hi katev

I hope you don't mind me asking this here.

What do you recommend to use on removing stains on light color like bags' bottoms & edges?

Do you know of any leather cleaner that is heavy duty enough to remove stains without affecting the dye?

Also, I will like to know if you had tried apple leather cleaner before?
If so, how does it compares with meltonian, lexol and leather cpr?

I realized that apple leather cleaner is very strong and it kinds of remove the dye; though it does remove some stains from the edges..

I used Apple conditioner without problems. The only cleaners I have tried for removing stains are lexol cleaner, rubbing alcohol, acetone nail polish remover and of course giving it a bath in Ivory dish soap or woolite. I have put bags through the washing machine in desperate situations. I put them in a lingerie bag or tied in a pillow case and use woolite or Leather Therapy's leather wash.

I have never tried Meltonian but I have heard good things about it from others. Good luck!

Hey! I was searching for something else in this thread and found this. Is there any chance that your dark dark navy could be an eggplant purple? I have a tote that is so dark it looks like a cross between blue and black, but in the right light you can tell it's purple. Just curious, and now I want your clutch!

Lovely, I'm going to go get some of that Leather CPR, I have one old bag that's really dry and I tried Lexol and Apple multiple times with no real success. Thanks for sharing!

I will have to get it out and look at it but I was pretty sure it was blue after I cleaned it up.
