It is recommended to wipe off coarse dirt with a damp cloth or to clean with a hard brush. The zips should be cleaned more often to ensure that they close properly at all times. In addition, a zip spray can be used for this purpose. Since horse sweat hardens the leather, leather chaps should be wiped clean after each use. Do not leave the chaps to dry in direct sunlight or near radiators, but in a shady and airy place.
