Wet cloth
One of the simplest and easiest solutions to clean your leather bag is a wet cloth. Gently rub this stain into the bag or go over the entire surface to remove dust and dirt.
Just make sure to use lukewarm water and avoid using soap or detergent as they can sometimes cause damage to the leather.
Steam
Another alternative is steam cleaning. This is a great way to remove any dirt, dust or stubborn stains from the leather while softening and protecting it. All you need is a steam cleaner and some distilled water.

Avoid alcohol
Alcohol and general cleaning products containing ethanol should be avoided for cleaning the leather bag.
The biggest disadvantage is that ethanol dries out the skin causing it to peel or crack over time. It can also discolor the bag, or damage the finish as well as the protective layer of the leather.
