Just curious how many of you clean your bags regularly? This my pre-loved Saleya, which I bought several years ago. It was yellowing and the checks faded in spots, the zipper was sticky and the leather scuffed.
I cleaned it up as best I could and try to keep it that way by doing a little spa treatment about twice a year, especially after spring and summer rotation.
First I pull the lining out to spot clean with soap or Folex, then I use a whitening shampoo from the pet store and apply to the canvas with a soft brush and wipe down with cotton rags. I then add a rich, leather conditioner to the vachetta, Brasso on the hardware and use wax paper on the zipper teeth for very smooth gliding action.
Would love to know what others do and see photos!
