How to Clean a Watch at Home
By World of Watches •
Wipe the case with a soft, slightly damp cloth, clean a metal bracelet with a soft brush and mild soapy water if the watch is water resistant, and keep leather straps dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and never use a water jet.
Case And Glass
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth, then dry it. For fingerprints on the glass, a dry microfibre cloth is enough.
Bracelet
If the watch is water resistant and the crown is pushed in or screwed down, you can brush a steel bracelet gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soapy water, then rinse and dry well.
What To Avoid
- Harsh chemicals: Solvents and strong cleaners can damage finishes and seals.
- Leather in water: Water damages leather straps.
- Ultrasonic cleaners at home: These can harm some watches.
