Probably the most important thing to do first is to invest in a good cleaner. If you have a leather handbag, make sure
you purchase a cleaner suited to your particular leather bag. They have some very good cleansers on the market that are well suited for lambskin, calfskin, alligator, etc. It really does make a difference what kind of leather you have, as the pH balance may differ depending on the leather and your cleanser should be specifically tailored to your leather. The best cleansers will have a non-darkening agent added in, so that you do not accidentally darken the color of your bag when you clean it. Look for those cleansers that indicate this on the label. Also, the best cleansers will have a waterproofing agent as well. If you really like a particular cleanser for your bag that does not include a waterproofing agent, you can do this step separately and we will discuss waterproofing and other treatments of your bag later in this article.
If you have a cloth bag or any other non-leather material, make sure you learn the designer’s and/or manufacturer’s instructions for maintaining and cleaning. Some bags can tolerate water quite well, and others cannot. It depends on the porosity of the bag’s surface and what the material is. A mild soap and water can sometimes be used, but it is important to check this and some bag designers will indicate that a leather cleaner should be used even if the bag is not leather.
After cleansing, treating your bag is just as important if not more important. You will want to waterproof your bag, certainly, but there is more to it than that. If you have fine hardware on your bag (and you should, if it’s a designer bag!) you will want to treat the metal(s) with something that prevents darkening due to hand oils and dirt. Especially for bags with handles that are clutched, you can also use this type of treatment on the knobs and clasps on purses that do not have handles. Oil is one of the most detrimental substances for a bag, and you will want to avoid having oily skin residue or other oils on your handbag anywhere, even the metal handles. Some treatments protect against water and oil in one solution. These are your best bet. If your bag is of the patent leather variety or otherwise requires a shine to it, you can get a shining treatment as your last resort, but this is not as critical.
