Cleaning techniques for Canvas

[mommysie]

hi ladies!

I recently saw that my st louis pm (in black) had some part on it which seemed "discolored." It was at the lower part where my bag probably rubs on my waist. At first, i thought the black paint was rubbing off on the white paint but when i started to wipe the discolored part with a wet tissue, the dirt came off. It's still not 100% as white as the top part but it's not that discolored anymore.

How do you ladies clean your canvas?

Also, i'm going to south east asia where it's very hot and humid... do you discourage me bringing the bag? as the paint might rub off or something?

thanks so much!!!

Not sure about humidity, but I clean my bags by wiping them with a damp cloth.

I'm from Southeast Asia... had no issues with paint rubbing off due to our weather here. So far so good...

Damp cloth. Don't use anything else, or anything containing any form of alcohol.

Are the wipes gentle enough.

My son spilled some sauce INTO my St. Louis one time, and I used baby wipes to clean it and let it dry. Voila! No stain!

I also have a black St. Louis and I actually wash it in the sink with mild soap and light scrubbing (I use a face towel). Then I pat it dry, and just let it hang by the doorknob overnight to let it dry some more. No problems with my cleaning so far.
