Cleaning a handbag?

Cypresstree

Hi guys,

Ive four Radley bags that are in a bad way.... make up stains, a few sticky sweets... (you get the idea) :D

Im just wondering would/could a drycleaners clean handbags? Has anyone ever had a handbag dry cleaned? How'd it turn out?

Thanks a million

Hey,
thanks for that! Its more the lining inside that's the problem? I wonder could I use Vanish or something similar?
Thank you

I usually turn the lining inside out and use luke warm water and a soft cloth. Perhaps Vanish would probably do the trick, it depends on what the lining is made from, mine were usually polyester.

pow wow

Vanish might be a bit too harsh if it seeped through to the outside. A bar of regular soap, warm water and a nail brush?

I had a really yucky, sticky stain (don't ask) on the inside of my handbag and I handwashed it with a bar of vanish soap and it came out like new!!
