Question Posted Monday September 28 2009, 11:36 am
I have a lot of designer bags that get dirty over time and I really don't want to risk the chance of trying to clean them myself, so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I should take them to get them cleaned? Do some department stores do that? Any businuesses?

MINUTE a shoe repair shop in Australia they sell all kinds of leather treatments & polishes hey they fix leather shoes, bags are leather too. I have a Super Stain Remover book written by Jack Cassimatis I just found the Cleaning Leather Bags index try a test on a hidden part of the bag to see how it goes first here's what it says to do.
LEATHER
Use Saddle soap as directed on the packet.
MESH
sprinle white vinigar onto a soft cloth and rub well all over the bag.Next sprinke some amonia onto another cloth and again rub well all over the bag. Then clean wipe over the bag with a clean cloth dipped in clean water and let dry. When dry buff well with a clean dry cloth.
STRAW (Natural)
Beat the white of 1 egg till stiff then, while beating gradually add the juice of 1 medium lemon and 1 teaspoon of epsom salt or cooking salt. Using a toothebrush, brush the mixture all over the bag, wipe over with damp cloth to even out the coating leave in sun to dry.
