With germs spreading like wildfire and the world going to meltdown over the current epidemic that we will not mention by name cough cough, we thought it necessary to share a little of our expert knowledge regarding the cleaning and maintenance of our beloved suitcases and bags.
Polycarbonate and Aluminium
Harsh cleaning agents that contain abrasives should be avoided at all cost, so put down that nail polish remover and step away from your suitcase! These nasties fluids may cause damage to that lovely gleaming surface.
Apply a solution of warm water and mild soap to the shell with a soft sponge or soft washcloth
Wash the entire shell and not just the dirty areas (otherwise you may get darker patches)
Finish off by wiping the surface with a damp sponge to get rid of soap residue, followed by a dry cloth to avoid water stain
Polyester
Take a soft-bristled nylon brush or soft damp nylon cloth dipped in warm water
Clean all of your case - not just the dirt marks (to avoid leaving water stains)
Allow the bag to completely dry in a shaded area (away from sunlight)
Leather
Apply the cleaner to a damp cloth and work a section of the bag at a time
Don’t drench the leather with solution or clean the bag all at once
After each section, wipe with a dry cloth to remove any residue
