How to remove stains from leather bag: home trick

When we buy leather bags, we rely on reliability and durability. It's not a cheap pleasure, so we expect the quality to be of a corresponding standard.

However, even expensive items get stains and scuffs over time. Informacion has explained how to effectively clean a leather bag without spending money on special products.

To avoid damaging the delicate material, you should avoid aggressive chemicals and powders containing abrasive particles. The secret to high-quality cleaning is to use only two ingredients: warm water and neutral soap. This mixture, when used correctly, can restore your favorite accessory and return it to its original shine.

Step 1. Pour some warm water into a container and dissolve a small amount of neutral soap in it. Make sure you get a smooth, mild soap mixture.

Step 2. Soak the cloth in the mixture. The cloth should be slightly damp: the detergent should not drip off.

Step 3. Wipe the contaminated areas on the skin with careful movements, following the direction of the fibers. This is one of the most important points. Too much friction or circular movements can cause irreparable damage.

Step 4. Now let's move on to rinsing. Take a clean cloth, soak it in cold water, and wipe the bag, removing any soap residue.

Step 5. It is important not only to wash the bag thoroughly but also to dry it properly. Use a clean, soft cloth and leave the bag to dry in the open air, avoiding direct sunlight.

Important note: avoid products with alcohol as they can dry out and damage the leather.

If your bag has specific stains or is made of special leather, we advise you to contact the experts and take the bag to a dry cleaner.
