Bates Glycerine Soap is the ideal first step in your leather care program. Using a damp cloth, remove any surface dirt before applying the glycerine saddle soap. Work the soap into the leather using circular motions to form a lather that will lift dirt and sweat. Using a clean, damp cloth, remove any excess saddle soap. Once dry, use Bates Leather Balsam to replenish the moisture content and form a protective barrier. Treated in this way your leather will remain supple with rich colour and longevity.
