Members Stacy Posted April 8, 2011 Members Report Posted April 8, 2011 While giving a lesson last week to a young girl, she got scared and was crying. I talked her through it and she ended up having a great time. After she left, I noticed a big stain on the roughout seat of the saddle. I think she got so scared she peed in her pants!! I felt bad - I don't want to embarass her by asking her...but I do want to get the saddle clean, remove the stain. Any suggestions? or is this just how it is going to be from now on? Thanks!! Quote

Don't ask me how I know this... There's this stuff called Bickmore Suede & Nubuck cleaner. IT WORKS. Yes, it works on roughout seats with pee on them. Also removes rat poop stains. Wet it generously, and really work up some suds using a soft toothbrush. Wet the whole seat, not just the pee spot, so you don't leave water rings. If you have a smallish wire bristle brush (not super strength, like to clean a BBQ - but like the kind you'd use to take old paint off a window frame) use that when it's completely dry to brush the nap back up. But it will take a day or two to really dry. If you use a wire brush when it's wet, it can stretch and tear up your leather. Pee Be Gone. Quote
Members Stacy Posted April 18, 2011 Author Members Report Posted April 18, 2011 Awesome!! Thank you so much - i'll order the Bickmore Suede & Nubuck cleaner tomorrow !!! Quote
Members Saddlebag Posted April 22, 2011 Members Report Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) A word of caution, the roughout leather on the seat can't take the abuse that suede shoes can when it comes to a wire brush. My preference is to use the edge of a cellulose sponge that has dried like a board. I'll rake the edge across the suede to raise the nap. No way of harming the suede.
