Keep your Infinity Folio looking its best.
Regular cleaning and proper handling can help maintain the appearance and condition of your Belkin Infinity Folio for iPad mini (2026) (MSA080).
Follow this guide to clean the frosted polycarbonate back, TPU-reinforced corners, soft interior lining, and foldable viewing stand without causing unnecessary wear.
 
Before You Begin
Prepare the following items before cleaning your Infinity Folio.
  • Soft Microfiber Cloth: Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and dirt.
  • Clean Water: Use a small amount to lightly dampen the cloth when cleaning the hard exterior.
Important: Carefully remove your iPad mini and Apple Pencil before cleaning the folio. Disconnect any cables or accessories. Never spray liquid directly onto the case or clean it while the iPad is installed.
 
Cleaning Instructions
Clean each part of the Infinity Folio according to the instructions below.
1
Remove Loose Dust and Debris. Using a clean, dry microfiber cloth, gently wipe the entire case to remove loose dust, dirt, and particles. Pay attention to the corners, edges, and areas where debris may collect.
2
Clean the Frosted Polycarbonate Back. If fingerprints or surface marks remain, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with clean water. Gently wipe the hard exterior using smooth, circular motions.
Follow with a clean, dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture. Avoid excessive pressure or abrasive scrubbing.
3
Wipe the TPU-Reinforced Corners. Gently wipe the reinforced corners and surrounding edges with a microfiber cloth. For dirt that does not come off with a dry cloth, use a slightly damp cloth on the exterior surfaces, then wipe them dry.
4
Care for the Soft Interior Lining. Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust and debris from the interior lining. Wipe lightly without rubbing or scrubbing the material.
Keep the lining dry. Avoid soaking the material or applying cleaning solutions directly to its surface.
5
Clean the Folding Stand and Apple Pencil Holder. Open the folding stand and gently remove any visible dust from the folding sections and creases using a dry microfiber cloth.
Wipe the Apple Pencil holder to remove accumulated dust and particles. Do not force the folding mechanism or insert sharp objects into tight spaces.
6
Allow the Case to Dry Completely. Leave the Infinity Folio open in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area until all moisture has evaporated.
Once completely dry, inspect the interior and folding sections for remaining debris before carefully reinstalling the iPad mini and returning the Apple Pencil to its holder.
 
What to Avoid
Avoid the following cleaning methods and materials that may damage the case.
  • Harsh cleaning chemicals: Do not use bleach, acetone, paint thinner, or abrasive chemical cleaners.
  • Alcohol-based cleaning products: Avoid using alcohol wipes or disinfectants without confirmed approval for the case materials.
  • Rough cleaning materials: Avoid hard brushes, scouring pads, and abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.
  • Excessive water: Do not submerge the folio, wash it under running water, or saturate its interior lining.
  • Direct heat: Do not use a hair dryer, heater, or prolonged direct sunlight to dry the case.
  • Excessive force: Do not twist, bend, or force the stand beyond its intended folding positions.
 
Tips for Long-Term Care
Clean Regularly. Remove dust, fingerprints, and skin oils before they accumulate on the case.
Handle the Stand Gently. Fold the stand along its intended creases and avoid forcing it into unsupported positions.
Avoid Excessive Heat. Do not leave the case in high-temperature environments for extended periods.
Inspect for Wear. Check the corners, folding sections, and Apple Pencil holder for visible damage or wear.
