Ways to Properly Take Care of Your Handbag 1. Never put your handbag on the floor! There is a whole world of germs and nastiness on the floor, so why place your handbag there? Always try to place your handbag on the back of your chair, on your lap or on a neighboring chair. 2. Handle your handbag with clean hands. You will want to avoid getting dirt, natural oil and grime on your handbag. If not, you will find yourself always cleaning your bag, which leads me to the next tip… 3. Avoid over-cleaning your handbag. A build-up of chemical products will also contribute to the destruction of your bag. 4. All handbags are not created equal. Find out what type of material your handbag is made of because it just may require different instructions to clean and preserve it. 5. Never store your handbag without a cover or inside support! Properly store your handbag in your closet using a purse insert for support and a dust bag cover. Another economical tip is to use tissue paper inside of your handbag to keep the shape and placing your bag inside of a pillowcase to avoid dust. 6. Never store your handbag in plastic or vinyl. This material does not breathe and is moisture resistant – it traps wetness! So using plastic to store your bags just may cause mold. Remember that! 7. Be sure to zip or fasten the handbag and overlap handles on top of it. Leaving handles with heavy hardware to hang on the sides will put added stress on the handbag or may cause tearing. 8. Consider using bag liners. Protect the inside of your handbag from things like spills, especially if you frequently change your bag. 9. Invest in products to help take care of your handbag, i.e. leather protector. Whatever you use, be sure to follow the directions to the letter. 10. Do not wait until the last minute to make repairs to your handbag. If you do, you may cause more bad than good. At the first sign of damage, visit your local seamstress or repair shop depending on what has actually happened.
