Is the HP Spectre Folio 13 leather hard to clean?
Easy cleaning
Keeping leather clean isn't a demanding task, nor does it require expensive products. All you really need — and what HP recommends on the company's website — is a microfiber cloth and some elbow grease. Most dirt, grime and marks will be removed with a few wipes of the cloth.
It's also worth bearing in mind that leather is likely to fade over time, altering color slightly. This isn't something you can avoid through normal use, but planning for regular bi-weekly cleans can help keeping the Spectre Folio 13 looking as good as it did when you unboxed it. Luckily, we broke down the best way to clean your device, and it's quite easy as long as you have a few extra materials.
The do's and don'ts
If marks refuse to budge through the use of a microfiber cloth alone, try damping the cloth a little or adding a small amount of soap.
While cleaning the leather on the HP Spectre Folio 13 may be an easy task, it's also simple for the process to go horribly wrong. HP recommends you steer clear of cleaning products containing substances such as ethyl alcohol, ammonia, chlorine, acetone, turpentine, or other mineral spirits.
