So now I am going to mention some of the safest methods that you can try to keep your MK handbags pristine. Without wasting much time, let’s get started!

Doing a Light Cleaning

This is a method you need to learn for regular maintenance of your designer handbags. If you follow this procedure, you can keep it shiny as long as you want!

Start Wiping

Now it is time for you to start wiping the whole bag. You can divide the entire purse into several portions and start to clean it part by part. In this way, a section won’t get dried when you are doing another one.

Hang the Purse

Choose a well-ventilated area in your house and hang your purse there. When it is fully dry, you can start using it again.

Doing a Deep Cleaning

Sometimes we get stubborn stains or spots in our bags, and this method will help you to get rid of them!

If there are any stubborn spots or stains, you can dab a little more than usual. Or you can But never use any brutal or aggressive motion as it can damage your purse pretty easily. And you don’t want that, trust me!

Get Rid of the Soap

Now it is time to get rid of the soapy solution from the surface of your purse. Rinse your damp microfiber cloth thoroughly, and then wipe the whole bag. You can repeat the process twice or thrice to ensure no soap residue is left on the fabric.

Remove the Moisture

To get rid of the excess moisture, you have to take a dry cloth and then wipe the whole bag with it. In this way, you can make sure that there isn’t any extra water particle and there will be no musty odor.

Let it Dry

When you are done with the cleaning procedure, you can let it air dry. Always ensure that it is perfectly dried, or else it will get damaged in no time!
