Default saddle bag cleaning tips?

Just got a set of HD rigid locking bags and love them. Put some leather goo for protection and shine to it and HOLY COW those things stay FILTHY. Not that i'm complaining, I proudly admit I ride my bike a lot more than I wash it but I was wondering, anyone have any good cleaning techniques or tips they've picked up, or should I just stick with le old once in a while sponge and water washing/slaving

I use Neatsfoot oil on all my leather.
Protects leather against stiffening and drying out. Restores leather's softness and makes it more pliable. Penetrates as it lubricates and waterproofs the fibers, yet allowing the leather to breathe.

Now is there a product that will work on a ****** like this and cheaper than a divorce?

I don't think auto zone would know what is.
I get it mine from a horse tack shop or Tandy leather

The ORIGINAL Doc Bailey's leather black works real good to keep that "like new" look. "water proofs-nourished-restores color-cleans". Works as advertizes, just a tittle messy to apply.

I've used it for years.

Hope this helps,
Best wishes....Tim(HT)

Clean with "Saddle Soap", (follow directions on can or bottle) then treat with "Mink Oil".
