How do I clean my bag/luggage?Updated 3 years ago

Soft Bags

All of our products are meant to be hand washed when they require a cleaning. Do not put your NOMATIC Gear in a washing machine. The best way to care for your gear is to take a damp wash cloth and some dish soap and gently wipe the surface of the bag. Unfortunately, soaking the bag in water or putting it in the washing machine will ruin the material. For deeper stains, you may need to put a bit more elbow grease into scrubbing your bag.

Hardcase Luggage 

Use a dilute mix of dish soap and water on another clean microfiber cloth to wash the outer shell. Many marks can be removed with the cloth, and some others may take some gentle scraping with your thumbnail.

There are many sprays and wipes available that will clean and protect the polycarbonate luggage, but many will leave a shiny finish different than the original NOMATIC matte black finish. Look for products formulated for matte finishes like these automotive detailing wipes. Always test these products in an inconspicuous area to see if you like the effect.

Like other high-quality luggage made of aluminum or leather, this polycarbonate luggage is meant to last through many years of travel. Just like scratched and burnished leather or battered aluminum luggage, a well-worn polycarbonate case is a record of your adventures and a badge of your achievements. Though your luggage may not look pristine, rest assured that it will protect and transport your possessions for years to come, as it continues to build its unique patina of scuffs and scratches.
