Spilled orange soda on my new BIANCO...Help??

illestrated · Apr 25th, 2008, 10:37 PM

I've been a lurker here but I would really like some help. :( I spilled orange soda on my new (2 days!) Bianco Gioco and I'm worried about getting the stain out. I had a debate about how I'd get it dirty and jinxed myself. I was driving on the freeway when it happened and didn't get home until almost two hours later. Even though I got it on sale for an insanely low price...I still feel really bad.

Luckily I was able to remove the stains from the 'print' and on the white shoulder straps completely. What I'm having a problem with is the LeSportsac logo trimming next to the colorful zipper. The stain is on the end of the zipper where the leather tab is (Gioco owners should know what I'm talking about). The stain from the zipper end is about 4 inches long of pale and noticeable orange.

So far I've tried dishwashing soap solutions (once with vinegar and once with peroxide) but now I just want to stop and ask someone before I overdo it. I was contemplating the Magic Eraser but wasn't sure...plus I don't want to mistakingly erase the Lesportsac logo.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...I am mostly worried about ruining any of the following:

-Lesportsac logo(s)
-color on the zipper
-Leather

Oh Boy, That does not sound good.
Poor Gioco

I clean all my tokies with magic eraser and works fine on the nylon.
In my experience, it has never "erased" the logo on the trim. Then again, I don't own Biancos because of the very reason of your posting: stains.

Whatever you do, DON'T rub the Magic Eraser on the leather, it makes it crack and look old overtime.

Hope you can get it out

the clorox pen is the best thing to clean bags
the tide pen doesn't do shit all imo
just make sure not to get the clorox bleach near your clothing

Shout spray. There was an incident where carrot juice spilled on my Bianco Caramella, and the only thing that got the orange stains out of the ribbon, the zipper and the stitching was plain ol' Shout spray. Soak a cotton swab and work it into the fabric until it lightens. I threw my Caramella in the washer afterwards, but I don't think you want to do that with your Gioco.

Shout gel might work better, but all I had on hand at the time was the spray. Hydrogen peroxide might always work, but I would be concerned about oxidizing the metal.
