All bags have been treated inside and out with Scotchguard for fabrics. 
 
Now, this does not mean your bag will be impervious to stains but it will resist most stains.  This will allow you time to spot-clean your bag successfully.
 
The outside of your bag has been hand crocheted.  There are usually multiple fibres combined to create the look and feel of the bag, so be very careful cleaning it. 
 
Crocheted Exterior: 
*  I suggest you use warm (NOT HOT) water and a mild soap or detergent (Woolite).   NEVER use a strong detergent and NEVER use bleach as the fibres and colors will be destroyed.

*  BLOT/DAB at the spot.  
DO NOT RUB at it as this will effect the texture of the fibres and usually makes them "fuzzier" than the fibres around it.

*  Only bags without beading can be dry-cleaned. 
Commercial dry-cleaning is very damaging to this type of fibre and will usually destroy beads.
Most lining materials I use are satins or silks and should be cleaned accordingly.
 
Interior Lining:
*  I suggest you use warm (NOT HOT) water and a mild soap or detergent (Woolite).   NEVER use a strong detergent and NEVER use bleach as the fibres and colors will be destroyed.

*  BLOT/DAB at the spot.  
DO NOT RUB at it as this will effect the texture of the fibres and usually makes them "fuzzier" than the fibres around it.

*  Only bags without linings with glitter can be dry-cleaned.  Commercial dry-cleaning is very damaging to this type of glitter and will usually destroy the glue.
