Anyone tried bleaching there saddles to get them back white again?, mines all brown & faded now..
Anyone tried it? Did it work? Is there any other tips to get "white" saddles white again?
Cheers.
Don't bleach it - it'll turn a dirty shade of yellow. I use Swarfega orange hand cleaner on my T.H.E. seat - comes up a treat.
vinyl/leather cleaner?
ah sweet, I'll try both tomorrow! cheers!
I don't know what saddle you've got, I've got a Charge Spoon, no fading here, i just wipe down after rides and it's still white. To be fair white is not the most sensible thing to put on a mountain bike is it.
No but this is STW - we're not here to be sensible. P.I.M.P. 8)
Neat Muc-off works on my Spesh Alias
second the muc-off, or 5hit shifter if that is your preference.
Cillit bang works wonders - spray on, brush, rinse - whiteness 🙂
muc-off here too, is a charge spoon though so not leather
I use either acetone (from my lab) or nailpolish remover (which has an acetone base), then wipe it off with water. Seems to do the trick - aswell as avoiding cycling when it's muddy!
If it gets really bad, polishing with metal polish/t-cut/similar (assuming it's not made of real leather) will clean it up nicely too.
