Clean your watch strap to give your timepiece a new lease of life
After wearing a newly purchased watch for a while, it is inevitable that the strap will get dirty. A dirty watch strap is not only unsightly, but it also has a certain impact on the lifespan of the strap. So, how should we clean a watch strap? Today, Xiaoya brings you some clever tips for cleaning watch straps, so be sure to learn them.
Clever tips for cleaning watch straps
Cleaning methods for metal bracelets
1. Personal cleaning
Remove the bracelet first, add an appropriate amount of washing-up liquid to hot water, soak it for 10 minutes, and then scrub it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Once finished, rinse with clean water and dry with an electric hair dryer.
Disadvantages: Not thoroughly clean, prone to rusting, and not professional enough, which can easily cause some damage to the watch bracelet.
2. Professional cleaning
Remove the bracelet for cleaning and use an ultrasonic cleaning machine. The cleaning solution is clean water mixed with washing-up liquid. Depending on the level of dirt, severely soiled bracelets may require several cleaning cycles, followed by a rinse with clean water and drying with an electric hair dryer. The disadvantage is that it incurs a certain cost.
How to clean a leather watch strap
1. Use hand cream, especially expired hand cream. When wiping, use a soft cloth, preferably an old fabric mask. This method is not only suitable for leather straps, but can also be used to maintain all leather and imitation leather materials, as well as light-coloured leather shoes and boots. This method not only removes dirt but also protects the leather.
2. You can use "Pledge Lemon" or "Klim" for cleaning, which can clean, polish, and protect leather straps.
3. Safflower oil can effectively clean leather watch straps. Dab a little safflower oil onto a glasses cloth to wipe it; it will clean the leather strap very well, though it will leave a slight scent.
4. Buy a bottle of hydrogen peroxide from a pharmacy for 1.5 yuan. Mix one-tenth hydrogen peroxide with warm water and washing powder, then gently scrub with a brush. This not only removes dirt but also disinfects and sterilises.
Precautions for cleaning watch straps
1. You must confirm whether each part, mainplate, and jewel is clean. Residual dirt must be thoroughly removed, otherwise the effect of oiling will be greatly compromised.
2 When servicing a watch, all components must be completely disassembled, the movement cleaned with petrol, and other mechanisms inside cleaned using professional equipment before oiling and reassembly.
3 In addition to internal components, the watch case must also be polished during a service. After such a thorough and professional cleaning, vintage watches can generally be restored to around eighty per cent of their original condition.
