Caring for Your Luggage
Learn how to take the very best care of your well-loved hardside luggage, softside luggage, and travel pillows so you can keep adventuring with them.
Hardside Luggage
Durable plastic that’s strong, lightweight, flexible and water-resistant.
Wash with warm water and mild dish soap, then rinse.
Try a silicone-based car or furniture polish to add shine and durability.
Softside Luggage
Proprietary technical fabrics that are eco-friendly, durable, and built to last.
Use a mild dish soap and water, or spot clean with a stain remover for clothing, upholstery or cars.
To eliminate odors, apply one part vinegar and five parts water and air out.
How to Store Your Luggage
Extremes of temperature, as well as the extremes of humidity will tend to age luggage. Any Samsonite luggage which is being stored in an attic or basement should be taken out of storage, opened, and permitted to "air" regularly. This will help to prevent mildew from forming as a result of humidity. It also assists in maintaining the normal resiliency of the case itself. Following storage where extreme temperatures prevail, we recommend cleaning the luggage.
