Different bag materials are affected differently by dirt and oils, especially leather. The bag appears to have lost structural integrity and shows significant surface damage. Leather is natural and absorbs moisture easily. Therefore, it absorbs environmental oils and skin oils and accumulates airborne dirt, leading to permanent damage.
Regular cleaning by a professional bag-cleaning agency in Dubai helps maintain your bag.
Leather Bags
Oils from lotions and sebum from skin transfer to leather and settle in corners, making the bag dark and sticky. Additionally, dirt and grit attach themselves to the surface and act like sandpaper, scratching it. The natural glow of the leather gradually dulls. Using harsh cleaners can strip the bag of its natural oils or even cause excessive buildup, both of which can cause leather fibres to weaken. The bag, as a result, stretches, sags, and even cracks. Specific leathers display certain vulnerabilities. For instance, suede is susceptible to stains, and oils can cause permanent marks that are hard to remove. Clemence becomes dull due to the accumulation of grime in the grain, and lambskin flakes faster due to dry environmental factors. Oils cause oxidation when left on leather and leave a sticky, greasy residue, which can be extremely challenging to eliminate.
Other Materials
When you look at other materials such as canvas and cloth, they are vulnerable to dirt buildup and even prone to staining. If leather bags have embellishments or hardware, dirt and oil can tarnish them, causing green oxidation. Nylon and polyester bags can also get dirty due to oil and get stained. Cotton, jute, and denim react just like canvas to oil and dirt. Denim absorbs all liquids, including oil, lotions, grease, and more, causing fading, fibre deterioration, and loss of shape.
Taking Care
Whatever the material, bags must be cleaned regularly. The surface must be wiped down with a microfibre cloth with special attention paid to handles and corners. You must avoid harsh household cleaners, alcohol, and similar products, as they can disrupt the bag’s pH balance. Prevent oversaturation and apply a specialized conditioner to leather bags to help extend their lifespan. Bags made of canvas and cloth must be placed in breathable cotton bags to prevent surface oils from turning into mould.
