I've never had to deal with cleaning this type of thing, but I've used magic eraser on many a thing that wouldn't come clean any other way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1654010 Mon, 02 May 2016 21:31:15 +0000 rabbit 1654010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>be cautious with the acetone, as like alcohol (but stronger) it can lift the white dye too -- but it might just be the thing for lacey bits. &nbsp; Also with magic erasers just a note to anyone else (doesn't apply to your bag) that I'd test them first on any surface with shine or sheen, as I'm pretty sure they are gently abrasive and will wear down a surface finish -- they work really well on cleaning the sides of white rubber soles though, I'll say that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1654005 Mon, 02 May 2016 21:23:39 +0000 Anonymous 1654005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad that progress is being made. &nbsp;Between you and me, I would &nbsp;cry if dye transferred to one of my purses. &nbsp;Try the dry eraser again. &nbsp;I was shocked when it got hair dye out of my wood cabinet. &nbsp;Shocked!! &nbsp;It take some time and some work. &nbsp;Wear gloves, if you need to protect your hands. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1653987 Mon, 02 May 2016 20:46:30 +0000 old chic 1653987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, today I tried wipes first -- absolutely no results! It might be that I used a cosmetic-remover wipe. Perhaps it didn't have enough alcohol? (Maybe I'd feel better about my poor white purse if I drank more alcohol so I'd forget about it? ;)<br />But then I got some extra strength magic eraser and gave it a good rub. I actually think it removed at least 50% of the problem. I am going to let it rest for an hour and then maybe give it another hearty swipe. Only problem so far is that I may be allergic to the eraser. My hands are stinging like crazy.<br />I may also try a teensy bit of acetone nail polish remover on a q-tip for remaining pinkness, which is more concentrated on the lacings that protrude and reb a bit and thus got the most transferred dye.<br />I'll keep you light-leather-loving ladies posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1653746 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:10:06 +0000 Ginger 1653746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: using wipes. Alcohol will lift dye, so it's a good and easy one to try. Just be careful the white does not come off as well. Try in a hidden area first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1653618 Mon, 02 May 2016 02:03:59 +0000 Missey 1653618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try using baby wipes. Inexpensive unscented ones.

I found the Purse Forum, in particular Coach Rehab and Rescue Club thread to be an invaluable resource. I checked there for color transfer, and someone reported getting color transfer out with Apple Leather Care. Another person said she conditioned all light color bags to prevent color transfer with Blackrock Leather N Rich. I have not used Apple Leather Care, but lots of people rave about it. I use Blackrock Leather N Rich on all of my bags, after they are already clean. I bought Blackrock from a western store when my shoe repair stopped carrying it. It's fabulous stuff.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Wax-Free-Leather-Preservative-Conditioner/dp/B00B6F88N4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1462142447&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=apple+leather+conditioner" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Wa.....onditioner</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_fb_0_11?url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;field-keywords=blackrock+leather+%27n%27+rich&#038;sprefix=Blackrock+l%2Cstripbooks%2C259" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb.....ooks%2C259</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1653374 Sun, 01 May 2016 13:12:10 +0000 Anonymous 1653374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Old Chic -- could you please post again when you have solved this problem. &nbsp;I would be interested in what you found to be the solution. &nbsp;Best wishes. &nbsp;It is a gorgeous purse. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1653246 Sun, 01 May 2016 01:03:32 +0000 Jane 1653246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel for you.

Virtualy impossible to remove a set stain in porous material unless its a protein stain and generally hydrogen peroxide will remove that type stain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1652874 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 01:04:55 +0000 Mochi 1652874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has always had her pristine white bags.

I kept the bag because I love it and the stain was on the inside next to my body. A few months ago I ran across an article that said nail polish remove can sometimes work, but you have to be really careful to test it in a hidden spot because it can remove the dye. I tried it on a hidden area, no problem and then hit the stain with it. Just a little of it on a Q-tip and had to rub back and forth quite a bit, but it took the stain almost completely out with no damage to the dye.&nbsp;The&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>So try if you like, at your own risk...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1652761 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:35:35 +0000 Carla 1652761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had success with wet wipes on white leather that picked up blue from my jeans. I think it was the alcohol on the formulation. It lifted a little colour, but then I conditioned the leather after. I'm happy with results. My bag was new, too, but not spendy so I didn't mind DIY. Lesson learned about transfer. :-(</p> <p>Test a small spot first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1652760 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:28:16 +0000 lindalu 1652760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe baking soda and water?&nbsp; Sorry...

It was a pretty expensive bag, so it'd be worth a bit if they could fix it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1652755 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:19:16 +0000 rabbit 1652755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would talk to a professional leather cleaner. &nbsp;I think they are relatively expensive (like 30$ to clean a bag if I remember), but you don't want to accidentally do anything that helps set in the stain more, and it seems like you have tried the logical things. &nbsp;Best of luck!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-ruined-my-new-white-saddle-bag#post-1652752 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:15:30 +0000 old chic 1652752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just received this pretty white pebbled leather saddle bag as a birthday gift, and I have ruined it already. I carried it over a years-old red smooth-knit jacket, which I never thought would bleed color as it has never done so before. Now I have pinkish discoloration over the top and top back of the purse, especially on the "laces." I am just gutted. (I know, first-world problem.)</p> <p>I tried cool water with mild soap. No help. Then cornstarch to absorb the pink. Nope. Then light brushing with white toothpaste. Nah. Does anybody here have experience with getting color off white leather? Is there a special product? Or is my next step finding a professional leather cleaner? </p>
