Brilio.net - Old bags are often 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 the bag, which is made of various materials such as leather, cloth, or synthetic, is susceptible to stains, dust, and oil that can reduce its appeal. Restoring the shine and cleanliness of an old bag is not an easy task. Stubborn stains are often difficult to remove with regular cleaning methods. Using inappropriate cleaning products can even damage the bag material, making it even duller and shabby. Therefore, cleaning an old bag requires special techniques and extra patience.
To effectively clean an old bag, it is important to recognize the basic material of the bag. Each type of material requires different care, from using special soaps to natural ingredients. If the bag is made of rubber, a trick from Facebook user Fitri Rahmawati, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (11/12), can be an option for cleaning it. In one of the videos she uploaded, she showed how to use natural ingredients from the kitchen to remove dull stains on an old bag.

As reported by BrilioFood from Facebook Fitri Rahmawati on Wednesday (11/13), the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda, vinegar, and dishwashing soap. Well, how to use it is quite easy. Prepare a container and mix these three ingredients together. For the measurements, just use 1 tbsp of vinegar, 1 tbsp of baking soda, and a little soap. Stir the three ingredients until smooth.

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.
