Has anyone ever cleaned their holster?

[aHFo3]

I was looking inside my DeSantis Nemesis Holster and wondering what the best way to clean it is?

Any Suggestions?

Soapy Water and a toothbrush?

For leather I wouldn't clean it, just oil it or use leather conditioner. If you really got is muddy (fell into a mud puddle, etc.) use saddle soap, and let it dry completely before using it.

It all depends on the holster and the holster maker. I have three custom holsters (Kramer, Nighthawk and Kellogg). All three recommend that you use a damp (plain water) cloth to wipe them with. Most custom or high end holster makers use a special treatment that can be damaged with leather treatment oils. Besides softening the leather to the point that it loses or can't hold its shape.

I do have four other holsters that DO require leather oil treatment. I use 100% pure neetsfoot oil for these.

The Bushmaster has it nailed: Neetsfoot oil is great stuff. Wipe off any dirt or mold with a dry rag and apply some oil using a soft cloth.
