Does anyone know where you can send your saddles to be cleaned and etc? I have seen many post about how to clean or how to stop the squeak but I would like to have my done by someone who can do a thorough cleaning and check of my saddle. There is nothing that I know of local.

Dry new leather will squeek. Simply by adding needs foot oil to the backside of the leather will take care of it.If your saddle is light colored and don't want It to darken. One layer of oil with a paint brush is all that is needed.The oil will soak into the leather like a sponge. Do not oil the top of your saddle as it has a coated finish. If you oil heavy it will darken your saddle and the oil will soak into you jeans. That noise you hear is coming from the back strap that holds your stirrup that runs up under your seat and back down.

I have laid my saddles upside down and put baby powder under the fenders and on the stripes that run under the seat. It works good for me. If it starts to squeak again just add more baby powder.
