How to remove stickers

Should you wish to remove stickers from your case, such as airline bag tags, you can use the RIMOWA Aluminium & Polycarbonate Care Cream for gentle spot cleaning.

We do not recommend using abrasive products such as bleach, ammonia, acetone, or scouring pads on your RIMOWA products.
These items can damage the surface and compromise the integrity of the material.
