well i think that i need to clean them more often than i do - but i try to at least clean them 1x per year. i have found that they get really grungy and dirty quickly here in the city from the dust from the street, but i'm always afraid that i'm going to ruin them by using the wrong product

I guess I should clean the outside more often since purses supposedly pick up so many germs (although I try to avoid putting my purse on the floor at all costs)

Are you serious? These are the options? I clean out my handbags at least twice a week.

well, I replace my handbag pretty much every month (I'm an eBay gal, so I buy my handbags online, use them until I get sick of it and am craving something new, and then sell it and get a new one), so I never really have to clean the outside, but I do regularly (like weekly) clean out and re-organize the inside since it gets dirty and trash-y and receipt-y haha etc...

i clean the insides all the time, at least once a week. But I've been wondering how to properly clean my latest soft leather brown bag. I bought some really dark denim and the some of the stain rubbed off onto my bag. help?

Pretty often, I hate when there's a lot of clutter and receipts and stuff inside my bag. I have little zip pouchs inside for my cosmetics and for pens/pencils, so I don't usually get any stains or anything on the fabric.

I am constantly cleaning mine, not because they are really dirty but I like to change them out so much and I can't stand to put them back in their dust bags dirty. Yes, I keep all of my expensive bags in their dust bags when they are "taking a break" (as my husband would call it), is that weird?

I clean mine every week. In my opinion, not cleaning them is just disgusting. There are germs and dirt on everything (even if you can't see it) and bags need to be cleaned just like everything else.

I have 3 expensive leather bags that I clean and use some leather lotion at least twice a year. I have a bunch of less expensive ones that I don't really take care of as much.

It varies by bag for me. My Pliage bag gets a good washing every couple of months, because its fabric, but my leather bags only get a leather conditioning once every year. The insides of all of my bags are wiped out every few weeks when they start to show wear.

uuummmm... I clean my bags each time I switch them out- is that odd?

I have to do it at least every other day. It's always full of receipts, pens and notepads that I keep taking from the office, gum wrappers, a ton of loose change, hair brush, tissue and water bottle. I could never find anything in there. It's really bad.

I carry the same seat-belt bag every day. I've carried it going on two years. It's probably time to send it in for cleaning again soon. My boyfriend sent it in for me once and it came back shiny and new! I don't know how I survive without it when it's gone though!
