Re: RC: tack cleaning

I once had a pair of boots that I had to literally pour the water out of.  I 
washed them [because they were covered in mud too] and just put Lexol on them 
with my hands about 1-2 times a day and let them dry naturally.  I left them 
in the laundry room.  They were better after they dried than before they got 
wet.  Water itself does not hurt leather, however heat and dampness do.  I 
have tried all of the expensive and not so expensive stuff.  I like New 
Leather the best but they quit making it and I went back to Leather New which 
is about the same.  It works just as well as the other.  If you know how to 
wash and clarify bacon grease, that is the best thing to use on almost 
anything from leather to horse boo boos.....Maryben
