check out youtube for bag cleaning tutorials  my only concern would be the colorfastness of the red lining

@catlover7777  That is a nice friend! 😊  Hope it's ok to link this. The purse forum has a Dooney section and the people there are wonderful with giving tips I linked the Dooney rehab thread but you can  search all posts (you dont need to sign up to search&read ). If you find something that works let us know!

If it's that dirty - like she carried her cat in it - - I'd trash it and go to D&B website and look for a new one on sale.

Some friend she is...................I'd choke using it

She should have at least cleaned it before giving it to you. I would start with a lint roller to get as much off the lining as possible, then Lysol spray or wipe. Then check YouTube for more ideas.

I spray the inside with upholstery cleaner a little at a time and work it in with an old toothbrush.   Let the bag dry overnight for about 24 hours, then vacuum.  Repeat if necessary.

Go to the Dooney website, type cleaning in the search bar.  You get the cleaning instructions for all their fabrications and leathers.
