How To Clean Michael Kors Purse

Michael Kors sells a wide variety of high-quality leather goods, including purses. Most people have a leather Michael Kors handbag, but they also make cloth models that are readily available

How To Clean Leather Michael Kors Purse

What You Will Need:

* This guide also works exceptionally well for cloth Michael Kors purses

Step 1: Prepare Clean Surface Area

Before it’s time to strip the grime off of your MK purse, you must prepare a clean place to work. Simply find a flat area such as a table, lay a clean towel down, and have all your supplies nearby.

Step 2: Remove Everything From The Purse

Remove all items from the interior of the purse, and set them aside to be cleaned later if need be. If there are any added chains or clip-ons on the exterior of the purse, remove those now as well.

Step 3: Identify Targeted Cleaning Areas

As a purse owner, you know the ins and outs of your purse very well. Identify which areas need to be cleaned first to keep the dirt and grime from spreading.
There are often many dirty spots on the bottom of the purse that needs immediate attention.

Step 4: Remove Dust and Dirt

Use a damp microfiber cloth to rub down the interior and exterior of the purse. This removes the first layer of dirt and dust particles so that you can target deeper stains later on.

If there is lots of dirt or dust, consider using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Be careful to not apply too much pressure on the leather as it can easily scratch

Step 5: Remove Heavy Dirt and Oils

Mix a leather soap with water to prepare a cleaning solution. Once the solution is made, get a microfiber towel damp and begin to wipe both the interior and exterior of the leather handbag.
Make sure to lift any folds on the interior of the bag, hit all pockets and crevices, as well as straps on the exterior. Once the whole bag has been wiped down, it will be clean.

Step 6: Let The Bag Dry

Before moving on to protecting the Michael Kors leather, it is vital that the bag dries completely.
A simple way to do this is to place the bag upside down on a towel with it often. The purse should take less than 1 hour to dry.

Step 7: Protect The Leather

To keep your Michael Kors purse looking mint for years to come, use Michael Kors Rain & Stain Protector. To apply, spray the exterior of the bag, including the straps, and massage the liquid in small circles with a microfiber cloth.

Much like the name suggests, this product will protect your MK purse from rain/water damage as well as deter stain building. There are also other leather cleaner options linked here.

Leather Repair Instructions:

Step 1: Massage the Scratches With Cream

Apply a dime size amount of leather cream to each scratch on your Michael Kors purse. Using a microfiber cloth, rub the cream into the scratched areas until they are very faint or completely gone.

After the cream has sat, wipe the excess off and prepare for the next step.

Step 2: Seal the Scratches In

Apply a thin layer of clear nail polish onto the scratched area. This will fill the scratched area and make it disappear, or at the minimum hard to notice.
For the best results, do this on a bag that has a natural sheen as the glossy nail polish will blend in.

Scratch repair is a reality of owning any luxury handbag. Performing this step every few months or after the purse sees heavy use is a good idea.
