Regular Cleaning

To keep your Alcantara® phone cases and tech accessories looking their best, it's important to perform regular cleaning. This simple routine helps to remove everyday dust and dirt, maintaining the material's luxurious feel and appearance.

Steps for Regular Cleaning:

  1. Dust Removal: Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to gently remove dust from the fabric.
  2. Moistened Wipe: After dusting, take a slightly moistened white cotton cloth and run it over the fabric.

This regular cleaning routine is easy and effective in maintaining the beauty of your Alcantara® accessories.

 

Deep Cleaning

For a more thorough clean, especially when your Alcantara® phone cases and tech accessories have accumulated more dirt or stains, deep cleaning is necessary.

Steps for Deep Cleaning:

  1. Dust Removal: Begin by carefully dusting the material with a soft brush or cloth.
  2. Moisten a Cloth: Moisten a soft cloth or sponge with clean water and wring it thoroughly to avoid soaking the fabric.
  3. Wipe Down: Gently rub the fabric with the moistened cloth, ensuring not to wet it excessively.
  4. Repeat if Necessary: Rinse the cloth or sponge and repeat the process if needed.
  5. Drying: Allow the fabric to dry completely, preferably overnight, to ensure all moisture evaporates.
  6. Brush: Once dry, brush the fabric delicately with a soft bristle brush to improve the texture.

Important Notes:

  • Avoid using printed absorbent cloths or paper towels, as they can leave ink residues on the material.
  • Do not rub too vigorously, as this can damage the texture and finish of the fabric.
  • Ensure the surface is completely dry before use to prevent staining, matting, and damage.
