Quick answer
Clean your Koss leather earbud case with a dry microfiber cloth and store it away from heat and moisture. Avoid water, soap, and direct sunlight to keep the leather supple.
Why leather needs special care
Leather is a natural material that can dry out, stain, or warp if treated like plastic or fabric. The Koss Leather Earbud Case is designed to protect your earbuds, but the leather itself needs gentle handling. Avoid liquid cleaners, abrasive cloths, and prolonged exposure to humidity or heat.
How to clean and store your leather earbud case
- Step 1: Remove debris: Turn the case inside out and gently tap or brush away any dust, lint, or crumbs. Use a soft, dry cloth or a clean makeup brush for crevices. Skipping this step can grind dirt into the leather when you wipe it.
- Step 2: Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth: Gently wipe the entire surface with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not use water, soap, or leather cleaners unless the manufacturer explicitly recommends them. Water can stain leather and cause it to stiffen or crack over time.
- Step 3: Air dry if needed: If the case feels slightly damp from humidity, let it air dry at room temperature away from radiators, heaters, or direct sunlight. Heat speeds up drying but can make leather brittle and shrink the case.
- Step 4: Store in a cool, dry place: Place the clean, dry case in a drawer or shelf away from moisture and heat sources. Avoid leaving it in a car or near a window. Humidity encourages mold; direct sunlight fades and dries out the leather.
- Step 5: Keep earbuds inside when not in use: Store your earbuds in the case whenever you are not using them. This protects both the earbuds and helps the case hold its shape. An empty case can collapse or collect dust; a full case stays functional.
