Matters needing attention for satchels
Bags and satchels follow people in and out of various occasions. However, many people neglect their hygiene. Some people only wipe the dirt on the surface of leather bags for half a year, and some even never clean them.
A bag that stays with you all day may become a hiding place after being used for a period of time. Bags usually contain items that require frequent access, such as keys, mobile phones, paper towels, etc. These items themselves carry a lot of bacteria and dirt; Some people often put food, books, and newspapers in their bags, and it is also possible to bring dirt into their bags. The sanitary condition on the surface of handbags is even worse because many people, after sitting in public places such as restaurants and stations, casually place their bags on tables, chairs, and windowsills, and when they return home, they throw them on the sofa, which is more likely to become contaminated with bacteria.
Therefore, carry around bags should be cleaned regularly. Nowadays, most people use leather bags, and their surfaces are generally treated with plasticizers and colorants. In the event of organic solvents, they quickly dissolve, resulting in loss of luster and hardening of the leather surface. Therefore, it is best to use a dedicated leather cleaner for cleaning, not only to remove dirt and bacteria, but also to make the leather surface brighter. When dirt is difficult to remove, gently wipe it with a rubber and then apply leather maintenance oil. Dirt at the seams can be removed with an old toothbrush.
As for cleaning the inside of a leather bag, you can turn the cloth out, use a brush to clean the dirt in the side seams, and then dip a soft cloth in a diluted neutral detergent, wring the water dry, and carefully wipe the cloth. After wiping it with a cleaning agent, wipe it again with a dry cloth, and then dry it in a cool and ventilated place. Be careful not to expose it to the sun.
If it's a cloth bag, it's much easier to clean. You can soak it directly in water and wash it with detergent or soap. However, it's important to note that it's best to turn the inside and outside of the bag over and carefully clean it.
Since it is not possible to clean the bag every day, it is important not to put unclean items into the bag at ordinary times. Items that are prone to debris and liquids that are prone to leakage should be tightly packaged before being put into the bag; You should organize the items in your bag once a week and promptly clean any dirt found. In addition, handbags and satchels should not be left unattended. It is best to hang them up.
