The colorful and whimsical purses, handbags, and totes by Vera Bradley are lovely to kook at and fabulous to carry. But the quilted fabric from which they are constructed can soil easily and become dingy looking over time. Fortunately, most stains and spots can be easily cleaned without damaging the fabric. To learn how to clean your Vera Bradley bag, read on!
Empty bag and remove baseboard: Many Vera Bradley bags have a stiff piece of cardboard inside the bottom lining so that the bags maintains its shape. This is called the baseboard. In larger bags, such as totes, the lined baseboard is completely removable. In smaller bags, the baseboard can be slipped out of one end of the lining. Before you machine wash the bag, remove the baseboard and set aside.
Turn bag inside out and brush lightly: The insides of purses can accumulate small bits and pieces over time. To remove these before laundering, turn the bag inside out and gently brush the fabric with a soft-bristled brush. (I like to use a baby brush.)
Spot treat any large stains: Inspect the inside and outside of the bag for any dark stains. cartier eyeglasses Spray these lightly with a gentle laundry spot remover (I like the Dreft brand). Try to avoid saturating the fabric. If the baseboard lining has any large stains, spray the spot treatment onto a washcloth and then lightly dab the stain. The stains may not be completely removable, but their appearance should lighten.
Machine wash on gentle: Set your washing machine to the gentle cycle and launder your bag using cold water. (This will keep the colors bright.)
Ordinary laundry detergent generally works fine for Vera bags. If the bag is heavily soiled, add non-chlorine bleach to the water.
Allow bag to air dry: After the wash cycle is complete, re-shape the bag and hang over a clothes hanger. Allow the bag to air dry thoroughly before reinserting the baseboard. handbags outlet If the fabric feels stiff, pop it in the dryer for 3-4 minutes on low.
