How to remove hand sanitiser stains from your bag

2020 is the year of toilet paper and hand sanitiser. One of the two is severely harmful to your luxury leather goods; any guess at which one it is?

Assuming you answered hand sanitiser, you’re correct! Antibacterial hand sanitiser is a necessity in the current climate to have on hands at all times. Whether you’re running to the market, work, or for a night out, the new norm includes excessively scrubbing our hands with sanitiser. 

While we like to think we had good hygiene prior, it was not an assumed item in your handbag. 

We often chuck items in our bags without a second thought, but that normally included our wallets, keys, and other items that aren’t at risk of spillage. 

Sadly, hand sanitisers contain alcohol which can damage your luxury leather goods. The alcohol removes the colour and causes damage to the finish on leather and coated canvas. 

While sanitiser may protect your health, Bagsamoré is protecting the health of your luxury bags. 

If your bag has already been victimized by your hand sanitiser, Bagsamoré offers services to remove those stains. Regardless of the size, severity or colour of the stain, we pride ourselves on tailoring the treatment to your bag specifically.
