Does anyone know how to clean Louis Vuitton Epi leather?
I have a yellow LV Epi leather agenda and a ripped-out magazine page got stuck to the back of it! The ink from the ad stained the backside and I’m so upset about it. I just got that thing! I’m hoping one of you knows how to clean this type of leather. help please!
You have what is known as dye transfer.
You need a strong detergent cleaner like Maxi Cleaner to try to remove this. (Maxi Cleaner was developed especially for this problem) The dye will have gone into the finish on the leather and the deeper it has gone the harder it will be to remove.
Please do not use solvents or hairspray on this as it may make matters much worse and alcohol may damage the finish.
If Maxi Cleaner does not work then no other cleaner will and you will need to call a qualified leather technician.
A good leather technician will have the proper products to do this and he may have to replace finish and pigment so it is best left to him/her to do.
A good leather protector (not conditioner) will inhibit this kind of thing happening again.
Use Lazy Leather as an ongoing maintenance cleaner
