Happy Holidays! Using my Neo today. A few days ago, I saw a small stain in the front (to the right of “TPF” near the bottom). Don’t know how I got my bag dirty but when I tried to clean it with a wet paper towel with a little soap, the stain got bigger. Any ideas how I can get rid of it? Or I do need to buy a new bag? Lol. Thanks.

Happy Holidays! Is yours a gray Neo? I've owned a bilberry, navy and a black neo before. Only the black withstood stains the best. For both navy and bilberry, I found as soon as a stain or even a water stain got on it, it worsens when I try to clean it. It happened to my mum's navy Neo crossbody as well. I can see some specks on my new black Neo bucket bag but I've come to just accept it and let it be if it does not brush off.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, this is the gray Neo I got last year that I use sparingly. I am a little bummed that it has a stain but I guess it’s not too bad since the color kinda hides it a little. The outlet SA said I can use a toothbrush to clean my bags when I told her I worry about dirt and color transfer on light color LP. That’s why I thought a little water would help.... guess not, lol. Thanks again for your help :smile:. Happy New Year! And btw, I like your cute holiday avatar.

I recently had a large greasy looking spot on the bottom of my gray Neo (I noticed after returning from the supermarket and my bag was sitting in the basket). Here is a pic of my bag after I cleaned the area, and it’s completely gone. (I was so frantic when I saw it I didn’t think of taking a before pic). I dampened a small towel and put a couple small drops of Dawn on the towel. I lightly rubbed the greasy area in a circular motion for 2-3 minutes, I dampened the other end of the towel with cold water only and wiped the area to remove any soap residue, I got a dry towel and rubbed the area for about 2 minutes. I lay my bag flat for a couple days, and now the large spot is gone, I can’t even tell it was there. Hope this helps. I read somewhere a while back about using Dawn to remove stains on fabric and nylon, so I decided to give it a try on my Neo. Btw, the greasy spot was about the size of a dollar bill.

I love the grey but for fear of having water stains stay forever on the bag, I've limited myself to only owing black from the Neo line. The Neo fabric is different from the LP fabric. I guess that's why it reacts differently? I understood how you felt. Both me and my mum were bummed when the stains just wouldn't clean off. My mum is one that hardly changes out of her handbag and yet after two years, she asked me to rehome her bag so that she can get another.
Thank you! I have a soft spot for snowmen, marshmallows and a hot cuppa so this avatar is all that I adore. Happy New Year to you too! May 2020 bring you even more joyful adventures!

Thank you so much for this info :). I will buy some Dawn and try this. Maybe there is hope for this bag and I don’t need to buy a new Neo, lol.

Sorry I didn’t think to take the before pic, but I was so upset, and immediately tried to remove the stain because it looked like my bag was ruined. Even when I used the water only to remove any Dawn soap residue, it was a huge wet area that I thought would leave a ring after it dried. Which is why I wiped the area harder with a dry towel. I was afraid the stain might not come off if I let it set too long. I hope it works for you!!!! Btw, don’t wet the towel heavily with water, just dampen it. Please let me know.

Thank you kindly for outlining the steps so thoroughly— I really appreciate it. I didn’t dry it properly after my little attempt to clean it last time so I will make a note of it. I will try to buy Dawn and clean it before the New Year and let you know. Thanks again :). And thanks to @frenziedhandbag for replying and sharing too :)
