About once or twice a year you need to handwash your leather handbag to ward off germs and get rid of stains and marks.
Start by emptying the bag, disposing of any rubbish and wiping anything you want to keep with antibacterial wipes (this could include your purse, headphones, lipsticks and other items you regularly cart around).
Always follow the care instructions for your handbag before cleaning it because some materials require specific products.
