HOW TO CLEAN Your Chloe (lining, pen marks, stains)

[maxx]

Today I unfortunately spilled hot fudge all over the inside of my paddy! How do I get it out? Please help!

 

[lordguinny]

Yikes! Did you get the majority of it out? Maybe you can turn it inside out and gently rub it with a wet cloth? I would take it to a professional shop to have it cleaned because you have to careful about not ruining the external leather.

 

[Sweetie]

Did it soak through to the leather? Only thing I can suggest is wipe, not rub, it out with cloth. Oh gosh.

 

[maxx]

No it didn't spread through to the letter- it's not that much, but it looks ugly. The lining has some brown spotches from the fudge. I tried to wipe it with a cloth inside but it only made it worse!

I have an original tan paddy that is a couple of years old. It has a bit of dirt on the bottom. Has anyone tried to clean their paddy's == especially the original tan color?

Hey. I need help cleaning my cream paddy, its gotten really dirty, does anyone have any advice on how to clean it?

I have no idea what to do, so i thought id come and ask on here

Good Q, I could do with some help here too.

I've tried some expensive leather cream designed specifically for bags and there was still a little colour transfer..mine's whiskey.
I was very gentle too, used only a soft, clean cloth and a minimum amount of cream.

I wonder if it's because mine's had some previous leather damage to a particular area though?

What products have you used, if any, lulilu?

Baby Wipes
It works a treat on light marks and stains! Do not worry if the area around it seems to go dark when cleaning, because there is so few chemicals in a baby wipe, it will dry just fine. Its always worked for me

 

[lulilu]

I've tried the baby wipes. I feel as if it looks worse.

 

[chicky]

Thanks chloe-babe, i will try that - i'll let you know if it works!!

 

[Ellay]

Definitely take it to be professionally cleaned!

Oh my! Be very wary of prof cleaners as the leather can often shrink- I had that happen to a favorite jacket once.

I have to ask- how??

There is an interesting site lovinmybags.com that refurbishes handbags that I heard about on the balenciaga forum...perhaps this could help out for the Chloe's.

 

[lulilu]

I asked this same question re my tan paddy. I tried baby wipes but they didn't really help.

 

[Rockerchic]

there is a great site called lovinmybags.com that some of the bbag PFers have used with great results. I am not sure what it would cost, but I'm sure Barbara could give you an estimate. Probably worth it for such a pricey item!
