The handbag cleaning hacks you should know

Do you have old, dirty bags that cannot be hand washed? No matter how many times you try to clean them up, there is still dirt buildup inside them?

If these sound familiar, then we've got some great hacks to share with you!

Instagram user Juliana Claire has gone viral on the social media platform after she shared her "must-have" Amazon find that she claimed has helped her clean debris from inside her handbag.

So, how does it work?

The $18 Clean Ball is designed to remove dust, dirt and crumbs from the bottom of dirty bags, featuring a sticky exterior that helps catch debris.

The golf ball-sized gadget allows you to clean the insides of your bag by simply rolling it around the bottom.

Additionally, all you need to do to reuse the ball is to wash it under the tap.

It's that easy!

In the video, Rebag’s Ina demonstrates how to dry clean your handbag using accessible cleaning equipment.

The first step she recommends is to clean the interior by removing all the items inside it and shaking all the debris.

Next, she advises using a suede brush or a microfibre cloth to gently brush any remaining dirt, dust, and crumbs inside the bag.

“We recommend cleaning the interior once every couple of weeks,” she says.

Then she says that you should thoroughly clean the exterior using a microfibre cloth before wiping it with unscented baby wipes or leather wipes.

She explains: "Most leather, even lambskin, can withstand this as long as you don't rub too hard, and you dry it off after your microfibre cloth after."

Lastly, Ina advises treating the overexposed areas of the bag routinely.

"This normally includes the base, corners, and the handles which are affected by the oils on your skin," she explains.

Ina said that you just need to follow the last step but you should do this routine daily in order to keep your bag looking new.
