White saddle turning yellow

And no, I haven't peed on it :) I am a little frustrated. I hate white saddles, but I bought this one because I got a killer deal on it. I have the same saddle, but in black on my MTB.

I don't use lotions or creams, so it can't be that. The only thing that could be touching it would be sweat (I do a lot of that) and chamois cream I suppose could theoretically seep through the shorts.

Any thoughts?

Lol, I'm considering replacing it with a Brooks....which will not be white!

What have you tried so far? It is turning yellow all over or only in certain spots?

I haven't tried anything other than cleaning it with Clorox cleanup. My shorts are always laundered before wearing them and it doesn't seem to matter which shorts I wear. The yellowing is most of the saddle, but I cover most of it except the nose.

I'd put my money on sweat. If it's one of SI's leather-covered saddles, try regular soap.

I'll give it a try, can't hurt.
