If your bag has begun to collect dirt and smudges, you should take a proactive approach – but don’t forget to check the manufacturer’s recommendations before doing anything drastic.

Begin by emptying the contents of the bag and wiping the inside with a soft, dry cloth. Most stylish laptop bags can handle a careful mixture of liquid soap and distilled water, but only apply it to the bag sparingly. If you’re working with a sponge, make sure it’s barely wet before touching it to the bag. Wipe the leather exterior with a damp rag and dry almost immediately with a towel. Think about the process of buffing a car to bring out its desired shine – cleaning a bag is very similar.
