Let's face it, whether you like it or not, your watch gets dirty, and if you sweat a lot, it may even smell funny. This blog will lead you through watch cleaning step by step, making it simple to follow and producing the greatest results, whether you own a Casio Watch or a Seiko.

Step 1: Inspection

Cleaning your watch allows you to examine it (using the magnifying glass from Dad's table) and see how it is holding up. Keep an eye out for any damage that can permit moisture to enter. Pay close attention to the crown's or any other movable parts' condition. Analogously, take a glance at the crystal's base. A watch mechanic must thoroughly examine your watch and clean it if the crystal is dust-filled or detached from the case.

Step 2: Remove the Bracelet or Strap

Use a suitable spring bar tool to remove the band or strap from your watch, assuming you won't be reluctant to assist yourself. This will enable you to clean the inner side of the lugs and the bracelet's end links, two of the dirtiest areas of your watch. The straps are removed in the same manner, except that they don't contain any links. Remove it and set it away. Your bracelet should be taken off to facilitate thorough cleaning.

Step 3: Wipe the Watch

Use packaged wipes, which are readily accessible from mobile accessory stores, and gently wipe every crevice, edge, and inscription, paying specific attention to the crown. The watch will be mostly clean after a quick once-over, and you will be able to see the most difficult stains and dirt accumulations clearly.

Step 4: Wooden pick (Or Brush) Time

Take a matchstick and cut off the stern, brittle tip if any sticky grime won't come off with simply a wipe. Next, gently work the toothpick's wrapped edge into the trouble spots by softly wrapping it around the wipe's edge (make sure it's not too harsh). If the cleaning has disturbed any debris accumulated over time, gently brush it away with a toothbrush, especially one that is soft and fragile. It is best to go as thoroughly as possible with the wipe, especially on sapphire crystal, because softer metals or chrome shine could be harmed by something like a wooden pick. If you are still deciding whether to scratch, have it looked at by a professional?

Step 5: Microfiber touch

Use a soft, brand-new microfiber to quickly finish your cleaning to absorb extra moisture, including hand perspiration. The inner lugs, case back, and edges of the crystal dome and bezel may all be cleaned by wrapping the cloth around your finger and using your nail.

Now that you have one, ideally, it has been cleaned. If you removed your bracelet or strap, you could clean it using the same procedures described above for cleaning a bracelet by giving it a warm, soapy wash, cleaning it with a toothbrush, and patting it dry with a paper towel. Remember to avoid scraping your bracelet against any metal or hard surfaces, as chrome plating is prone to sharp, pointy edges that cause the most damage.

Remember to take off your spring bars and pins, and pay closer attention to the end links because there is where sweat collects and ruins the polish. Carefully inspect the clasp for any extra debris that may collect there from wetsuits or surfaces you may have scratched while sitting and placing your arms, as you might do on a restaurant table or somewhere else. Once the bracelet or strap is clean, it may be swiftly dried with a microfiber towel unless your bracelet clasp is exceptionally intricate as the ones on Casio G-shocks straps.

You now wear a crisp, tidy-looking timepiece on your wrist. Now that you've thoroughly cleaned your watch, we advise maintaining it by giving it a quick once-weekly once-over with a cleaning wipe. Given our recent emphasis on handwashing and how it accumulates water and soap beneath the watch and produces extra filth, this is crucial. Before washing your hands, please take off your watch; after drying your hands, put it back
