And now, a question. Higher Standards for moldy/musty leather, y/n? I have a couple of pairs of leather shoes that have been in storage and somehow they got all musty but they are good quality so I want to try to save them.[/QUOTE]
I just used it on a pair that I had in storage. They look great, and they smell better!

Now I am going to wait impatiently for holiday gift pack options because I cannot for the life of me decide which āflavorā to try. 
Hmm ā well, the holiday gift packs wonāt be available for a while, but look at it this way, whichever one you pick will smell wonderful! 
You canāt go wrong!
(Yes, screamingly blatant self-promotion here! )
Iāve been terribleā¦ My saddle has been kept in my car for about 3 months straight nowā¦ :no:
Between riding/working at 3 different barns, my saddle is always just kicking it in the backseat with meā¦ Not exactly great for it, and it hasnāt been cleaned at all in that time. It was very dusty from the arenas and feeling kinda dry.
Brought it inside and went over it a couple times with my lavender vanilla soapā¦ Now itās super clean, soft, and buttery! Plus, my whole basement smells sooo good now
YES you can use HSLC on moldy/dusty/half rotted leather LOL. I have stuff Iād forgotten about in a barn/shed for over 6 years. It was pretty bad. Everything is buttery soft and clean now, one cleaning/conditioning. I am prob one of Libbyās biggest fans - her stuff is AWESOME. Period. Best. Stuff. Out. There.
I also will shamelessly push that the ATA is having a silent auction during the Convention and Libby has graciously donated a bucket with two conditioners and two soaps to the auction. Iāll post the link (you can bid on line as well as in person) if someone would like to bidā¦

Who was looking for the Sugar & Spice scent?!!
It is up on the website now, for a limited time! The rest of the Holiday Specials will be arriving later this month
Nothing says Holidays like candy cane scented tack!
Iām actually out of my balm, time to get more. This imposter crap Iām using does not compare.
Iām almost out of my last tub of vanilla mint and it makes me sad 
Libby, I may be emailing you soon to see if I can do a large order end of December/early January for an awards banquetā¦ will depend on what kind of turn out we have for yearly points.
We will be glad to work with you on awards! I like the vanilla mint too ā I think we need a reason to bring it back
I love the sugar & spice though. The factory (DH in my kitchen) is ramping up to make a lot of S&S today. I may just have to snag myself a jar of it!
I just bought my first jar of it the other week, in lavender vanilla. When it arrived at home, I decided to clean the dirtiest piece of leather I had immediate access to, just to see how it worked. So I pulled off the dogās collar, which has not been cleaned in the year and a half sheās been wearing it. Not only did it shine up and soften up, it also no longer smells like dead fish. So bravo, HS! When I finally took it out to the barn, it also did a nice job with my tack, but that was not so appallingly filthy 
If my COTH Secret Santa is prowling aboutā¦ I just bought the most gorgeous vintage Textan saddle with the most beautiful tooling and it is in some very serious need of some cleaning and conditioningā¦its three different colors and still squeaks! It needs some help before its first show. Vanilla Lavender would be great. I am dying to try this stuff out! Will buy some for my BO for X-mas too
Just ordered Sugar & Spice!
I just ordered Sugar and Spice for 2 friends for Christmas gifts and a Rosemary Mint for myself.
Now I am admittedly not all that fond of cleaning tack, but this stuff is AMAZING! Yes, I actually wanted to clean tack.
Love this!!!
Most of you have probably seen the announcement on social media, but just in case, our sale runs through Cyber Monday ā gift packs, two special scents and all the regulars are 15% off with the code SHOPSMALL.
Just bought another jar of Vanilla Lavendar (I use it on my show bridle in hopes the lavendar scent will settle my horse in dressageā¦ hehe) and the new CinniMint! Canāt wait!
So, a while back, I bought some Higher Standards soap. I liked it a lot. I used it up as it does inspire you to clean regularly (also, newish bridle and new saddle will do that to you).
Stashed the last partly melted (anyone else have this problem in the summer) grungy bit in my dressing room.
Used that up.
Reverted to the Big Name cleaner I had on hand. Thought that although Iād miss the smell, the good job HS soap did cleaning was probably equivalent.
A month or so later, and I give up! The Big Name cleaner is NOWHERE near as good. My bridle never really looks that clean the next day. Have now restocked with two containers, one of which will live in the dressing room and one in the tack locker.
Haha Asterix! Iāve been saying the same thing! BTW I will vouch that the Sugar and Spice is DIVINE!!! (And no my soap didnāt melt this summer in FL heat/humidity).
Just put in my first ever order! Donāt really even have any tack to clean ( horseless at moment) but bought some for barn friends for christmas gifts.
P.
Finally ordered some as well! I got the small ones for little gifts for my sisters to go with their other xmas present and the Sugar and Spice for myself. Very excited!
