How to Care for and Clean Your Luxury Aluminum Suitcase

182:

A true premium aluminum suitcase is not meant to remain pristine forever. It is a canvas that records your journeys. Every scratch from a Parisian taxi and every scuff from a Tokyo baggage carousel tells a story. However, maintaining the mechanical integrity and overall cleanliness of your luxury luggage ensures it will perform flawlessly for decades.

Embracing the Patina

185:

Before we discuss cleaning, it's important to understand the nature of aerospace-grade aluminum. Unlike polycarbonate plastics that crack or look cheaply worn over time, aluminum develops a "patina." Small dents and surface scratches are the hallmarks of a well-traveled case. A premium hard shell luggage piece becomes uniquely yours as it ages.

Step-by-Step Shell Cleaning

190:
• Mild Soap: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.
191:
• Wipe Down: Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe down the exterior, removing dust, sticker residue, and light grime.

Maintaining the 360-Degree Wheels and TSA Locks

196:

The moving parts of your suitcase require occasional attention. For the Japanese spinner wheels, use a damp cloth to remove debris or hair from the axles. A quick burst of compressed air can also clear out fine dust. For the TSA-approved combination locks, simply wipe them down with a dry cloth. Never use oil-based lubricants on the locks, as this can attract dirt and jam the mechanism.
