How to Get Stains out of a Vera Bradley Purse

Gently blot the stain with water as soon as it occurs. This keeps the stain moist and allows you more time to apply the proper stain remover.

Remove all items and any hard sections in the purse, including the bottom piece used to keep the purse upright.

Apply a stain remover using the applicator that comes with the product. Choose one that is specifically recommend for use with cloth and colors, avoiding one that contains bleach. This will keep the colors on your purse pure and bright after the stain treatment. Follow the directions on the product and allow the purse to sit for the recommended time prior to washing.

Set your washer on delicate, and place only the purse in the machine. A machine without an oscillator is preferable because it will clean your purse gently. Add a small amount of color-safe detergent to the washer, and run the complete cycle using cool water. If you have a purse not part of Vera Bradley's signature collection, skip this step to avoid damaging the purse's other embellishments.

Place your purse on a flat surface to dry fully. Do not use the dryer to ensure the purse will not shrink.
