Cleaning and Maintenance Focus of the Suitcase

For people who often go abroad, a suitcase is a necessary application. Whenever they come back from a long trip, the suitcase is as worn-out as people's. Even if you are careful on the way, it is unlikely that the suitcase is completely clean. In the process of consignment at the airport, it is also common for many people to stick stickers on the surface of the suitcase. Because of this, the maintenance and cleaning of the suitcase have become an important task before the next trip!

Usually, you can see the relevant information about the box material on the tag or manual of the suitcase, and some will even indicate the use precautions, cleaning methods, maintenance information, etc.

Classification of suitcase

Generally, there are two categories of travel cases: hard cases and soft cases. Common hard cases include ABS, PP, PC, thermoplastic composite materials, and other materials. They have the advantages of wear resistance, impact resistance, water resistance, compression resistance, and high temperature resistance and are more suitable for long-distance travel. As for the softbox, it contains nylon, canvas, leather, and other materials. It is light in weight and strong in toughness, but it is less waterproof, crash-resistant, and compression resistant. It is more suitable for short trips.

Cleaning

Smudge

Generally, for cleaning, the hard box can be wiped with a dry cloth dipped in a neutral detergent to remove stains, and then the soft cloth can be used to wipe the surface dry. The softbox can be cleaned with a glue roller brush, vacuum cleaner, and other tools, or wiped with a damp cloth dipped in neutral detergent. When cleaning, scrub along the texture of the fabric surface gently to avoid fuzzing. If the suitcase is made of EVA material, you can use a brush to brush off the dust on the surface, and stubborn dirt can be lightly wiped with a little degreasing oil.

Sticker
