What should you pay attention to when cleaning a quartz watch?

　　What precautions should we take during the cleaning process of a quartz watch? Let's learn together below.

　　Precautions for cleaning quartz watches

　　1, precautions when cleaning the quartz watch circuit board: The quartz circuit consists of solid-state electronics, a quartz resonator, a trimmer capacitor, and a printed circuit board. Due to the delicate nature of electronic watch components, industrial 99% anhydrous alcohol (absolute ethanol) or trichlorethylene is generally used for cleaning. Components can be placed in a container for cleaning, though the duration should not be too long; gently clean them with a cleaning brush, remove them, blow them dry with an air blower or dry them with heat, and then finish cleaning with a silk cloth or precision tool. Avoid misusing cleaning solutions, otherwise the quality of the quartz watch components will be affected.

　　2, precautions when cleaning the quartz watch coil holder: Because the outer layer of the quartz watch coil wire has no protective covering, it must not be cleaned inside a container, nor should the coil generally be held by hand. The correct method is to hold the two magnetic conductive ends of the coil holder by hand and gently clean it with a relatively soft brush (be careful not to break the lead-out wire of the coil at the lead plate soldering point). Do not use petrol on the quartz watch coil lead plate.

　　3, precautions for cleaning the quartz watch mainplate and motor stator: The motor stator on the quartz watch mainplate should not be removed during cleaning, because the fit between the quartz watch motor stator and the mainplate locating hole is generally very tight and must not be loosened. Removing the stator can easily cause damage, and any bending or scratching will affect the magnetic permeability of the quartz watch. When cleaning, the mainplate can be cleaned together with it. Petrol can be used as a cleaning fluid, but avoid ultrasonic internal vibration cleaning, as this method will also affect the stator's magnetic permeability.

　　4, proper method for cleaning the battery: The battery casing is made of zinc, and petrol has a corrosive effect on the battery casing. Therefore, petrol and other liquids must not be used for cleaning. If there are stains on the quartz watch battery, simply wipe them away with a soft flannel cloth.

　　5, precautions when cleaning the watch motor: The fit between the magnetic steel of the quartz watch motor rotor and the copper bushing is bonded with metal adhesive, so cleaning solutions must not be used. Generally, an eraser or a willow wood stick can be used to wipe them, followed by finishing with a soft brush.

　　Steps for cleaning leather watch straps

　　1, when a leather strap develops an odour, dip a toothbrush into a little soapy water, quickly scrub the dirty areas, and then wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.

　　2, spray medicinal alcohol with a concentration of 99% onto the leather strap, then apply a coat of beeswax; the odour of the leather strap can be instantly eliminated. After three applications, this can be permanently removed, providing exceptionally strong disinfection, moisture-proof, and mildew-resistant benefits without harming the leather strap.

　　3, you can add a little table vinegar to warm water, soak the leather strap for 2 hour, and then wash with soap; the odour of the leather strap will be reduced.

　　4, you can also pour floral water onto a towel and then use the towel to wipe the leather strap; the leather odour will disappear, and the watch leather strap will be thoroughly cleaned.

　　5, detach the strap for cleaning. Use a suitable amount of washing liquid as the cleaning solution, soak the strap in warm water for 10 minutes first, and then scrub the crevices of the strap using the softest toothbrush.
