Worked on my poor neglected tack
I hardly ever take the time to clean my tack and I ride 7 days a week, so my tack (especially my bridles) gets very crusty with dirt, salt, dust, dried sweat, etc. I bought this product after reading reviews that it doesn't make your tack sticky. After using it on my poor neglected bridles, I am HOOKED on this product. It effortlessly cleaned off months of crud and made my leather feel very soft and supple and my bridles looked new. It makes me want to clean my tack more often. It is the first cleaner I've used that didn't feel sticky or tacky and it took very little effort to get beautiful results. I love this product!

This smells like straight rubbing alcohol!
Not happy with this at all- smells like rubbing alcohol really strongly and it burned my skin. I am not confident that I can use it on girths and bridles that will sit against my horse's skin.

Works perfect!
After just one cleaning with this product my tack feels soft and isn't greasy at all compared to when I use other cleaners. I would definitely recommend this product

Easy to use!
It's a practical cleaner to use on my tack daily for quick clean-up after a ride or lesson. I pour it into a spray bottle and spray onto an old washcloth, then apply onto my tack which makes it even easier to use!

I bought this based on a recommendation and it works really well. Cleans without any residue and enhances the leather shine.

Hands down my favorite leather cleaner
This is the best leather cleaner I've ever used (and I've used just about every tack cleaner out there) and I keep purchasing it over and over again. This cleaner is a liquid just like water and it goes onto the leather and slightly lathers up. The cleaner strips any oils or caked on dirt immediately. This is my go to cleaner for neglected tack (dirt jockeys) or for after-cross-country tack cleaning. Fair warning: this cleaner is extremely drying so I do not recommend for every day use. Also, I never use this cleaner without applying some type of conditioner afterwards (Also like the Effax leather balsam). The smaller sample size bottle is great for tack trunks at shows.

Not oily at all! It's like a clear liquid. Seemed strange at first but it really cleans and has totally restored an old pair of half chaps that was sitting around for 1 year!

Moderately useful
I bought this product with the intention of cleaning my saddle, bridle and leather halter. I did not really soften any of the letter. It was relatively good at cleaning, however.

the best leather cleaner/conditioner
An experienced horse woman rec'd effax to me about 15 years ago. My saddles and bridles are anywhere from 23 years old to brand new. This product is one secret to making your tack last over time and look beautiful.

Gunk Gone!
This product strips all the gunk off while still leaving the leather conditioned. Use it at least once a week in addition to my regular daily cleaning.

This is the only tack cleaner that I use/buy. I love all of their products, and I can't wait for my cleaner + mildew prevention to arrive as well. Their products are so convenient, and I love how easy they are to use, and how it makes my tack feel after using them.

Great!
I bought this along with the effax leather balm and I really like it. Haven't found a leather I don't like it on, and I'm pretty tough about that. Also like how they offer sample sizes... Every leather cleaner company should do that.

Best Daily Leather Cleaner
I discovered the Effax Leather Combi about 15 years ago at the Devon Show. So happy I took a chance and tried something new. Excellent gentle daily leather tack cleaner. Easy to use and smells great. Does NOT leave a sticky gummy residue. Matter of fact, this will help to remove the built up gummy, sticky meds on your fine leather tack. Brings your leather back to a clean soft, feel. It even brings the original colors back as it strips away the built up gunk from using daily saddle soap. My go to product for any leather or vinyl tack clean up.

Best Leather Cleaners Available!
10 years ago I purchased a high end used saddle. I always used Effax Leather products on it to keep it clean. About a month ago I sold that saddle for $50 more than what I paid for it. This stuff keeps your leather in GREAT shape.
This product does a great job cleaning tack and it doesn't leave that gunky build up behind that so many other leather cleaners do. I use it approximately every other time I ride. I also combine it with the Effax Leather Balsam, which I use once or twice a month. Combined they've kept my tack in great shape.

Best Leather Cleaner
I live in a very humid climate so tack rarely needs to be conditioned or oiled and most tack soaps don't fully get out the gunkiness that accumulates with sweat, conditioner and dirt. Wiping down tack after every ride is super easy and doesn't leave a film or build up in any tooling. I do not find it dries out my tack because I already live in very humid conditions.

Cleans Thoroughly without Foam and Gumminess
This stuff is gentle and deeps cleans all leather. I haven't had a problem with it stripping color or leaving a residue. It doesn't foam much (if at all) when applied, and wipes off nicely. It leaves a clean surface to apply your favorite conditioner/oil. I've used it on fine leather (saddles, bridles, shoes, sofas, etc.) with great success.

great for after rides and lighter cleaning
This product is so easy to use and does a great job removing sweat and grim. Its very friendly toward leather and doesn't require getting the leather wet I like the way it smells too.
For really dirty leather that has a build up of black grim and a build up of dried sweat I resort to glycerine soap,suds and a scraper.

Great cleaning don't dig the smell
Cleans great but smells like rubbing alcohol. And it's very liquidy so it seems to not spread much I feel like I have to use a lot.

Best leather cleaner ever!
I have used this product for the past couple of years and it is by and far the best leather cleaner out there. I can take an old piece of leather that is dirty and dry and practically make it look like it did when I bought it! You will need to purchase a leather conditioner to your leather once it has completely dried. You want be disappointed with this product.

Excellent Cleaner
This is a great deep cleaner for weekly cleaning. It is very sudsy so I mix it with water and put it in a spray bottle - 1 part soap/3 parts water. Water bottle makes it more convenient too. I then spray it on my saddle or I spray it on a wet sponge for cleaning my bridle. I then follow up with Passier Lederbalsam to condition it.
