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!!

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.

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.
