This really got bad after her husband died. The vet suggested they ( she and preteen son) get another dog . The son got a very big lizard instead. It did not help and was mostly in a large terrarium with a light for warmth. JAleen your “wild dogs” look so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-cleaning-a-white-leather-bag#post-2196323 Wed, 19 May 2021 15:04:01 +0000 JAileen 2196323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star, your dogs were beautiful. &nbsp;Terriers are notorious for digging. &nbsp;I warn people who walk on our back lawn to look out for holes. So even if we go out for a walk in the wild (the picture was taken in a national wildlife preserve), they will take every opportunity to dig.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-cleaning-a-white-leather-bag#post-2196299 Wed, 19 May 2021 12:24:08 +0000 Star (Lise) 2196299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou</b>, your Margot is adorable, I have seen pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-cleaning-a-white-leather-bag#post-2196298 Wed, 19 May 2021 12:18:01 +0000 Bijou 2196298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star, that is a great bag and your dogs were beautiful.

Then wipe with another damp clean cloth and polish with neutral shoe polish. I do this to clean my white shoes and it works rather well.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-cleaning-a-white-leather-bag#post-2196196 Tue, 18 May 2021 14:54:01 +0000 Star (Lise) 2196196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>FI</b>, I don't.&nbsp; It is a very sturdy leather that does not have a softness to it, and I never saw a need.&nbsp; I do have clear polish I treat my leather boots with maybe I should give that a try.&nbsp; Thanks for that thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-cleaning-a-white-leather-bag#post-2196188 Tue, 18 May 2021 14:12:46 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2196188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you condition it regularly? The oil/grease/fat you use for that can usually be used to clean leather too, if you work it a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tips-for-cleaning-a-white-leather-bag#post-2196187 Tue, 18 May 2021 14:00:25 +0000 Star (Lise) 2196187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers</p> <p>Below are pics of my beloved white bag that I have had for approx. 15 years.&nbsp; It is a Michelangelo hand-made Italian bag.&nbsp; I won it in a Magazine Giveaway in South Africa.&nbsp; Can you believe my luck?&nbsp; I mostly use it in Spring, as I prefer material bags in Summer, and darker bags in Winter, so it has really kept itself quite pristine.&nbsp; However now I notice some yellowing around the zippers.&nbsp; I know I can google some fixes but am reluctant to do so in case I ruin it.&nbsp; Right now it is certainly not unusable I would just like to perk it up a bit.&nbsp; Does anyone have any tried and tested safe ways to clean white leather.&nbsp; I am not able to get my hands on all products in the US so if you have tips that involve 'regular' household products rather than specific whitening brands I would love it if you can share them with me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
