60s beaded purses stained

[stainedglass]

Hi all, I can't stop admiring this small collection of beaded Made in Hong Kong purses and wallets I found with my grandmas stuff. She owned a storage company and often brought home unclaimed and unpaid for storage. These were from storage and thrown into a closet. I'm just afraid about the stains on each piece. Most of them have small brown stains on the back and I have no idea what it is. Do you think there's a fix, or am I out of luck? It'd be such a shame not to be able to fix these. Thanks.

It's common for these sorts of purses to have stains and I haven't found a solution yet, sorry. Often the marks have soaked into the multiple layers of fabric and are hard to get out as you can't soak them and any cleaning is likely to damage them.

I have had *some* success with Folex... carefully daubing it with a Q Tip very gently. But it depends on the type of stain, the fabric, etc. Some success but not all. ; (

I'll look into Folex, Thanks Cinthia : )

You're welcome. I like it for a lot of spot cleaning. Just make sure to test for color fastness first.
