@TheScottCottage Hi Dear. I apologize for butting in, but, I have a question. Can I Clean my Coach Barrett Sneakers using your method in this video? I have a Pair of Old Blue Coach Denim Jaquard print sneaks that really need a good deep Cleaning. Any help is appreciated. Thank you Kindly 😊 💓
I watched enough of the movie to get the gist of it, and then I washed my bag with a little Dawn (as Coach suggested). It came out beautifully and is now hanging up to dry. There's a lot of white on my bag and but I had very little scrubbing to do after the soaking. I am so thrilled. Thank you! BTW, I also bought mine from a thrift year a few years ago. I tried cleaning with all sorts of thing during this time but never thought of washing it.
I clean and repair bags too,great job on cleaning them. To get ink stains out try hairspray.when I wash them I spray a little hairspray on the fabric where the stain is and scrub it with spray wash and rinse with water.
I have tried hairspray before on the item dry and it did not work really. Maybe I’ll try again as I am cleaning. Thanks so much for the tip!! I would love to learn more about repairing bags
@@TheScottCottage,the hairspray works when the fabric is wet and it has to be the airasol kind. What else would you like to know about repairs? For touch ups on leather I moisturize the bag 1st with leather lotion and if the paint needs retouched up than I use angelus leather paint. Alot of the things that you need to do repairs can be found in walmart.I use tear mender,fabric tack,kiwi leather shoe dye,kiwi or cadillac leather lotion,micro fiber cloth and other things
Thank you for the detailed information. I just followed your directions and cleaned mine and it came out perfectly! It had leather trim too. I used Shout as my cleaner.
I just got a knock off leather coach purse from the thrift store today and it’s adorable. I can’t wait to start using it, but it’s reaaaaally dirty on the inside, like she had carried rocks around and had snacks loose inside it. How do I clean the fabric inside without damaging the leather outside ? I’m really afraid to soak it and have the leather dry out, it’s not like these bags, it’s entirely soft leather on the outside. It only turns partially inside out, too
I just cleaned my first Coach bag last week. I actually had issues of the brown leather at the top bleeding a little into the fabric, I showed it in my haul video. I didn't intend on getting the leather wet but it did a little. I used Oxi clean spray. It isn't too bad but def didn't notice it happened until after it dried. I wish I would have had before and after pictures bc even with the slight bleeding it was a THOUSAND times better. Have you ever had trouble with the bleeding? If so were you able to get it out?
No I don’t think I have had that happen. Just where the oxyclean discolored the leather as I show. Clearly oxyclean and leather can not be crossed lol. Sorry I don’t know how to fix that. Only thing I would know to try is soaking it like I did my bags. If it doesn’t work you didn’t loose anything 🤷🏼♀️
Also, if there is some bleeding I would recommend soaking it a second time in warm water. The bleeding is just a surface stain in my experience and it should come out with a second soaking. I hope this helps!
This is so satisfying to watch! Love how easy it was to clean up. Out of ALLLLLLL the bags you have seen, and I bet it’s been lots, what’s your pick for the most durable bags? Most durable leather and fabric bags if you don’t mind sharing your opinion. TFS! ❤️
I unfortunately don’t come across luxury bags (Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci etc) but I am partial to a few brands. I love Coach because they are usually easy to clean up and make new again. They also have a big following on Poshmark and I have no trouble selling them. I don’t make a HUGE profit on Coach but if my cost per item is low enough, it’s worth my time to clean them. I also love Dooney, Kate Spade and Michael Kors. They all sell well for me and I love the satisfaction of cleaning them up. I actually have a few Kates and Dooneys to list right now.
@@TheScottCottage thank you! That’s great information. I sold two coaches, a Kipling, and a Portland Leather Goods bag ALL in the last 4 days. Hoot! I’d love to be a professional handbag restorer. That would be awesome. 💕
I probably wouldn’t personally. The navy will bleed onto the white. What you can try is using COLD water to saturate the spots and clean that way. I wouldn’t soak it and if the white part is the lining try to pull it out of the bag just to keep it away from the navy. Otherwise it’s going to bleed while drying. Hope this helps!
This was very interesting. But ihave a canvas tote bag with leather trim. A coke exploded in my tote bag 😱, but when I washed it the leather color ran and stained the canvas everywhere it attached to the bag. I don't know how to fix that. Ideas?
This can happen. Mine didn’t because it is all pink. If the trim is a different color, especially lighter than the bag, I suggest using cold water. In order to fix the problem the only thing I know to try is to try to soak just the leather straps in warm water and see if some of that will bleed out
Those are a little tricky for sure. If you can soak it with some soap of some kind and then try to clean it with a soft bristle brush (nail brushes work great and toothbrushes as well) Other than that you just have to do your best. Just disclose that the I side has some marks/stains and sell as is if you can’t clean it. A lot of people don’t care about the inside as much 😉
I just cleaned one purse like that. I mixed some oxi clean in a small bow, then I applied some oxi with a tooth brush, left it for 10 minutes and came used more wet toothbrush with the oxi water and scrubbed the whole thing, after that, I used a white wet old towel, wiped the lining, rinsed it, clean again, then rinsed it again in a way of trying to get the oxi clean residue as much as a could. I don’t know if that makes sense!? But the key is the soaking part, 10 minutes will do it! ✨
Yea I agree! You cold soak a bag only without any cleaner and alot of the stains and marks will come out! Amazing what a little bit of water can do. :)
I have an authentic LV bag, speedy 30 off white, can i do the same process as you did it on the coach bag? I appreciate your reply, thank you so much in advance for your informative videos.
I will be the one who spot treats diligently, then places bag in large zippered mesh lingerie envelope, toss on delicate cycle, cold water wash with Dawn, liquid Tide. I love Scott’s tip: stuff bag while air drying with reusable plastic grocery bags, to maintain shape. 😎
Have you restored a Coach Poppy with the gold leaf straps? I have one I adore but the gold leaf on the straps has worn, I'm unsure how to tackle that restoration.
I have not but I know what you are referring to. I would keep those straps out of the water best you can. Possibly wrap with saran wrap and packing tape possibly?
@@TheScottCottage Thanks for the reply. So far I have not found a good way to restore the handles. The bag itself looks great after a through cleaning though.
What do you do if the colors are complete opposite? I have a sateen cream background with black graffiti and fuchsia poppy flowers sporadically about the “black and white” graffiti. Inside is bright fuchsia. Could so easily bleed into the cream background. Will cold water with a drop of oxy and no friction be enough to not have a heartache on my hands??
Yea that can be very tricky. Can the liner inside the bag pull out and away from the rest of the bag? If so I would suggest trying to clean the liner separately. If that isn’t feasible, yes possibly cold water, cleaner and a little elbow grease may be your only option.
Absolutely. But if you only set it in one spot it may leave a “water mark.” I clean my leather bags by soaking them in arm water. It helps if the bag (or whatever item you have) has water spots to make them disappear. I actually have some leather “Toms” boots that have water spots. I plan to clean them soon. Would that be a video of interest maybe? I can show how I clean leather?
@@TheScottCottage the ones on some of my sateen style purses have a metallic type tag. Most of mine are leather. Thanks so much for replying to me and I hope you’re doing well.
I just got a coach purse that was used by a drug addict that threw up in the purse but didn't fully clean it, so it still smells. How can I clean/disinfect it without running it?
Hi Dear, I have a question. Can I Clean my Coach Barrett Sneakers using your method in this video? I have a Pair of Old Blue Coach Denim Jaquard print sneaks that really need a good Cleaning. Any help is appreciated. Thank you Kindly 😊 💓 BTW, That is a Beautiful Bag! Nice job :)
Yes I believe you sure can! And a magic eraser works great on the sole if the soles are white. Gets off almost anything. Good luck and let me know how it goes! :)
All the techniques she described will work on designer sneakers. In addition to trying Magic eraser, the pink stuff miracle paste or spray, works on handbags & your fave tennies❤️Hope this helps. 😊
I have a coach poppy bag it with sequins all over the bag very old from the 90s it was a limited edition Valentine’s Day bag, is that possible to clean.
The lining of the inside of my Coach bag is 100% polyester and is bright red in color (they exterior is firm treated red pebbled leather). I need to clean it but I’m worried about water staining… Is water staining likely to happen even if I don’t completely soak the inside of my bag?
Ohhh thats a tough one. If the lining can pull out from the leather, I would pull that so its inside out. Clean the lining that way so your not risking getting the leather wet. If the lining doesnt come out I would say you would have no other choice but to wet the whole bag. If you were to spot clean the inside it just would be risking water marks on the outside. Best of luck to you! Let me know what you end up doing! I always ask myself "am I going to be upset if I ruin this bag?" If the answer is yes then maybe you should have it professionally cleaned. If no? Then go for it!
hi any idea how to clean a tan Mk Hamilton. some dark liquid seems to have spilled inside and seeped out leaving a dark stain on the sides and bottom. its soft leather. can i wash the bag?
ohhhh man that sounds like a challenge. You could try to hand wash it the way I have done with the Coach bags. But if it has discolored the leather on the outside, I am not confident that will come out. Sending luck your way!
I just let bags air dry. I packed the bags with something to keep the shape as it dried and then I hung it outside on a sunny day. Smell was fine after cleaning!
Help I bought a used coach amd it had what I thought were little orange stains sonic accidentally uses a old toothbrush to clean it bit now all the spots I cleaned are whiter or lighter than the black on black canvas. I tried. Leaning it again. It still see the lighter color? I'm not sure if it's old toothpaste or if I should now clean the entire bag. Do you think the white is Toothpaste or perhaps those spots are now cleaner than the rest of the bag? How would I get Toothpaste out?
Yea I would advise against this because you are right that red will bleed. However if you have nothing to loose may as well try. Like if you got the bag for free or you know it wont sell unless its cleaned, you could give it a try in cold water.
Ok 2 questions. We’re the bags different colors? As I state in the video you don’t want to soak 2 bags together that are different colors for that exact reason. And second question, did you use hot water? Warm water works best as hot water can damage the bag and make a lot of the color come out. I have been using this method on 100+ bags. I have never had the color bleed before. What brand were the bags may I ask? I have cleaned Coach and Dooney bags with the canvas and never had bleeding to where it damages the bags.
TheScottCottage I cleaned the bags individually. They are both my own personal bags that I bought new. (Years ago) The bags both had fuschia leather straps. One is a beige colored op art Ashley with pink leather and the other is a brown signature tote with a big pink leather band around it and pink straps. When it happened to the brown one, I thought mistakenly that it was the inner lining that bled out onto the outside. But then when I did my beige one with a beige interior, it happened with that one too. Also, this was my own personal trial and error, wasn’t led to this method from this video. I just found it while I was searching for a video to try to fix the bleeding. 💕
Ah ok gotcha. Im sorry that happened to you! I have never had a problem with the color bleeding per se. But I have heard that if the lining is a dark color (brown, navy, black) and the outside of the bad is lighter, then there could be a problem there. Because the inside lining may bleed (especially if its the first time the bag has been cleaned). Obviously that color could bleed onto the light part which would not be good! If it were me I would try soaking in cold water first. Some good elbow grease and a brush on the stains and just see what happens. If you notice some color in the water I would rinse immediately. Defiantly a lot of trial and error to find these things out hahah. In your case you way want to try to soak it again in warm water. Since most of the color probably already bleed out it should come off the lighter parts now. Good luck!❤️
No however its important to condition the leather after you soak it. Some leather you do have to be careful. Especially if the color bleeds. But since it was trimmed in leather it was not an issue. :)
I use hot if the bag has no leather and no areas that are lighter that the color can bleed out onto. If there are those areas I will use warm water and just keep an eye on it.

Tip: keep ink pens and pencils in toothbrush holders so the inside of your purses won't get damaged.
Awesome tip!
Do you know how to clean the silk lining of a Interior of a Coach bag without leaving water stains?
Oh gosh I do not know! I am not as familiar with cleaning silk unfortunately. I am sorry! I don't want to tell you something and it ruin the lining!
i love the non popups this vid is great
I finally did this to my coach bags this morning and I can’t believe how gorgeous they are! Thank you SO much for this great content!!!
You are so welcome!

Thank you!!!!! I sold it within a few days of listing ❤️
Dang girl you did a great job cleaning up that bag! Love the pink one!! 😎
Thanks love. It sold pretty quickly 😉
Thankfully, I noticed the oxy clean wasn't a good idea to use soon enough to avoid any permanent damage. Wish I watched this first.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing!

Looked so much better. Can you do a video of cleaning a leather bag? I have a few I've got in my money pile that I'm not sure how to clean. 😁
I thought about doing one as well! Thanks for the idea. I will put it on my list of videos to film 😉
*I feel like the only person who’s gonna add a little more detergent.*
😄
Great video! Can you use the same technique with a navy and white buffalo plaid canvas bag?
I probably wouldn’t personally. The navy will bleed onto the white. What you can try is using COLD water to saturate the spots and clean that way. I wouldn’t soak it and if the white part is the lining try to pull it out of the bag just to keep it away from the navy. Otherwise it’s going to bleed while drying. Hope this helps!

I have a coach poppy bag it with sequins all over the bag very old from the 90s it was a limited edition Valentine’s Day bag, is that possible to clean.
I would think so just wont be able to scrub it with the sequins. A good soak in warm/hot water with some oxyclean or detergent should do the trick!
How about using Zote spot remover?
Oh I have never heard of this, do tell more? I love learning new cleaners
It looks like a bar of soap just rub it hard all over the purse and on the stains hard then wash it in the washing machine on gentle warm air dry
WoW
Thanks
Have you done this technique with Gucci canvas?
I probably would take a Gucci bag to a cleaner to be 100% positive. This technique works but Coach and Gucci are not created equal lol

It is a nail brush actually! They can be found anywhere even the dollar tree :)
Have you ever washed a juicy couture bag?? I need help
No I have not. It really depends on the fabric. Is it leather or a different fabric?
@@TheScottCottage juicy bags are usually velour
Help I bought a used coach amd it had what I thought were little orange stains sonic accidentally uses a old toothbrush to clean it bit now all the spots I cleaned are whiter or lighter than the black on black canvas.

Personally I would reclean the entire bag. It sounds like you got those sections cleaner than everywhere else.
What if my bag is red leather and a lighter color brocade? Would I still soak it or would the red leather bleed onto the brocade/material?
Yea I would advise against this because you are right that red will bleed. However if you have nothing to loose may as well try. Like if you got the bag for free or you know it wont sell unless its cleaned, you could give it a try in cold water.
Do you clean other's personal bags for a fee?
I have never thought about that but no I haven’t. Not a bad idea though lol
@@TheScottCottage they might sue you. Have them sign a waiver!!
After washing and the bag started to have bubbles how do you fix it?
What kind of material is the bag? And can you explain the bubbles?
TheScottCottage canvass I think. Like there’s air in between the exterior and interior lining.
Ruined 2 bags cleaning them this way. The color bled everywhere onto the bag.
Ok 2 questions. We’re the bags different colors? As I state in the video you don’t want to soak 2 bags together that are different colors for that exact reason. And second question, did you use hot water? Warm water works best as hot water can damage the bag and make a lot of the color come out. I have been using this method on 100+ bags.

Ah ok gotcha. Im sorry that happened to you! I have never had a problem with the color bleeding per se. But I have heard that if the lining is a dark color (brown, navy, black) and the outside of the bad is lighter, then there could be a problem there. Because the inside lining may bleed (especially if its the first time the bag has been cleaned). Obviously that color could bleed onto the light part which would not be good! If it were me I would try soaking in cold water first. Some good elbow grease and a brush on the stains and just see what happens. If you notice some color in the water I would rinse immediately. Defiantly a lot of trial and error to find these things out hahah. In your case you way want to try to soak it again in warm water. Since most of the color probably already bleed out it should come off the lighter parts now. Good luck!❤️
Part of it is leather right? So submerging it in water didn’t ruin the leather?
No however its important to condition the leather after you soak it. Some leather you do have to be careful. Especially if the color bleeds. But since it was trimmed in leather it was not an issue. :)
Did u use hot 🔥 or cold water
I use hot if the bag has no leather and no areas that are lighter that the color can bleed out onto. If there are those areas I will use warm water and just keep an eye on it.
