How can I protect my saddle against mildew?
5 Answers
Haven't been able to ride my bike for 18 months. It's been kept locked in a secure metal shed - rainproof but inevitably damp.
Now my fitness levels are returning, I took it out to clean it in readiness for use. The saddle was covered in mildew.
I've cleaned it up the best I can (but not brilliantly). How can I protect it against further mildew?
I don't want to use anything on it that will rub off on my trousers when I'm cycling.

Don't want to buy a new saddle. The bike's less than 2 years old and due to health problem (now sorted) hardly used. It's a good quality memory foam racing styled saddle with fine black leather covering. When Cleaning it, it looks fine but the bloom reappears on drying out, Guess I could go to the trouble of removing it and taking it indoors but it's a bit of a palaver. Will try the plastic bag.
