To eliminate all bad smells from your suitcase, you can then prepare a spray bottle in which you will mix water, white vinegar and essential oils. Then spray the solution all over the suitcase and leave it wide open to dry. If you ever do not have white vinegar at home, we advise you to conceive in a small bowl a solution with water (120 ml) and half a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. With a microfiber cloth previously soaked in the mixture, go all over the suitcase, without getting it too wet. With another dry cloth, wipe out all excess moisture in the suitcase, drying it as much as possible, then leave it open to dry completely.
