Cleaning cream leather

Hi ladies,

Don't know if this is the right place to post but, ... does anyone know how I should tackle cleaning my cream leather bag? I've spent a fair bit of $$ on it, and don't want to ruin it. After about 12 months on the car floor, restaurant floors etc, it's gotten a bit yucky. When I bought it I should have put some protective cream on it, but I didn't think as most of my bags are black/brown and I've never really had a light bag before (well not leather anyway).

TIA for your advice/suggestions.

try some eucalyptus oil dialuted in water..

You can buy leather cleaning creams at shoe and bag shops.

No eucalyptus oil please.
You can try a leather cleaning cream from a bag shop or if you want to send it away you can send it to a bag spa.
The Apple leather products are really good quality.
Depending on the brand you might be able to ask the retailer to send it for treatment - Hermes send it to Paris but most of them just use a local spa.

I probably sound like your Mum but you should be using a protective spray and a conditioner on your black and brown bags too and get some handbag hooks so they don't have to sit on the floor.

Lovin My Bags ships to Australia but it costs a fortune for shipping. Might be worth it if your bag was really expensive.

Thanks ladies! I didn't think of a leather cleaner actually, I always knew there were leather conditioners and protectants as such.......will investigate.

Onyx, that's an excellent tip about the hook, I've seen them before but never thought to get one. I makes sense to use it so the bag doesn't end up on the floor.
