🧽If the bracelet is very dirty, use a moistened sponge.

🧺Dry with a sponge glove, then allow the band to dry before applying a nourishing colourless shoe polish (do not use shoe creams).

🧼For metallic or rubber bracelets, you will need: a wet soft brush and soap.

🧺Dry with a rag soft and dry. Then use a soft cloth and dab the bracelet.

If persistent stains are present, a toothbrush With soft bristles will allow you to erase them and penetrate between the links of a stainless steel bracelet.

You can also use a cotton swab.

🧼Again, equip yourself with a wet rag to clean both sides of the case. If, despite this first cleaning, the dirt persists, use a soft-bristled toothbrush soaked in soapy water.

🔄 Make circular movements over the entire surface of the case including the dial.

Again, if the piece is sensitive to clean, such as a dial with decorative pieces, use a cotton swab dipped insoapy water or isopropyl alcohol and make slight circular movements on its surface.

🧣Wipe the watch one last time with a soft, lint-free cloth.
