Accidentally stained on your expensive white leather bag? Scratches, stains, marks and cosmetic damage such as that on your bags have to be treated properly. The treatment should be based on the source of its damage and of course, the material the bag is made of. Common stains include makeup, marks from pen ink, food and drink stains, and color transferred from other clothes. Read on for some proven tips on how to revitalize your bag and give back its original immaculate and spotless state.

Leather
Start by applying leather cleaning cream, protectant or conditioner in order to get rid of the grime on the surface, as well as the scratches. This is also great for moisturizing leather to make it look pristine again. An excellent cleaner is the Apple Leather brand of cleaners. These cleaners are able to get rid of a lot of types of stains like grease, excess oils from leather, food, as well as soil. Another leather protectant is the Eagle One Nano Protectant which works real good too. Spray a good amount on a white, dry cloth and wipe it directly and evenly to where your bag needs it.

For those stubborn marks and stains of ink on your bag, you could opt to use traditional oil medicated in Asia, much like the Axe Medicated Oil. Rubbing alcohol which is available in drugstores could also be used. This little tip is utilized by those in the bag stores. A lot of those who have tried this also have given highly positive feedback. They always say that it really does wonders for their bags. All you have to do is to pour it on a white, dry cloth and afterwards, rub it just lightly on the stain on your bag. The stain should easily come off.


Patent leather
If you think treating leather is difficult, try patent leather. Bags made of patent leather are probably the most challenging to treat. The moment a certain color is transferred on the patent leather, it is highly possible to have that color on the bag permanently. But if you manage to discover the stain on the bag earlier, it is still possible to save your bag through Mr. Clean Magical Eraser. Acetone could also be used.

    Above everything mentioned, it is crucial to do a patch test inside the bag firsthand before the treatment is begun. Never ever use detergent as this will surely damage your bag even more.
