How to Clean Rouge Stains From Handbags and Purses
The key to successful stain removal is to act quickly and use the right methods. Here are a few helpful tips on how to get rid of rouge stains from handbags and purses:
- Pre-treat stain with a gentle detergent and a soft brush. Work the mixture into the leather or fabric using a circular motion. Blot the area with a damp cloth until the stain is removed.
- If the stain persists, try using a household cleaner like vinegar or baking soda. Apply it directly to the stains and let it sit for about 5 minutes before patting dry. You may need to repeat this process a few times before the stain is gone.
- If the stain still isn’t budging, try using a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol. Be sure to test this method on a small area of the purse or handbag first.
- If all else fails, take the handbag or purse to a professional cleaner.
Once you’ve successfully removed stain, it’s important to protect your handbags and purses to prevent future staining. Consider applying a leather conditioner or water repellant spray to keep them looking their best.
