How do you clean an old Hartmann suitcase?

1 Answer
How do you clean an old Hartmann suitcase?
To clean an old Hartmann suitcase, use mild dish soap and water. First, wipe down the entire piece with a soft soapy cloth. Use a nylon-bristled brush to clean any stubborn areas. Finish up by wiping away soap with a damp cloth and drying with a final cloth. Shop a range of Hartmann suitcases on 1stDibs.
