Read this page to find the best tips & tricks on how to keep your Apple Watch band clean and shiny! All you need to do is follow a few simple guidelines.

METAL BANDS

  • Remove the strap from your watch.
  • Clean your metal band with a microfiber cloth and wipe away any dust or dirt.
  • Oil based lubricants may be used for metal bands and adaptor mechanism.
  • Preserve your metal band´s plating properties by avoiding contact with cleaning agents, beauty products, water, and chemicals. Store the jewellery in a cloth bag to protect it from the elements.
  • iWearLab stainless steel bands may contain elements of nickel. 

LEATHER BANDS

  • Remove the strap from your watch.
  • Clean your leather band with a dry microfiber cloth to wipe off both sides.
  • Then, dampen — do not soak — a jewellery cloth or microfiber cloth and apply a tiny drop of mild hand soap on the cloth. Rub gently your band surface, applying light pressure.
  • With another damp cloth, gently wipe the leather clean. Don’t use too much water, as it can cause damage to the leather (Do not use any chemical cleaners).
  • Let the strap air dry thoroughly.
  • Condition the leather with your favourite leather oil or conditioner to soften and protect it if you want to.
  • Oil based lubricants may be used for metal bands and adaptor mechanism.

SILICONE BANDS

  • Remove the strap from your watch.
  • Clean your silicone band with a dampened nonabrasive, lint-free cloth and let your band air dry thoroughly.
  • If the band has some stubborn stains, try to sprinkle a small amount of baking soda mixed with water on the spot and scrub the spot with your old toothbrush.

NYLON BANDS

  • Remove the strap from your watch.
  • Clean your nylon band with a dampened nonabrasive, lint-free cloth and let your band air dry thoroughly.
  • If the band is very dirty, then use 1 cup of water together with 1 tsp of baking soda and 1 tsp of dish soap. Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Soak the band in the water for 10-12 hours (make sure entire band is covered with water). Take the band out of the water and use an old toothbrush to brush it down slightly from each side. Then rinse it under a fresh water until the soap is gone. Dry it with towel and let it air dry thoroughly.
