Things that You Need
- Dishwashing liquid
- Lightweight non-abrasive scrub brush
- Cloth rag
- Vinegar
- Baking soda
Step 1: Scrub the Stain Away
Start by dampening a cloth rag with some dishwashing liquid. Take a lightweight non-abrasive scrub brush and scrunch up the cloth rag around the bristles. Use the scrub brush to gently scrub away at the marker stain in a circular motion.
For tougher stains, try using a cleaner specifically designed for leather, such as saddle soap. When done scrubbing, wipe off the soap with a clean damp cloth.
Step 2: Baking Soda and Vinegar
Baking soda and vinegar are two of most effective home remedies for removing stubborn stains. Make a paste by combining one part baking soda and one part vinegar. Apply the paste onto the marker stain and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a non-abrasive scrub brush.
Step 3: Final Cleaning
Once the marker stain is gone, grab a clean damp cloth and wipe away the paste. You may need to use a suede brush to remove any remaining debris. When you’re finished, buff the area to restore original finish of your Hermes.
