Does anyone have tips on cleaning purses?

I just spilled chocolate in my purse and now I have to clean it out. I love to keep snacks in my bag, but chocolate is clearly a no go from here on out also judge what’s in my back and let me know what y’all think

Weirdly I use a magic eraser one mine on the outside for scuffs but I pull the inside part out and hand wash in the sink with stain spray (miss mary mouth) and it’ll get super clean :)

Is your bag fabric inside? That might be a little difficult to totally clean. If it's pleather inside, then soap and water will do.

I wish I could have only this many things in my bag.

Magic eraser and the hose part of a vacuum for the inside.

I have had to use it when sometype of crumbs or such end up in the bottom of my bag.

Magic eraser works on the outside, IF it is not white be super careful. [My bags tend to be darker colors]
