How to Wash a Handbag

A handbag is one of the things that we tend to forget to wash or clean often, if never. So how can you clean your handbag without damaging it? It's actually a lot easier than you think, and it can be done with something that you may already have on-hand.

Things You'll Need

• Lint Roller or Tape
• Alcohol-Free Baby Wipes
• Windex
• Dry Clothes

Instructions

1. Begin by emptying the handbag and turning out all pockets.

2. Take a lint roller, or wrap your hand in tape, and remove any debris from the inside of the handbag.

3. Once all debris is removed, inspect the inside of the handbag for stains and/or marks. If you have stains or marks try using an alcohol-free baby wipe first. If this does not remove the stain then lightly spray a dry clothe with Windex and pat the stain, never rub.

4. Clean the remainder of the inside and the outside of the handbag with the alcohol-free baby wipes. If your bag is leather, you may want to follow up with a good leather cleaner in order to keep the leather in good condition.
