How to Clean & Sanitize Hardside Polypropylene Suitcases After Travel

Suitcases roll through airport terminals, public restrooms, taxi trunks, and luggage carousels, accumulating dirt and germs.

Properly cleaning your 100% Virgin Polypropylene hardside suitcase takes under 10 minutes and keeps your luggage sanitary and scuff-free.

1. Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1. Wipe Down Exterior Shell: Mix warm water with mild dish soap. Wipe the polypropylene surface using a microfiber cloth.
2. Remove Sticker Residue: Apply mild rubbing alcohol or eucalyptus oil to cotton pads to lift airport baggage barcode stickers smoothly.
3. Clean Wheel Treads: Wipe rubberized dual spinner wheels with disinfectant wipes.
4. Sanitize Interior Lining: Vacuum internal compartments and clean the lining appropriately.
