Hey everyone! I think its been about a year since I got my FP5 from murena, with the blue case. I noticed early on that from normal use it got stained and a bit dirty. Keep in mind I live in a really hot country (summers reach around 45°C) so sweating is unavoidable, especially if Im helping a relative with their garden/general house maintenance, or similar activities that equal unclean hands + sweat.

Ive tried wiping it with a wet wipe, but the stains remain.

Any ideas for what I can use to clean it without damaging the material? Im thinking of trying rubbing alcohol but Id like some advice before I try anything new, to avoid damaging it since its a non-standard recycled material.

Id also like to keep this colour of case since I really like the blue :)

Have you tried dish soap? Or a light abrasive like baking soda or toothpaste?

Dish soap is made to remove oils and grease. If the stains are from the oils in your hands, that will work. Light abrasives can "scratch" it off without leaving marks
