How to clean a polyurethane handbag?

boogaloop · 2015-05-11 11:31:25

Just bought a gorgeous clutch bag at a charity shop, but it needs a bit of cleaning. Label says 100% polyurethane external, internal is polyester (lining). I was going to start with a baby wipe, see how that goes but if that doesn't work, could I use a suede cleaner or what would be best please? It's a 3 colour block bag…

It's a 3 colour block bag so I dont want to ruin it!

TIA

A damp cloth sounds like the best option given that it's plastic. See here for some suggestions.

Thanks for the reply. I tried damp cloth & then put a tiny amount of hand sanitizer (which contains alcohol), which seems to have done the trick

I'd be very careful with alcohol and plastics - alcohol can cause melting in plastics. Stick to simple soap and a damp cloth
