How to Get Rid of Mayonnaise Stains from Handbags and Purses

Mayonnaise isn't just for sandwiches. Unfortunately, it can be a very messy condiment- often getting onto clothing and other fabrics. In a worst-case scenario, that can include your handbag or purse. Removing mayonnaise stains from leather can seem like an intimidating task. But with the right technique, you can get your bag looking like new!

What You'll Need

• Leather cleaner or saddle soap
• Soft cloth
• Hair dryer (optional)

Instructions

1. Remove all food residue from the leather using a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing too hard.
2. Apply leather cleaner or saddle soap to the stained area. Make sure to use a clean cloth, as using a dirty one can add dirt to the stain.
3. Rub the cleaner into the leather in a circular motion to help lift the stain. Work cleaner into the fibers to break up the stain. Allow the cleaner to sit on material for about 5 minutes before wiping it off.
4. Wipe the cleaner off with a damp cloth. If any of the stain remains, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Once the stain is gone, use a hair dryer to help dry the leather. This will help prevent water stains.

Tips

• Don't scrub too hard when removing food residue and cleaner, as this could damage the leather.
• If mayonnaise stain has been there for awhile, you may need to use a leather conditioner afterwards to restore the shine.
