How to Clean a Coach Bag

Coach began as a family business in 1941 making high-quality leather products. While Coach now makes a variety of goods including wallets, sunglasses, fragrances and scarves, people are most familiar with their purses. Due to their quality and demand, coach bags are relatively expensive. Because of this, caring for your Coach bag and cleaning it is a must, especially for those who cannot afford to just buy another one.

Things You'll Need

• Coach Fabric Cleaner
• Coach Leather Cleaner
• Coach Suede Kit
• Rag

Instructions

1. Use Coach cleaning products on leather and fabric bags. Coach sells two cleaning products called Coach Signature Fabric Cleaner and Coach Leather Cleaner. For each cleaner, apply a small amount to a soft clean cloth and apply to the appropriate Coach bag in a circular motion. Wipe away with a clean damp rag when done. For the leather cleaner, after thirty minutes, Coach recommends using their leather moisturizer to restore its original luster.

2. Use the Coach suede care kit that came with your suede bag. Each kit usually contains a pink and gray cleaning bar and a special brush. For light stains, use the pink side of the cleaning bar and gently rub in a back and forth motion. Be sure the bag is dry when you do this. When done, use the brush to remove any residue and to restore the original texture of the bag. For deeper or more serious stains, wet the gray side of the cleaning bar and gently rub the soiled area in a back and forth motion. Allow it to dry and then brush away the residue and restore the bag's original texture.

3. Call the store where you purchased your Coach bag. Sometimes stores offer post-purchase services to their customers and will clean or give advice on cleaning your specific coach bag with your specific stain.

4. Use other leather, fabric and suede cleaning products. Although Coach recommends you use their products,you could take a chance and use other products that are similar. In general, you will still clean your Coach bag using the same methods described above, but check the instructions to be sure.

Tips & Warnings

• Follow manufacture directions for all cleaning products, even the Coach cleaners. Check the bag's label to know what your bag is really made of and that you bought the correct corresponding cleaner.
