Leather Horse
Is baby oil (mineral oil) okay to use on leather horse bridles/saddles to condition the leather?
My father in law gave me some old leather bridles, and I was wanting to oil them to get them more supple without spending a fortune on special leather oil. I usually use neatsfoot (100% pure) on my tack, but was trying to find a less expensive way.
To retain its beauty and other desirable qualities, Leather requires frequent conditioning to replace the natural lubricants lost during normal use. With proper care, Leather can be protected from excessive dryness that can cause it to crack, and from moisture that may cause it to swell or mildew.
1. Because unprotected leather is susceptible to spotting from water and other liquids, a newly purchased leather item should be treated immediately to prevent permanent stains. The use of too much oil and wax, however, can clog pores, causing leather to lose its ability to allow air in and moisture out.
2. Always hang leather coats on wide padded hangers. Use shoe trees in shoes and boots. Stuff empty handbags with tissues to retain their shape.
3. Do not store leather goods in plastic bags or other nonporous covers. If clothing must be stored in a garment bag, keep it open for ventilation.
4. Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally away from any source of heat. Apply a little leather conditioner when the leather is nearly dry to restore flexibility. Follow this with a full conditioning treatment after the leather has completely air-dried.
5. In winter, promptly remove any salt deposits by sponging with clean water, then follow with the treatment recommended above for wet or damp leather. To prevent mildew, protect leather from excessive humidity.
6. In a dry environment, regularly condition the leather in order to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
7. Do not use waxes, or silicone formulas or other leather preparations that impair the ability of the leather to "breathe".
8. Never use caustic household chemicals to clean leather. Also, avoid leather preparations that contain alcohol.
9. Avoid turpentine and mineral spirits as they can pull color.
10. Caution. Use of mink oil or other animal fats will darken leather.
Now get out there and enjoy your new leathers.
