Tote bags truly are a girl’s best friend — especially in the summer. You can throw anything in there from your lunch to your beach essentials, while still keeping enough room for the wine you’re bound to pick up on your way home from work.
We’re especially ub-sessed with our fun Trina Turk tote which is available in the the FabFitFun Summer Box — this tote was exclusively designed for FabFitFun, so you def don’t want to miss out.
But what happens when the tote needs some cleanin’? Here are some methods we use to keep our totes fresh, cute, and ready for the next adventure!
Dump Everything
And we mean everything! Flip the tote inside out, and get out that spare change, those old receipts, and any other bits and pieces that are lurking in your bag. Take this time to declutter — it might be the perfect time to downsize your lip gloss collection that you’ve been hoarding in your tote.
Grab Your Lint Roller
This trick is our go-to for getting rid of any crumbs or sand that’s remaining your beach trip. It will snag the little guys without forcing you to pull out your vacuum.
Flip It
If your tote bag is starting to smell, flip it inside out and let it sit outside in the sun for a few hours to let the scent fade away. You can also rub a laundry detergent sheet on the inside of your bag to keep it smellin’ fresh.
Spot Clean
Did your bag suffer a spill or get a little dirty? Instead of dousing the bag in water (which could cause major bleeding!), spot clean with a little bit of your favorite detergent and water, or grab a Tide to Go Instant Stain Remover. Let it dry and you’re good to go for your next outing!
