I didn't treat it before wearing it, was too inpatient I guess.</p> <p>I will try some of your suggestions and see what happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93870 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:58:30 +0000 cciele 93870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please do not use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on your bag! It can be pretty rough on a bag, depending on the leather and dye. You can try the Magic Rub eraser (white eraser sold at art stores) on marks. Also, Lexol makes a leather cleaner that is very effective.</p> <p>Oh, also -- did you pretreat the bag before your wore it?</p> <p>Good luck Tanya! Your poor bag </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93869 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:55:01 +0000 yublocka 93869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boo Tanya, not good. Sound like you have some good options here to fix. But can I ask, how does hairspray work against stains??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93805 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:39:25 +0000 Maya 93805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Ele, I think it's inevitable that it will attract dirt, and stains, but that shouldn't stop you from loving it! I'm not sure if hairspray would work for a dye transfer. I just know it works for pen ink. Personally I would take it to a cobbler or leather specialty shop and see if they have any advice on how to remove the stain and prevent future ones as much as possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93802 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:34:51 +0000 taylor 93802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Booooo!</p> <p>Might want to get on the phone with a shoe repair...they know everything about leather , and how to remove stains from leather.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93791 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:09:10 +0000 Louise 93791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hairspray definatly works on biro not sure about stains, when i got denim stains on my pleather bag i used these<br /> <a href="http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/sainsburys-price-comparison/Insect_Killers_And_Shoe_Care/Kiwi_Quick_n_Clean_Shoe_Wipes_10.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk.....es_10.html</a><br /> Wipped the stain off a treat not sure whether it would work on leather but it says on the packet they are suitable for all materials except suede and nubuck x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93782 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:23:42 +0000 Anonymous 93782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, as Joy said, the Magic Eraser is a wonderful cleaning tool. I just used it to rub away the tarnish on silver jewelry the other day and was once again happy that I have Magic Eraser in my cabinet. I think it is made by Mr. Clean and it takes off the most stubborn marks. You can cut a small piece and use it until it is almost gone.<br /> The hairspray might work too, and you probably already have that in your cabinet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93769 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:05:10 +0000 Anonymous 93769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awful! The hair spray definitely works on ink of all kinds, so hopefully will work on dye. You might also try Magic Eraser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93768 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:04:54 +0000 Ele 93768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Tanya, I'm sorry. That really sucks. Hopefully you can get it off somehow... </p> <p>Although, I hate to break it to you, but your lovely Kooba WILL get dirty from time to time. It's the price you have to pay for having a light-coloured bag; just clean it the best you can and move on. Don't let worrying about keeping your bag clean stop you from enjoying it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93765 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:00:13 +0000 rute 93765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. I do understand you.. It happen the same to me with a camel bag, that's why I prefer darker bags, they last longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93759 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:51:53 +0000 Angie 93759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH NO! I’m so sorry,Tanya. I could spit. I wonder if hairspray will help? Maya…… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urghh#post-93754 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:33:53 +0000 Tanya 93754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carried my new cream Kooba bag from the other thread yesterday for the first time, and was super careful not to wear any of my very dark denim with it to avoid color rubbing onto the bag. What happened? The color from my purple sweater rubbed onto it!</p> <p>I now have to go look for some of those products suggested on the original thread to try to clean it. It seems that when yo try really hard to avoid something that is exactly what happens. Sorry for my rambling, I just needed to vent. </p>
