How to Clean the Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bag Interior: My personal experience.

When I purchased the Louis Vuitton Neverfull for the first time I felt like I was on cloud 9. Possessing such a bag emblematized one as a new member of the elite fashion club; a right of passage, if you will. The decision to choose the Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM was because it was the largest size that allowed for all the important items to fit in the handbag and remain fashionable. However, as much as I loved it, I guessed it was going to get dirty, more especially the inside part because it was going to be used daily. Therefore, I started a procedure of how to clean the inside part of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull and was amazed that it was not as hard as I thought.

The First Time I Realized That Everything Is a Mess

On one hand, I said that there was a variety of items and accessories that would spoil the inside of my bag after a few months of use. In it, there were leftovers from biscuits, traces from lipstick, and a small stain from a pen that had been accidentally tipped over at the edge. At first, I panicked. This was my Louis Vuitton Midnight Fuchsia Neverfull – before I ruined it through improper cleaning, I thought I wouldn’t be able to clean the interior of the bag so it wasn’t very difficult to figure it out. Here I want to tell you about how easy it is to clean the inside of this legendary bag and make it look new for many years.

What You’ll Need

However, before proceeding with the cleaning process it is necessary to collect all the necessary things together. It‘s not very complex – but it does require a few household items as well as two specific products. Here’s what I found worked best for cleaning the Louis Vuitton Neverfull Interior: Here’s what I found worked best for cleaning the Louis Vuitton Neverfull interior:

A soft microfiber cloth – This is ideal in case you don’t want to spoil the interior lining of the bag.

Wear and stain remover (gentle soap or baby soap) – This is very appropriate in spot imbibing that is severe but not abrasive.

Soft brush – This kind of brush is useful in areas that the other brushes cannot reach such as corners.

A vacuum cleaner which has a small nozzle – To capture granules of food and dirt.

This is a fabric cleaner, or a leather cleaner, in case the bag interior is made of leather, plus the straps are also leather-lined.

Baking soda – To deal with the smell within the bag.

Now that you have all your tools and materials, allow me to explain the step-by-step process of how I clean the inside of my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM.

First Step: The bag must be ‘Empty’, that is, it should be ‘Empty’ and not have anything inside it at all.

The first thing to be done is to empty the whole of the bag in question all the contents that it holds. It is so versatile that I use it for everything from a makeup pouch to a tiffin carrier, to a school bag that I usually have to transfer whatever is inside the bag before wiping. Don’t forget to look into each of the pockets and seams to ensure that no small things are left in them.

After that is done, I shake the bag gently so that what has settled at the bottom of the bag rises to its top. Cleaning the room is necessary as you will be shocked at how much dust and small particles will have built up.

Step 2: Vacuum the Interior Empty all the trash cans, tables, the trunk of the car, and any other place that could contain food crumbs or other filth that is difficult to wash off.

The other thing that I do after beating the area is vacuuming the loose particles by use of a vacuum cleaner with a small nozzle. One must be very careful and gentle at this stage as one doesn’t want to pull the lining of the bag apart. Choosing the interior of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull must be made according to the type of the model; most of them have canvas or microfiber. In my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM, the lining is made out of soft strip fabric so l ensure I don’t apply excess pressure on the nozzle against the lining.

The use of the vacuum eliminates most of the crumbs and small particles that may be on the bottom of the bag and sets up the interior for further cleaning.

Step 3: Spot Clean Stains

Moving on, I take my time to deal with any kind of marks that may be visible on the floor. This was so helpful for me in particular as there were a few smudges with makeup and there was small ink marks as well. For this step, I have a solution that is made of mild soap and warm water, prefer using baby shampoo.

Here’s what I do:

Soak the microfiber cloth with the soapy water solution that you prepared earlier.

Do not scrub the stained areas because rubbing may push the stain deeper into the fabric fibers hence making it hard to remove.

In case the stain is hard to remove, I use a soft-bristled brush to mildly brush the fabric in circular motions that are circular.

I remember using this method was very effective in dealing with the light stains and smudges on my Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM. Surprisingly the fabric is quite robust and using the proper method it is possible to remove almost anything with little trouble.

Dealing with Odors Step Four People will always be conscious of the smell of food they are preparing to cook or that is being cooked before them. Well, if you are a heavy user of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull, like me, using it to carry snacks gym wear, and other items, you will realize that it begins to smell off. Don’t worry! There are quite several remedies but one of the easiest to try is baking soda.

Here’s my easy trick:

Take a large quantity of baking soda and pour it into the inside of the bag.

Allow it to stand overnight, or for as long as 24 hours, to allow it to rid itself of odor.

The next day, vacuum out the baking soda and your bag should smell as fresh as before. This method is natural and safe for the interior of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM. Also, it doesn’t dry any residue or chemicals that may affect the bag unfavorably.

Step 5: Condition the Leather (If Applicable)

Although the interior of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull is predominantly made of fabric some of it might contain leather trims or pockets, especially for the GM model. Cleaning the fabric should be done, and after doing it, it is recommended that the leather parts be conditioned, for them to remain flexible.

For the leather parts, I recommend a specialized leather conditioner that you apply sparingly on a soft cloth and then rub it over the handbag’s leather parts. This method averts cracking and gives the leather products a royal or more of a royal look.

Step 6: After rinsing the chemical with water let the bag air dry.

To remove the stains I use spot cleaning and deodorizing it; thereafter, for the final cleaning, I allow my Louis Vuitton Neverfull to dry. I leave it in a particular room to dry and I make sure it is not exposed to the raw sun so that it may dry uniformly. You would not want to make a mistake at this stage by using a hairdryer or any source of heat as this will only end up in the warping of the fabric or leather. The clothes and everything in my bag are fresh and clean all in readiness for the next day by morning.

Step 7: Maintain Regularly

Here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way to keep the interior looking new: Here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way to keep the interior looking new:

Use a bag insert: This makes the inside of the bag to be neat and clean because anything that falls during usage will be contained. It’s especially useful if you carry snacks, makeup or pens. A little enhancement to the handbags is the straps that are adjustable and come with buckles.
