How To Clean Chloe Leather Bag
- #395
Go to a leather shop and have it professionally cleaned. I was impatient, please do not do the same okay.
What does it mean? they can clean professionally your bag inside and outside???
Other question: how shall I use baby wipes? Have I to rub and wet the leather and then make it dry or shall I never wet it and only rub gently?
I think that baby wipes is not cleaning enough...

An FYI on Mr Clean Magic Eraser. This is a cellulose type sponge, no cleaners of any kind involved. We use these on EVERYTHING in our house and in our car. These things are FABULOUS for almost any household chore.
I HAVE used Magic Eraser on an off-white Dior leather. Removed the dye transfer from jeans AND a small ink mark.
I would advise that anytime you try a new product on a bag use it first on part of the leather that is least visible (inside or on the bottom of the bag) until you see what the results will be.
Some posts here say first try the magic eraser DRY, and I would certainly try that first. RUB GENTLY.
If you are going to try using a WET Magic Eraser... there are some things to consider:
1. Use only a brand new CLEAN magic eraser.
2. RING THAT SUCKER OUT before you use it on the bag... you are using WATER and if you put too much water on leather, it will leave a water stain. Wet a corner, mash out the excess water, rub gently. This usually will darken the area, because you got it WET. So let it DRY before you determine if you need to try it again. Do not keep rubbing just because the area got darker. It needs to DRY.
3. WHAT'S IN YOUR WATER? Many places where there is a PUBLIC water system COMMONLY treat the public water system w/ flourides and with BLEACH. Don't use that water. I recommend using DISTILLED bottled water (not the same as drinking water).
Be careful. And do consider a professional service like lovinmybag when you have a serious issue. Better safe that sorry!

Cleaning BEIGE twill lining:
Received a Chloe bag w/ NASTY interior lining.... grease spots, make-up, dirt, black marks, food... filthy.
Used a DIY at home "dry cleaning kit". Brand was Custom Cleaner. Has directions inside box as to "spot cleaning".
I cut the dry cleaning sheet into smaller pieces, wet the sheet, turned the bag lining inside out and started gently scrubbing. Cleaned the entire lining.
Then hung the bag up w/ lining still hanging out and let it dry overnight.
There is still one slight red make-up/lipstick stain to address, but the rest of the lining cleaned up well.
CAUTION - to anyone who uses water to clean inside or outside of a handbag, please consider what is IN your water before using it. Many cities treat public water w/ bleach. You may wish to use bottled distilled water just to be on the safe side.
