It IS the best way to clean leather.

 

Some guy on the forum used it to clean a sofa.

 

I like him.

 

I told him.

 

I've posted this 'off topic' because it's not about Minis, but clearly needs to be thrashed out.

 

Once we've done that, we'll all agree I'm right.

 

Then we can move onto another deserving subject, like 'which fabric conditioner smells best' (Lenor Sensual Infusions Pearl & Moonflower, obviously)

If no argument is forthcoming, I shall declare myself  the forum leather expert.

 

You have 30 seconds.

I recon the "saddle soap sofa guy" was in trouble after he fell asleep on the sofa coming back from a late night and a kebab

It may have been the best thing to clean leather with twenty years ago, but these days there are vastly superiour modern products available.

(Actually I have absolutley no idea what I'm talking about, but that's what some bloke who works for a leather care company told me at a social function once. He did go on to elaborate as to why these other products were bette, but I "zoned out" at that point and started to search around the room, desperate to find someone else to make non leather care related small talk with")

Oh and as for the best smelling fabric softener, then I'm afraid that it has to be Comfort's "Tropical Burst"......obviously!!

Well, the salesman didn't have a scooby.

 

Horse saddles tend to get a bit grubbier than even the most heavily stained car seats, and I've cleaned saddles since I was 6

 

I get all Autoglym products freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... and it's ok as a nice smelling afterthought.

 

Blooming Jasmine is currently fragrancing my towels delightfully.
