There are a lot of techniques and methods to remove stains from handbags, since each stain needs different treatment here are some common day-to-day stains that can be worked upon at home with ease, by following this step-by-step guide :

• Removing water stains –

Water is an enemy of leather be it your premium handbag or designer purse, exposure to water can lead to stains. To remove the stains it is advised to dab the water from your leather surface as soon as possible. Once done let the bag dry naturally in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight. If there are any visible stains on the leather you can use a leather conditioner on the area to get rid of the water stain.

• Removing Oil and Grease Stains –

For cleaning of oil and grease stains, we should start off as soon as possible before the area dries out. Use a microfibre cloth to get rid of as much oil or grease as possible, and sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the affected area, use a damp cloth and rub it lightly. Let it sit overnight, the soda or starch will absorb the oil, wipe the powder with a soft cloth and you have a good-looking handbag without those grease or oil stains.

• Removing Wine and Beer Stains –

You can use rubbing alcohol to treat alcohol stains on your premium leather purse, it’s surprising, isn’t it? Dip a cotton swab in an equal mixture of water and rubbing alcohol, and very gently blot the stain, make sure you don’t rub the stain as this would spread the stain even further.
