   I have recently bought a cream handbag which has a section of Nubuck leather. It has got a bit grubby (not too bad yet) and I am wondering how I can clean it. Any ideas please?

	The leather and nubuck will need cleaning differently as you cannot 'wet' clean nubuck without possible damage. On Nubuck 'dry' cleaning methods need to be employed so we use a napping brush to raise the pile and a Nubuck Cloth (like A tack cloth) to do the actual cleaning. The leather section needs a good quality protector to protect it against dye transfer and general dirt etc. you can then use Lazy Leather as a general maintenance cleaner. The nubuck area can be protected with Waterstop and this could be used as a protector on the leather as well if you do not want to purchase too many products. Waterstop is an excellent nubuck and suede protector and has stood up extremely well in tests. Try this handbag kit and nubuck kit these will take care of this and any other handbags you may have. Hope this helps
