To clean a luggage handle, wipe it down thoroughly with a damp microfiber cloth, a disinfecting wipe, or an all-purpose cleaner.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of how to effectively clean your luggage handle:
-
Gather Your Supplies: You'll need a clean microfiber cloth, disinfecting wipes (like Lysol or Clorox wipes), or an all-purpose cleaner spray.
-
Prepare the Handle: If there is loose dirt or debris, brush it off with a dry cloth first.
-
Cleaning Methods:
-
Disinfecting Wipes: The easiest method is to use a disinfecting wipe. Ensure the handle remains visibly wet for the time specified on the wipe's packaging (usually a few minutes) to properly disinfect it.
-
Damp Microfiber Cloth: For a simple cleaning, dampen a microfiber cloth with water. Wipe the handle thoroughly, paying attention to crevices and areas that get the most contact.
-
All-Purpose Cleaner: If using an all-purpose cleaner spray, spray it onto the microfiber cloth (do not spray directly onto the luggage handle to avoid damage). Then, wipe the handle clean. Ensure you remove any cleaner residue with a clean, damp cloth.
-
-
Drying: Allow the handle to air dry completely before storing your luggage.
-
Consider the Material: For leather handles, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather to avoid damage. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't discolor or damage the material.
-
Frequency: Clean your luggage handle after each trip, especially if you've been traveling in crowded areas.
By following these steps, you can keep your luggage handle clean and hygienic.
