Is there a preferred method for cleaning leather that has mildew on it? I have an antique toolbox with a leather strap that needs some love. Can post pics when I get home from work.

I cleaned the leather strap with some Kiwi brand saddle soap. It is still wet now so I will see how it looks when it dries. The leather is slightly dry rotted but not bad. It is still very flexible but the outer layer is cracked but not too deep. Will multiple applications of saddle soap fix this? Is there anything else I should buy to put on it? I know that I can't reverse the damage that is already done, but it would be cool if I can rejuvenate the leather that isn't damaged to prevent it from getting worse. Google says a lot of different things, but I want first hand advice from the people who work with leather every day. All I know is metal.
