How to Keep Your Expensive Purse (handbag) Clean

The last thing you want if you have spent a fortune on a purse (or handbag) is for it to get dirty or stained.

A few simple tips can keep your luxury purse/handbag looking new.

Instructions
Step 1
Always protect your expensive purse/handbag. It’s an investment so keep it in a soft pillowcase or store in a dust cover when you aren’t using it.
Step 2
Whenever you handle your purse/handbag make use your hands are clean. It’s easy to get a smudge or stain on a handbag if you touch it with dirty hands.
Step 3

Make sure to check your hands after reading the newspaper to make sure you won’t transfer a smudge of print to your handbag when you pick it up.
Step 4
Make-up is another potential smudge or stain ready to happen. Make sure your hands are clean after you apply your make-up especially if you are out in a restaurant, club or function where you might be freshening up your make-up.
Step 5
Never put your purse/handbag on the floor. Without even knowing it you can not only pick up a ton of germs but it’s easy to get a stain or gum on the bottom of your purse/handbag.
Step 6
If your expensive purse/handbag does get a smudge or stain DO NOT try to clean it yourself. It’s best to take your purse to a high-end cleaner who will know exactly the right method for cleaning your bag depending on whether it’s leather, suede or fabric.
Step 7
Periodically have your purse/handbag professionally cleaned to remove the soil that accumulates from everyday use. It will give extended life to your expensive purse/handbag and keep it in good condition.
