How to clean apple watch band
If you wear your Apple Watch all the time, might want to know how to clean the band, since it can get pretty dirty. You can clean the band with just a few household items.
For metal link or Milanese loop bands
Use a soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with water.
Gently wipe the band clean. Avoid getting moisture in any openings.
Dry the band thoroughly before you put it back on your wrist.
If you have a leather Apple Watch band, read Cleaning and conditioning your leather band to extend its life and prevent it from drying out.
For leather bands
Leather bands are particularly prone to staining, so it’s important to be extra careful when cleaning them. If your band is starting to look a bit dirty, you can clean it using a soft, dry cloth. If the stains are more persistent, you can try dabbing them with a mild soap and water solution. Be sure to remove any soap residue with a soft, dry cloth afterwards.
If your leather band has lost its luster, you can try revitalizing it with a leather conditioner. Be sure to follow the instructions on the product carefully, and always test it on an inconspicuous area of the band first.
For rubber/silicone bands
To clean your rubber or silicone Apple Watch band, remove it from your watch.
Then, rinse the band with warm water and soap. Be sure to rinse all soap off thoroughly. Next, dry the band with a lint-free cloth.
If you need to remove stains or dirt that won’t come off with soap and water, you can use a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Rub the stains or dirt gently until they come off.
Finally, rinse the band again with warm water to remove any residue from the cleaning solutions. Dry the band one last time before putting it back on your watch.
