I have an old bridle and saddle that was very dusty and smelled like the musty shed it had been stored in. With a little bit of rubbing the Kiwi Saddle Soap was able to get it back to its original shine. I also think this product smells much better than saddle soaps I've used in the past. It was not able to get a bit of rust off the silver metal buttons that decorate the outer edge of the saddle (any suggestions?). I'm in search of a product that can finish the cleaning by getting that taken care of, but I'm completely satisfied with the way the saddle soap cleaned up the filthy, smelly leather and will definitely use it in the future. I also cleaned up an old pair of musty cowboy boots with no problems.
