vacuumed, scrubbed it per you instructions ... even had to washed it, omg the color dust is unbearable even after drying as much as it hurt I went outside to beat it like a old rug sooooo much blue dust I still don't know how to get rid of it -it just keeps on coming off. so warning for anyone taking on this project... you might want to wear gloves and a mask im still blowing the blue ick out of my nose and throat. please be warned. Lucy if you have any other recommendations please advise its everywhere!

Hi, yes it can get everywhere, depending on the severity of the bag. In this video I am wearing gloves. I also wear a mask when it’s really bad. Vacuuming and using a damp cloth is very effective and time consuming. In my other video where I use a vacuum, I advise it can get everywhere. Some bags are worse than others. But it will eventually all come out if you keep at it. Good luck! 😊

Thank you so much for your video. I started with the vacuum cleaner on my bamboo handled Gucci bag bought in the 90s. I got the surface off but then had to resort to washing and scrubbing with Fairy Liquid (UK washing up liquid) and Woolite (UK wool soap) - a drubbing brush, a nail brush and a toothbrush. It was impossible to keep the soft leather bag out of the water entirely, I rinsed and massaged and brushed and now have a fabric liner but HERES THE QUESTION .. still a few specks of black on the fabric lining. Is it ok to leave these (the water eventually ran clear) or more scrubbing I’m so thrilled at the prospect of using that bag again!!! My lining was incredibly moist like tar - the brush nozzle couldn’t cope. Thanks again. It only took a couple of hours and I threw away the brushes, table cloth etc they were really tarry (and I’m sure when I bought it I loved the beautiful leather interior … little did I know!!!).

Yes, your bag is from the Tom Ford era and it’s extremely sticky tar-like lining. With my bamboo bag, I had no other option but to wash it. I conditioned the leather afterwards. It’s been 3 years later and the bag is still in amazing condition. The tiny specks is still part of the sticky lining. Try using a wet/damp cloth to get those last specks off then vacuum. Should all come off and you’ll be able to use your bag once again 😊

Hello, it’s water, you can also add white vinegar into the water

what if the inside is leather and it's all cracked? would this method work or not? cuz it seems like this bag, the inside is more of a cloth material

Hello, this will not work with cracked leather. Unfortunately, the only way to repair cracked interior leather is to completely replace it with a cobbler.
