I have the caviar tote in white (with silver hardware) and I am extra careful when I carry it. However, the interior seems somewhat "dusty" . How should I clean it?

It's the microfiber-ish lining, right?
If so, I use this for a lot and it does work..there is a carpet cleaner called Folex; just spray a little on a clean white washcloth, then gently rub out the areas that are the worst. Just keep doing the same thing until you get the whole inside of the bag done. It might take a couple of times to lighten it up, but just make sure you spray the folex on the washcloth, not the lining itself, otherwise you'll end up with a big wet spot that will take a long time to dry.

You're welcome! :)
You can find Folex at most home improvement stores. Lowes, Home Depot and Home Expo always have it.

I will keep this in hand, since I also have a white Chanel. Thanks Lvbabydoll.

Update if you can...did you try to clean it successfully? How if yes? Will it work on the white lining in a GST? I am looking to clean one. Thanks

I have the Chanel MultiPocket Cambon White Bag with Snake CC and black handles, after one season the black handles left black spots on the white leather, I sent it in Paris to be cleaned and got it back after 3 months with more black spots on it. It is imposible to be cleaned. The stains from jeans get out easyly with soap and water.
