My wife collects Burberry purses. I bought her a Candy purse (pink, to us guys) for her birthday in May. Anyways, it is the first Burberry she has received that has a white strap. It is a woven nylon strap that has Burberry embossed on it. It is getting extremely dirty looking. She has only carried it a few times, but I guess setting it down on bar tops is taking its toll quickly.

Can anyone recommend a safe cleaner for the white strap? I will be killed if I mess it up. Thanks.

oxyclean maybe?...

nylon hmm.. one time i spilled carbonated water on my northfaces backpack shoulder strap and i couldnt believe how much dirt came off it. the water turned brown! so im guessing that would work...

Just send it to me, I'll clean it up. And keep it

Bring it to a dry cleaners and see what they suggest.

carbonated water has been the method of choice for flight attendents for years.

Start with the least caustic method first. oxyclean is a concentrated bleach, and while I doubt that it would hurt nylon, it is overkill to try first.

I would start with the carbonated water, after that a mild household cleaner like 409 or something of that nature.

Then I would move up to the enzyme cleaners like Shout or Resolve.

If that didn't work, I would try a mild solvent such as you find in spot rug cleaners.

There are still more steps up the ladder, but by now I would start to question if it is worth it to get out what stain might be left, or leave well enough alone.

What's the purse made out of? I personally would suggest concentrated hydroflouric acid, but then again I'm not much of a professional purse cleaner.
