Product Care & Cleaning

All cases are lined with fabrics that are treated to repel moisture and resist permanent staining, which makes cleaning easy. Most soil and stains can be removed by using commercially available spot removers such as K- 2R®.

On the InnovAire Collection

Curv® Material

Wipe down the entire outside surface with cleaning spray and a non-abrasive dry cloth. For best results, clean the entire panel, not just the smudged area. These cleaners should not be used on any fabric lining.

*Note: When using any commercial product, follow the manufacturer's directions carefully.

On The Tweed Legend Collection

Tweed™ Fabric

Hartmann’s exclusive tweed fabric is treated to repel water, dirt and stains, which makes cleaning easy. Clean with mild soap and water using a nylon-bristled brush. For best results, clean the entire panel evenly, not just the soiled area. Do not saturate the fabric. Stubborn stains may be treated with Simple Green®, Fantastik®, Woolite®, or 409®. Foaming upholstery cleaners made for wool-nylon blend fabrics also work well. After your piece has been cleaned, spray the fabric with Scotchgard® to restore its water and stain resistance properties. These cleaners should not be used on leather trim.

*Note: When using any commercial cleaning product, follow the manufacturer's directions carefully.

On The Heritage Zippered Tote

Belting Leather

A high-quality leather product. Any grain, lines, marks or slight differences in color are natural signs impressed on the surface of the hide, and are not detrimental to its quality. To clean, regularly wipe clean with a soft, slightly moist cloth. Only use special leather care products and test them on a less visible part. Never use excessive quantities, and do not rub hard. Remove any moisture immediately with a soft cloth. Always store leather in a cool, dry, well ventilated location and protect from heat and direct sunlight.

Full Grain Leather

Clean this leather with warm water and a soft cloth. For best results, clean the entire panel evenly, not just the soiled spot. Do not saturate. Allow to dry thoroughly. We do not recommend using saddle soaps, commercial leather cleaners or preservatives. While these products will not harm the leather, they often contain wax or oil, which can darken the leather or cause it to permanently show water spots.
