Luggage. How To Clean Luggage

The places your bags have been to, it's no wonder they've picked up a little grime!

Cotton bags: Sponge with a weak solution of laundry detergent, then dab with clean water.

Leather suitcases: Wipe down with a damp cloth that has been rubbed with a little glycerine soap, then wipe with clean water, but don't get too wet. Apply a proprietary leather nourishing treatment from time to time.

Soft plastic/vinyl bags: Dilute some glass cleaner with water and use to wipe over the bags. Remove stains with laundry detergent in warm water, then rinse and dry.

Hard plastic/vinyl bags: Clean with a mild laundry detergent solution, rinse and dry off with a soft cloth.

Polypropylene suitcases: A squirt of washing-up liquid in warm water is enough to clean hard cases - dry with a soft cloth or kitchen paper.

Always check manufacturer's instructions first. Always try a test patch first. If you are unsure as to whether the item you are cleaning is suitable for our instructions, take professional cleaning advice first.
