How should I clean my Victorinox Travel Gear product?

Leather: Wet area evenly with warm water and wipe with soft cloth. Do not saturate. Saddle soaps and leather cleaners can be used but may contain oil or wax that can darken leather. Fabric: Clean with mild soap and water. Do not saturate. Evenly clean the entire panel, not just the soiled area. For stubborn stains, treat with a foaming wool/nylon upholstery cleaner. Do not use the cleaner on leather trim. Vinyl: Evenly clean the entire panel with a damp cloth. Household wax spray rejuvenates shine. Polycarbonate: Clean with mild soap and water. Evenly clean the entire panel, not just the stained area. Do not use industrial-grade cleaning products, as this will lead to discoloration and stains.
