After cleaning, streaks may remain on light-colored materials, so treat the surface with a light soapy solution and dry the accessory immediately.

Bag Leather Cleaner: Glycerin

To prevent the very appearance of dirt, light accessories should definitely be treated with dust and water repellents. Professional sprays are perfect for this, but if they are not at hand, you can use regular glycerin.

On a clean surface, use a soft cloth or cotton pad to apply some glycerin, rub lightly and allow to absorb.
