Well, removing bronze finish fake bag isn’t as easy as it may seem. My best friend recently purchased a bronze finish fake bag that she was so excited to show off. Someone must’ve tipped her off that it wasn’t a real bag because she was desperate to get rid of it quickly! After doing a bit of research, I realized that there was a few different ways to go about it.
I told her the best way to remove the bronze finish was to try an acetone or nail polish remover. She was so amazed that I knew what to do and joked that I was like her very own ‘MacGyver’.
So, she grabbed a cloth and cotton swab and got to work following my instructions – drenching the swab in acetone and dabbing the cloth on the bronze finish. And, voila! The bronze finish started to rub off!
She couldn’t thank me enough for my help. This was yet another moment when I saved the day. I felt so accomplished that I could help her with something like this. Then again, she always looks to me to help her with anything she needs and it’s become second nature to me now.
She stuck with acetone to the end, and not a single minute of the process was wasted. She was a true star, grinding it out until that bronze finish was completely gone. After nearly half an hour of elbow grease and sweaty brows, she held the fake bag in her hands, smiling with satisfaction.
We went from the depths of despair to the pinnacle of success in no time. All of this was just a testament to the power of determination. But even better, it was confirmation that with a bit of perseverance and elbow grease, you can get the job done.
Next, we had to remove the adhesive that was left from the bronze finish. We were cautious because we didn’t want to damage the bag in the process. So, after a few Google searches, we decided to try using a vinegar and baking soda mixture.
First, we mixed 1/2 cup of baking soda with 1/4 cup of vinegar to make a paste-like solution. We used this solution to coat the bag where the bronze finish had been – rubbing gently and in a circular motion until the adhesive started to dissolve. We also lightly brushed the fake bag with an old, soft-bristled toothbrush to make sure we weren’t missing any spots.
My friend praised my help and thought this method was a miracle. After a few minutes of scrubbing and scraping, the adhesive was completely gone and the bag looked fantastic! It was like a brand new bag!
Now that we had conquered the removal of the bronze finish, it was time to consider how to protect her new-found treasure. I told her the best method to protect her bag was to wax it. We found some quality furniture wax and using clean cloths, we waxed the bag until it was shiny and waterproof. Every once in a while, she needs to wax the bag in order to keep the faux leather looking new.
Since then, my friend felt more confident when it came to caring for her fake bag. We discussed the importance of understanding the type of fabric and the materials it is made of. Knowing the fabric type can help to determine the proper care for the bag. Moreover, the right care can go a long way in protecting a bag for many years to come.
Then, we talked about the other cleaning products she could use like saddle soap, nubuck cleaner, or a pH neutral leather cleaner. We agreed that it was necessary to have the correct cleaning supplies on hand before attempting any job.
We also discussed the importance of keeping the bag stored in a moisture-free environment if possible. If not, then it should be covered with a cotton or linen cloth. Additionally, if the bag gets wet, we decided that it should be wiped off with a damp cloth and left to dry on its own.
We concluded with the fact that fake bags need just as much love and care as a real bag. Taking the time to properly clean the product can go a long way in sustaining its life and retaining its value. It may take a bit of effort to remove the bronze finish, but it is worth it in the end.
