there's special spray you can buy to clean synthetic tack but for now a clean brush works lol... haha don't do like my friend and brush it with a dirty horse brush :P the hair sticks to it like sticky tape...

When they first came out with the wintec saddles, the advertised all you had to do was wash them with soap and water, and let them dry....I have a western on for my husband, but it has never been cleaned, cause he only has used it about 4 times! lol Cathy

I put mine in the wash rack and hit it with the hose.

Good as new.
