Subject: Cleaning saddle??
Does anyone clean their saddle? With all the sweating we do on our bikes, shouldn't we clean our saddles? My real question is how do you clean it?? I was told soap and water, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable doing that. Any suggestions....

I have a white saddle and use a Mr.Clean magic eraser.

I prefer a seat with character/funk.  No cleaning.

I use just soap and water; I figure that’s better then not doing anything...

No, just never felt the need.  I do wash the bike, but I don't wash the saddle.  I've got several thousand miles on it, doesn't seem to be an issue (fizik arione)

I tried to clean my saddle once because it is was white. That was the last time I tried - I have never seen the need since - but not being comfrotable w/ soap and water - that could lead to serious problems in life later on

When I clean my bike I don't specifically wash my saddle but maybe I should especially after I race on it...I do wash my saddle bag after races.
