" I have an off-white canvas bag that I use as a purse. I love it, but it is getting dingy looking and has some stains. How can I clean it? -- Nora Cavic, Dudley, MA I love those canvas bags, too. They&amp;#039;re handy for carrying all kinds of stuff! I accumulate so many as giveaways that once a year I pass them on to charitable groups. As durable as these bags are, they require special attention when cleaning. Never submerge one in water: If there&amp;#039;s dye on the handles (or on the bag itself), it can bleed and stain the canvas; water will also cause the fabric to lose its shape. Instead, try spot cleaning your bag with a damp sponge and a detergent designated for hand laundering fine washables. Blot the stains but do not rub them, then air-dry.
