Brilio.net - When traveling, many people choose various types of suitcases to carry their belongings. There are several popular choices such as softcase suitcases made of fabric, semi-hardcase suitcases that have moderate flexibility, and hardcase suitcases made of hard materials such as polycarbonate or ABS.
Hardcase suitcases are a favorite of many people because of their strength in protecting their belongings from impacts and pressure. Although hardcase suitcases are known to be durable and hard-wearing, unfortunately this type of suitcase is susceptible to scratches and nicks. This happens because the hard and slippery surface of the suitcase is easily scratched when rubbed against a rough surface. These scratches, although they do not damage the function of the suitcase, can make the appearance of the suitcase less attractive and look worn.
To overcome the problem of scratches on hardcase suitcases, many people look for creative solutions such as attaching decorative stickers that can also make the suitcase more recognizable. This method is much more affordable than having to buy a new suitcase which is not cheap. In addition to using stickers, some people also choose to use a protective suitcase cover or luggage cover that can be removed and attached.
If you don't like sticking stickers on your suitcase, you can follow the method of the TikTok account owner @taurusboy.88, which brilio.net quoted on Wednesday (9/4).

To remove it, you don't need to spend a lot of money. You also don't need to take your suitcase to a service center because you can fix it yourself at home. You only need a lighter, namely a match.

The method is to light a match and then slowly direct the flame towards the surface of the suitcase that has scratches. Direct the match to the right and left. As a result, the white scratch marks that were previously visible on the surface of the suitcase begin to disappear. You can repeat the same steps if there are several scratches on your suitcase.
Securing your luggage while traveling starts before you leave home. Install a TSA lock on your luggages zipper to prevent theft. Provide clear identification on the outside and inside of your luggage, such as your name, phone number, and email address. Store valuables like important documents, money, and electronics in your carry-on bag, not in your checked luggage.
