Trochi’s hardside luggage is easy to clean. Simply wipe down the outside surface of the case with a mild soap and warm water. To dry, simply wipe with a soft, non-abrasive drying cloth. Do not use heat to dry. To preserve the luster of your Trochi, polish with any reputable automobile or furniture polish begin careful to follow the manufacturer’s directions carefully. Because oil may run or leak into the case’s interior and stain the lining, avoid oiling locks and hinges. A fine steel wool and a clear sealant can be used to safely remove scratches from luggage hardware.
Avoid, if possible, storing your Trochi anywhere where extremes of temperature or humidity may occur since these tend to age luggage prematurely. If kept in an attic or basement storage area for lengthy periods when not traveling, you’ll want to take your Trochi out of storage from time to time to be opened and aired. This will help to prevent the growth of mildew due to humidity as well as maintain the case’s resiliency. Whether for airing or travel, we recommend cleaning your luggage immediately upon taking it out of storage.
Protecting your Trochi & PossessionsWhen traveling internationally, airport security measures may require security personnel to access luggage without the owner being present. Luggage locked or secured with anything other than a TSA approved lock may need to be opened by force for the purpose of conducting inspections. Approved TSA locks, however, can be opened by authorities using universal “master” keys, inspected and then relocked without any damage to the luggage. We highly recommend you lock your luggage when traveling and that you do so with a TSA approved locking system. The red diamond insignia on your Trochi lock is the universally recognized mark of a TSA approved lock.
Your TSA lock’s default combination is 0-0-0. Resetting your lock’s combination is a simple three-step process. Press the lock’s reset button until you hear a click. Now your lock is ready to accept a new combination. Set the three-digit combination code to a combination of your choosing. Now pull the lock’s release/open tab to permanently set your new combination. You can test that you’ve set the lock correctly by placing the zipper tabs in the lock’s tab inserts and trying the 0-0-0 combination which should no longer open the lock. Now use your newly reset combination and – voila! Simply repeat this procedure whenever you want to reset your lock’s combination. All Trochi luggage comes equipped with instructions for setting your combination.
