Alright, let’s talk about this here Chanel canvas tote. You know, the one you spent a whole lotta money on, even though I told you it was just a fancy sack. But hey, it’s your money, not mine. Now, you gotta keep it clean, or else what’s the point, right?
First off, don’t go throwing it in the washing machine like you do with my old aprons. No, no, no. This thing needs special care, or so they say. I mean, it’s just a bag, but alright. You gotta wash it by hand, like we used to wash clothes down by the creek, remember? But instead of that harsh soap we used, get yourself some gentle stuff, the kind they use on babies, I guess. Or, if you don’t have that fancy stuff, someone told me you could use that talcum powder, the stuff you put on your behind in the summer to stop the sticking. Yeah, that stuff, or even that cornstarch stuff you use for cooking. Who knew, right?
- Hand Washin’ is Best: Like I said, don’t even think about that washing machine. Just a little bit of that gentle soap or powder, and some warm water. Not hot, mind you, just warm. Like the water you use to wash your face in the morning.
- Gentle, Gentle: Don’t scrub it hard like you’re trying to get mud off your boots. Be gentle, like you’re petting a newborn kitten. Use a soft, white towel, and make sure it’s clean. You don’t want to make it dirtier now, do ya? Wipe it real nice, and then let it dry all by itself. Don’t go throwing it in the dryer, or it’ll shrink up like my old wool sweater.
Now, some folks say you can just wipe it down with a dry cloth, you know, like those fancy cloths they sell for cleaning eyeglasses. I guess that works too, if it ain’t too dirty. Just make sure it’s a soft cloth, you don’t want to scratch up that fancy name on the front. And whatever you do, don’t get the leather parts wet. Leather and water, they don’t mix. It’ll get all stiff and crackly, like my old hands in the winter.
This here Chanel tweed stuff, it’s tough, they say. But you still gotta be careful. Don’t let it get caught on nothin’, like a fence or a doorknob, or you’ll be sorry. You’ll have threads pullin’ out all over the place, and then it’ll look like a dog’s been chewin’ on it. And nobody wants that, especially after spending all that money.
And for goodness sake, don’t stuff it full like you’re packin’ for a month-long trip. It’ll lose its shape, and then it’ll look like a saggy old feed sack. Just put in what you need, and leave the rest at home. It’s a purse, not a suitcase, ya hear?
So, there you have it. That’s how you keep that fancy Chanel bag of yours lookin’ nice. It ain’t rocket science, but it takes a little effort. But hey, if you spend that much money on a bag, I guess you gotta take care of it. Me? I’ll stick to my old trusty market bag. It holds just as much, and I don’t have to worry about gettin’ it dirty.
Now, if you got some real tough stains or somethin’, I don’t know what to tell ya. Maybe go ask one of them fancy bag stores, they might know. Or just live with it, it adds character, right? Like the wrinkles on my face, each one tells a story. But then again, your bag ain’t your face, is it? So go get it cleaned, if you gotta.
Remember, keep it clean, keep it shaped nice, and don’t overfill it. That’s the secret to keepin’ that Chanel lookin’ good as new. Now, go on and show off that fancy bag of yours, but don’t go braggin’ too much, alright? Nobody likes a bragger. And if you ever need to borrow my market bag, you know where to find me. It ain’t fancy, but it gets the job done.
And another thing, if you really wanna know somethin’ more about that canvas tote, go ask someone who knows. I just told you what I know, which ain’t much. I’m good at growin’ tomatoes and mendin’ clothes, not takin’ care of fancy bags. But I reckon if you treat it nice and don’t abuse it, it’ll last you a long time. Just like a good pair of work boots, if you take care of them, they’ll take care of you.
So, there it is, all I know about keepin’ that Chanel tote clean. Now go on, and for heaven’s sake, be careful with it!
