First, moisture removal is the top priority.

2. Classify your luggage

3. Clean only the internal debris

1. Removing moisture from your suitcase is the top priority

When you get home, there's one thing you need to do first.

Open all the suitcases.

Zippers and inner pockets are open as much as possible.

If it's left closed...

・Humidity builds up

・Odors move inside

・If it's bad, it can cause mold.

First, open it, whether it's the entrance or a corner of a room.

Title

2. Sort your luggage

It's impossible to tidy up perfectly right after coming home tired.
So here's what I recommend:

・Laundry → Laundry basket

・Food → Kitchen

・Cosmetics and electronic devices → Dresser or table

・Garbage → Throw it away immediately

There's no need to organize things into small categories. Just moving them by category is enough.

Title

3. Quickly vacuum up the dust inside

After traveling, for some reason, sand and small pieces of debris often get stuck in your luggage.

There's no need to try hard here.

・If you have a handheld vacuum cleaner, it will be done in an instant.

・If you don't have one, a roller is fine.

・If there is nothing there, just pick it up with your hands.

The goal is to " prevent garbage from being left lying around and causing odors . "

1. First, remove light dirt

Much of the exterior is actually just light dirt.
Dry dust, light black marks on the surface, and other friction marks will come off immediately.

▶ What you need

- A soft cloth dampened with water

・Microfiber cloth (for finishing)

・Eraser (to prevent darkening)

▶ How to drop

・Use a damp cloth and wipe gently from top to bottom . No force is needed. Just the weight of your hand will do.

- If the dark spots are just scratches from a hard case, gently rub them with an eraser and this will almost completely remove them.

- Finally, wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth. If any moisture remains, it will cause ring stains, so be careful here.

Heavy dirt from airport conveyors and mud stains from rainy days.
Let's gently remove these a little.

3. What to do about stains that won't come off?

- Deep scrape marks on the conveyor

- Darkening of corners

-Strong color transfer (red or blue lines)

There are limits to how much of these you can do at home, so don't try to remove them too much, just do what you can.

Pursuing it too much will only make it more painful.

However, depending on the material, you can adjust the color using scratch-concealing wax .

4. Protecting the finish will help it last longer

With a little maintenance, it will be dirt-resistant for your next trip.

・Hard case: Apply a thin coat of automotive polish (weak type) → This will restore shine and make it less susceptible to dirt.
