Washing and cleaning

Usually neoprene covers are hand washable because the material itself is not much affected by water.

But then, be careful while washing.

Do not expose the cushioning and paddings inside the bag to water. That can be dangerous for your laptop if the cushion is not properly dried. Water contained in the cushion is not at all good for your laptop.

Use a fabric protector for extra protection. That also eases cleaning of the laptop case. Regular conditioning would be a great idea though a neoprene laptop case is not very maintenance intensive.
