    I have a 2 yr old Titleist bag that has a few brown spots on the white areas of the bag.  The bag is made of some type of nylon fabric or polyethylene.  I suspect the spots are from hiding out under a tree during the rain.  My guess is that these spots are basically sap or tree droppings and have created these stains.  The red and black colors on the bag do not show any signs of the spots, only the white.  I love the bag, it is very sharp looking and would hate to ruin it by cleaning it wrong.  I searched the forums looking for a solution but to no avail.  Anyone have any suggestions for bringing back the nice bright white?

    If not, I guess that gives me an excuse to get a new staff bag!  Thanks in advance!

    Chris, I don't know if this will help ...I had the same issue, drove me nuts ( I am so meticulous about my equipment) . I actually pre soaked the spot with "Resolve" then I used a mild soap and water solution.  It came up ok but has never quite looked the same .  You can still see the once bright white has a dullness to it.  I wish I had tried an enzyme cleaner instead. 

    Good Luck

    Paul ... thanks for sharing your experience.  It drives me nuts too.

    I bought some Oxyclean powder and mixed up a fairly thick paste.  I wet the entire white area of the affected part of the bag and mixed up some Oxyclean to the consistency of paste.  I applied the paste directly to the spots and let sit for about 10 mins.  After the 10 mins, I blotted off the Oxyclean with a water soaked white towel.  When I thought I had removed the initial coating of paste, I then mixed up a spray solution of the Oxyclean and sprayed the entire area of white hoping that this would help blend the white better.  After several wet towel rinses, I let the bag dry over night.  The next morning the stains were gone and the entire white area that I worked on was bright white again!  YES!

    I tried not to get the Oxyclean on either the black or red as I did not know what would happen.  This seemed to work very well on this material and now I am comfortable with cleaning the rest of the white areas of the bag.  It definitely took some time but it appears to be well worth it.  I may also apply 3M Scotch Guard to the bag when I get it all cleaned and maybe this will help prevent this from happening again.  It worked for me!

    Chris, What a Great Idea on the Oxyclean !  I never even gave it a thought and I have both the powder and the spray.  I am going to try it tonight and see how it works.  So Thank You for the tip.  Appreciate the conversation.
