Maintenance
1. Cleaning Instructions
- Exterior: Wipe the polyester-twill chevron quilted exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Interior: Spot clean the fully lined interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before closing.
2. Wheel and Zipper Care
- Wheels: Periodically check wheels for debris. Clean any accumulated dirt or hair to ensure smooth rolling.
- Zippers: The luggage features premium self-repairing coil zippers. To ensure longevity, avoid overstuffing the luggage, which can strain the zippers. If a zipper becomes stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.
Troubleshooting
- Stuck Retractable Handle: If the handle becomes difficult to extend or retract, ensure no items inside the luggage are obstructing the handle mechanism. Gently wiggle the handle while pressing the release button. Avoid forcing the handle.
- Stiff or Jammed Wheels: Check the wheels for any trapped debris (e.g., string, hair, dirt). Remove any obstructions. If the wheels still do not spin freely, they may require cleaning or lubrication at the axle point.
- Zipper Issues: If a zipper separates or snags, try to gently pull the slider back to the beginning of the zipper track and slowly re-zip. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.
