Also, applying a protectant may help too. I have used fine sandpaper to clean my nubuck hiking boots, but not a handbag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-clean-a-nubuck-bag#post-2216862 Tue, 17 Aug 2021 16:48:03 +0000 Angie 2216862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suede and Nubuck are hard to clean.

You can also use sandpaper!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-clean-a-nubuck-bag#post-2216824 Tue, 17 Aug 2021 14:09:02 +0000 JAileen 2216824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it were a vintage Coach I would suggest washing it. &nbsp;I’ve done that many times. &nbsp;However, newer bags sometimes have cardboard in their construction. &nbsp;I might try an art eraser. &nbsp;Not Mr Clean. &nbsp;A soft art eraser. &nbsp;Try it on a hidden part to make sure it doesn’t wreck it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-clean-a-nubuck-bag#post-2216821 Tue, 17 Aug 2021 13:50:45 +0000 Roxanna 2216821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,<br />I have this Rebecca Minkoff bag that I love, that is the perfect size and shade of blue for my palette. It gets a lot of wear in summer and is starting to show the grime after a couple of years. Any idea on how to clean? I tried moist wipes and a damp cloth and leather cleaner - nada. I don't want to pay for professional cleaning since I could probably get a new bag at that price, any ideas? Arrgh nubuck! </p>
