Brilio.net - Old bags are items that are used almost every day. However, over time, bags that used to be shiny can become dull due to exposure to stains. The surface of bags made of various materials such as leather, cloth, or synthetics can be exposed to stains, dust, and oil which makes the appearance of the bag less attractive .
Restoring the shine and cleanliness of an old bag is not an easy job. Various stubborn stains often stick and are difficult to remove with ordinary methods. Using the wrong cleaning products can even damage the bag material, making it look even duller and shabby. Therefore, cleaning an old bag requires special techniques and extra patience.

Next, apply the cleaning agent to the entire outside of the dirty bag. While applying, scrub it using an old toothbrush. Make sure you scrub it gently so that no parts are damaged or peeled. The use of a rough brush should also be avoided to maintain the quality of the bag.

Now, if the stain has faded, immediately wipe it using a clean, dry cloth. Do this process until there is no stain or cleaner left. After that, air the bag so that it dries better. But don't dry it directly under the sun, okay? Just leave it in a cool place so that it dries and becomes cleaner. That way, the appearance of the bag will be shiny like new.
