Never Machine Wash

There is a pretty good chance that your suitcase will be machine washable. Throwing the bag into the washing machine might seem like a good idea, but it could create serious problems. If you have a soft suitcase, there is a possibility that the machine will wreck it. Instead, you should always wash with mild soap and dry your bag by hand. Never put your bag into washing machine or dryer and don’t use bleach or other strong detergents. This will help to ensure that the suitcase is able to remain intact for the rest of your life.

Storage Is Key

Another thing to remember is that storage is incredibly important. If you store the bag in the wrong manner, there is a good chance that it is going to get crushed and destroyed. With that in mind, you should always store your bag properly. Make sure that it remains upright at all times. Never put anything heavy on top of the suitcase, since that could cause it to collapse and become crushed under the weight.

Many people store their luggage in the attic or in the garage but luggage should not be stored in space where it can be exposed to extreme temperature changes or damp / moisture. It is better to store luggage inside your house, e.g. in a closet or under a bed.

Also, make sure that you take the time to inspect the bag before putting it away. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, you should take care of it right away.

Protect It From Your Pets

For the best results you can have your bag professionally restored, e.g. if your bag is expensive, classic or very special to you. Professional restoring services use special dyes, conditioners, polishers, and applications to make your bag look like new.

Use With Caution

Finally, you should always use your suitcase with extreme caution. When taking it out and using it for a trip, you should treat it with meticulous care. Be incredibly cautious and do not do anything that might scratch or rip your suitcase. If you intend to let someone borrow it, you need to make sure that they’re responsible and will return it in immaculate condition.
