Cleaning cloth around zipper on azur pochette?

[bowlica]

So I have an azur pochette and the cloth around the zipper has turned a bluish/green. The same thing has also happened on my Speedy azur 30.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to properly clean this up?

Thanks,

I just saw someone post about this same issue. It may have been over on a Facebook group. If I remember correctly they used soapy water and a toothbrush and it came off but Im not 100% positive. If I can find the post I will get back with you.

I've never found a way to get it clean. The closest I came was using a shout wipe but it didn't help much.

I've been told dishwashing liquid and a toothbrush.

Thanks for all the replies. I will try the diswashing liquid and toothbrush.

In the past I've made an excellent stain-busting solution by added 1/2 a tablespoon of both Dawn dish soap and white vinegar to 1 cup of hot water. Stir together and, using a soft-bristled toothbrush, tap off the excess before gently apply to the stained cloth in small circular motions. Use a soft towel to dry the area a bit before re-applying as needed. Once you're satisfied with the results allow the zipper to completely dry - about 12-24 hours - before using the item again.

If the above suggestions don't work, I believe you can pay to have the zipper area replaced. This is one of the reasons I don't own any azur.

I will definitely try the solution
Does anyone know what causes this?
I love my azur pieces (also have a Favorite MM) !!!
