How do you care for your Airways?

How do you clean luggage made from ABS, polypropylene, polycarbonate or aluminium?
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 stains

How do you clean luggage made of Leather?
If you would buy luggage bags made of leather, it is best to buy those that are made from high-quality leather material. This is because low-quality leathers used in luggage bags will manifest easy wear. Thus, exposing them to water and moisture will definitely expedite its wear and tear.

Never use solutions that are usually treated on nylon-based or polyester-based materials. Even if these solutions initiate resistance on water, stain, and dirt, it may create some chemical reactions on the leather and will only destroy its natural look.

How do you clean luggage made of ballistic nylon (soft case)?
If you were able to buy a luggage bag made of ballistic nylon, you can be sure that stains, dirt, and water will be kept away from wearing your bag. Hence, cleaning your luggage bag with water would be safe and easy.

Try to use gentle soap or those that do not have very harsh chemicals. This will ensure that the chemicals that were usually found on soaps will not create a destructive reaction.

Never drench your Airways.
This refers to the solid accessories that go with the bags. For instance, one type of hardware are the edges. These are used to protect the surface and the frames of the luggage bags. The other types of hardware are the straps, handles, zippers, and the locks.

In caring for the hardware, it is best to remember that using oil on hinges, handles, or locks will only cause more harm than good. This is because the presence of oil on these kinds of hardware will only initiate leaks that will lead to the clothes or the inside layer of the bag.

Use solutions that will restore water-resistant attributes.
After cleaning luggage bags made of polyester or nylon, it is best to use some chemical solutions that will bring back the resistance property of luggage bags against water, stains, and dirt.

The bottom line is that caring for your luggage bags will definitely ensure you of a hard wearing storage space for your stuffs when traveling. That would make you and your luggage bags travel together for a thousand steps.
