how to clean pvc,
a few simple steps for a bagful always perfect.
After a day spent on public transport, at the office, and on the street, your bag carries the marks of everything you've experienced. Printed PVC doesn't trap dirt like fabric does: it stays on the surface, ready to be removed with a few simple steps, as long as you choose the right products to avoid damaging the material over time.
the first step, a soft cloth and a little water
To remove dust and small marks from daily use, all you need is a soft, slightly damp cloth. Gently wipe the surface without rubbing, and let it air dry away from heat sources.
When done regularly, this simple step keeps the surface as bright as when it first left the workshop, without the need for specific products.

when you need something more: water and mild soap
When a stain or more visible mark doesn't come off with just a damp cloth, a little mild soap diluted in water is enough. Pour it onto the cloth, not directly onto the bag, and wipe the area with light circular motions, as you would with leather.
After cleaning, wipe with a second damp cloth without soap to remove any residue, then let it dry: residue left on the surface can dull the material's shine over time.
what can damage the surface
Some products and methods, even if effective on other materials, can damage printed PVC: harsh solvents and alcohol, which dull the surface and alter the print colors, and abrasive sponges or hard brushes, which risk scratching the non-porous surface and leaving permanent marks.
Also avoid machine washing or prolonged immersion — it's not the intended use for the material — and drying with direct heat sources, such as a radiator or a hairdryer held too close, which can alter the surface.

stubborn stains and rainy days
For ink, paint, or oily substance stains, we don't have a tested and guaranteed solution: the safest approach is to treat them with a damp cloth and mild soap, without using harsh products. If the stain persists, it may not come off completely: it depends on the substance and how long it was in contact with the surface.
If the bag has been in the rain, the first priority isn't cleaning it but drying it: wipe the surface with a dry cloth as soon as you can, so moisture doesn't get trapped near the zipper or seams, where water can more easily work its way in.
less is more: how often to care for it
There's no need to clean the surface too frequently: excessive washing can wear down the protective paint layer and, as a result, fade the print color.
The best advice is to clean only when the product really needs it, when there's visible dirt: this way its original beauty is preserved longer over time.

posso lavare la borsa in pvc sotto l'acqua corrente?
È preferibile evitarlo: meglio un panno umido sulla superficie piuttosto che un getto d'acqua diretto, soprattutto vicino a zip e cuciture.
quali prodotti posso usare per pulire il pvc?
Acqua e sapone neutro diluito sono generalmente sufficienti; evita solventi, alcol o prodotti abrasivi che possono opacizzare la superficie o alterare i colori.
come tolgo una macchia di sporco secco?
Ammorbidisci la macchia con un panno umido prima di strofinare, poi pulisci con movimenti leggeri; evita di grattare con oggetti duri o spugne abrasive.
posso usare le salviette disinfettanti?
Molte salviette disinfettanti contengono alcol o solventi che possono opacizzare il PVC nel tempo: per la pulizia ordinaria un panno umido con sapone neutro resta la scelta più prudente.
la borsa puzza dopo la pioggia, cosa faccio?
Assicurati che sia completamente asciutta, anche all'interno, prima di riporla: l'umidità trattenuta è la causa più comune di odori, non il materiale in sé.
