Step 1: Scrubbing the Bag

The first step in removing mascara from your Gucci is to use a cloth with warm water and gentle soap to scrub stained areas.

Make sure to scrub in small circles and avoid applying too much pressure, as this can cause damage. Once the stained area is clean, rinse the cloth with warm water and lightly dab bag.

Step 2: Removing the Stain

Once you have scrubbed away the excess mascara, it's time to start attacking the stain itself. To do this, mix rubbing alcohol with a few drops of dish soap and apply it to the mascara stains. Gently rub the mixture into stain using a cloth.

When you've finished rubbing the mixture in, let it sit for 5 minutes before rinsing it off. After the 5 minutes has elapsed, rinse the bag with warm water and a clean cloth.

Step 3: Spot Treating and Drying

Once you've removed the stain, it's important to spot treat the area to make sure the stain does not return. To do this, use an old toothbrush and a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar to scrub the area.

After scrubbing, let bag air dry or pat dry with a towel. Avoid using a blow dryer as this can cause the colors to fade.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

The last step is to protect the bag with a leather conditioner. Use a cloth to apply the conditioner in short circular motions across all surfaces of the bag. This will help maintain the material and keep it looking brand new for longer.
