How to Clean Scissors Oil Stains From Handbags and Purses
- Start by dabbing the affected area with a clean cloth or paper towel. Do not rub, as this may cause the stain to spread.
- Next, mix 1/4 cup of mild dish soap and 1/4 cup of white vinegar in 1 quart of warm water. Submerge the stained area of the handbag or purse into the mixture for about 15 minutes.
- Then, use a soft brush to gently scrub the affected area.
- Once you have released any remaining oils from the material, rinse the handbag or purse off with cold water.
- Finally, lay it flat to air dry completely. Do not place the bag or purse in the dryer.
