That isn't actually the reason why I always give myself a little localized sponge bath if I'm riding in the morning (i.e., if I haven't had a shower yet that day - I'm not going to waste the energy and water on a full-body shower immediately before a ride).
But I'm sure my saddle smells better for it.

OakLeaf- That's Hillarious! I baby wipe sometimes too!!!
OK... I'll put some dryer sheets around it... and one in the saddle bag!!!
He doesn't use Chamois cream! (I KNOW!!) but maybe I'll spray his rear with Febreeze or something before he gets on! hehe
Thanks everyone!

How do you clean it with out taking it off the bike? I don't want to mess up his fit... Originally Posted by Biciclista

Have you considered something like Febreze - on the seat, not his butt - (or Lysol)?

I've been known to spritz a little Fabreeze on the saddle before taking the bike into the shop. If my gloves can get unbearably stenchy, the part that I sit on gets even worse!

That's why they make saddles with that cut-out, as it let's the farts go *through*, where they are then dispersed by the rear wheel.
