Step 1: Gather Proper Supplies

The items you'll need for the best glue stain removal results are all relatively simple. You'll need a microfiber cloth, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda. If the glue stain is extremely strong, you may want to also procure some liquid dish soap.

Step 2: Check the Care Instructions

Hermes bags and other items usually come with specific care instructions, so make sure to look them up if present. There may be certain recommendations or restrictions you need to be aware of before cleaning the glue stain.

Step 3: Use Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide by itself or mixed with baking soda will do the work of breaking down most glue stains. Once you've assembled a paste-like mix, apply it to the area and allow it to sit for several minutes.

Step 4: Gently Clean the Surface

Using a soft microfiber cloth, use gentle dabbing movements to remove the glue stain. Don't rub the area harshly with the cloth as this could damage the leather of your Hermes item.

Step 5: Inspect for Further Cleaning

The glue should have been removed with the previous steps, but if there is still some residue present, you may have to resort to liquid dish soap next. Reserve this step until absolutely necessary and use only mild dish detergent.

Step 6: Dry Completely

No matter which cleaning agent you used, dry the area completely before using your Hermes item again. Wipe away excess moisture with a soft cloth or paper towels, and keep item out of direct sunlight if there are still wet spots.
