    How to clean the White Diffuser of a Softbox?

    Do not wash a White Diffuser yourself; the white color and the black frame might change.
    To clean the Diffuser, we advise contacting a dry cleaner shop.
    In case something goes wrong, you can order a new diffuser as a spare part from your local Elinchrom Distributor.
