Lisa asked, “My beaded purse is dirty. How do I clean the beads?”

Cleaning a beaded purse may seem daunting, but with the steps below, you can have your purse restored with ease.

You Will Need:

  • Talcum powder
  • A towel
  • A feather duster
  • A hair dryer

Steps to Clean the Purse:

  1. If you break any of the strings on the purse, it is likely that multiple beads come off.¹ Consider taking a picture of your purse first so that it can be repaired if a string breaks.
  2. Inspect the purse for any fraying bead strings before cleaning and repair the strings if needed.²
  3. Lightly dust the purse with talcum powder. The powder will absorb the dirt.²
  4. Wrap the powdered bag in a towel for 24 hours.²
  5. Gently brush away the powder with a feather duster or a hair dryer on the slowest setting.

Additional Tips and Advice

  • Spot clean the purse with club soda or dry cleaning fluid on a cloth. Dry the area immediately with a hair dryer to avoid water marks.²
  • If a bead strand breaks, consider using dental floss to re-sew the beads so you don’t have to go get specialty jewelry string.³

    I have an old Italian beaded purse. The string is fragile and the binding under the large beads is stiff. I’m afraid beads will come apart. String will break. How do I soften/restore the string? I lost a bead already.
