How do you clean a light blue vinyl purse that has grease like marks around the edges?

Question

I have a baby blue coach vinyl purse. over the years a grease like residue has formed around the stitching and leather areas. i have tried to use warm water with mild soap and a bristle brush but it hasnt worked. I am not sure how to clean it and have no idea what the residue/stains are - i just know that they are heavily soiled and look like grease.

Answer 1

Try leather cleaner, or any product that is safe to use on fabrics (spray and wash or shout). Stay away from bleaches, and possibly anything containing citrus. Good luck!

Answer 2

I like "goof off" or "goo be gone."  They are at your nearest hardware store.  Watch out-  it has a really strong smell.  Also test this on a hidden spot to make sure it is colorfast.

Answer 3

You could try concentrated orange cleaner, neat and leave on a while before scrubbing gently with a fine bristled nail brush. You should not need to treat as in leather if its vinyl .  The orange cleaner smells lovely and fresh and its probably what your goo cleaner is mostly made of anyway . Orange cleaner concentrate is available at cleaning supplies shops - not usually the supermarket. You can use it for a multitude of cleaning solutions as a concentrate or diluted - its marvellous for getting off sticky things, grease and for most general cleaning so you can save money on all of those cleaners

Answer 4

try spraying on some 409 and use a soft bristled brush or what about some stain remover like spray&wash???good luck!
