Good day!
need your advice. I have a white leather dress and blue stripes appeared on it, I put it on once, and then I just lay in the closet. I don’t understand where these blue stripes came from. maybe you know some kind of tool that can be cleaned? Tried Vanish bleach, a building rag to remove paint, and nothing worked.
thanks for any advice!

Sorry, slightly off topic but I'd like a whitening agent for undies.

I always soak with Vanish (underwear or socks), it helps.

Lemon juice worked on the arms of a sofa I had, worth a try or a leather cleaner.

I cleaned my GDs leather trainers with bicarbonate of soda on a damp cloth and it worked a treat.

And, Bar Keepers Friend on any stains. Works for me. An excellent all round cleaner.

Soak whites in Napisan. Especially socks and shirts.

I second the use of Napisan. Brilliant for whitening net curtains too.
Does anyone have any tips for keeping white suede trainers clean?
