Quick answer
Gently spot-clean the polyurethane exterior with a damp microfiber cloth, avoid soaking the bow detail, and let the case air-dry away from direct heat.
Why gentle cleaning matters for the Leathery Toast finish
The Soap Case® Delicate Bow in Leathery Toast has a polyurethane exterior that mimics leather's look but needs different care than real leather. Harsh cleaners or scrubbing can dull that warm toast tone and damage the soft felt interior lining.
The bow detail adds charm but also collects dust and oils from daily handling. Regular, gentle cleaning preserves both the aesthetic and the functional raised edges that protect your screen and camera.
Step-by-step care routine
- Remove your phone and inspect the case: Take the iPhone out of the case. Check the bow area and felt lining for loose lint or crumbs. A quick shake or gentle tap removes most dry debris. Skipping this step can grind grit into the felt lining during cleaning.
- Spot-clean the polyurethane exterior: Dampen a soft microfiber cloth with lukewarm water (no soap). Wipe the Leathery Toast surface in one direction. For sticky spots on the bow, use a dry cloth first — moisture can distort the bow shape if rubbed too hard. Never submerge the case or use alcohol-based wipes; they can strip the finish and loosen the bow attachment.
- Dry and reshape the case: Pat the exterior with a dry microfiber cloth, then let the case air-dry on a flat surface away from radiators or sunlight. Gently reshape the bow if it got flattened during cleaning. Heat can warp the polyurethane and shrink the felt lining, so patience is better than a hairdryer.
- Reinstall your phone and check fit: Once completely dry, slide your iPhone back in. The raised edges should feel snug but not tight. If the case feels loose, the felt may still be damp — let it dry longer. A damp case can trap moisture against your phone, risking damage to ports or speakers.
