For Hardside Luggage: We recommend using a gentle soap and warm water for rinsing. If you would like to wax the case after cleaning, any good silicone-base automobile or furniture polish will preserve the lustre and add resistance to the covering.For Softside Luggage: We recommend spot cleaning with a mild soap (i.e. dish soap) and water. You can also use a product used for spot removal on clothing, or use a foam type cleaner used to clean car mats or automobile carpets (sold at car parts stores). If the luggage has a strong odour, use a vinegar and water solution. This may take the odour away, but the bag will have to be aired out for a few days.
