It happens to all of us. You have an amazing bag or purse and one day, oops! You find a berry stain on it. Fortunately, there are some ways to remove the stain, though it may take a bit of effort.
Getting Rid of Fruit Stains on Handbags and Purses
The most important thing to remember when dealing with a berry stain is to act quickly. The faster you move to treat stain, the better the outcome will be. Here are a few steps to follow for best results:
- Mix together a solution of 1tsp it mild detergent, 1 tbs white vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water.
- Dip a cloth into the solution and gently dab stain.
- Repeat this process until the stain fades away.
- If the stain remains, use a soft-bristled brush dipped in the solution and lightly brush over stain.
- Once the stain is removed, rinse the area with clean water and then let it air dry (do not put bag in the dryer).
These methods should work for most types of stains, but for tough ones you may want to contact a professional cleaner. They can provide you with more specialized advice.
