I would suggest cleaning the leater a few times a year and conditioning the leather after you clean it. You want to make sure the leather stays soft and supple. I would condition the leather once a month but only clean the leather 2 or 3 times a year. I like Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner....

I just use saddle cream. The stuff cowboys use. It keeps that leather smell and you don't slide on the seat.
