We know watches are usually made with delicate material and require special attention; this is why chocolate stains must be treated carefully, especially on the straps. There are a few simple steps that you need to follow for best results.
- If your watch is waterproof, make sure it is tightly closed before beginning.
- Prepare a solution of warm water and neutral soap, or shampoo. The cleaning product should be non-abrasive and it's important to use lukewarm water; hot water may damage the surface.
- Dampen a piece of cloth and begin wiping off the stained area. Make sure the cloth is not dripping, just moist enough to work.
- Continue gently scrubbing with the cloth until the stain starts to come off.
- Once done, rinse the cloth and clean area again.
- Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
These steps should help you get rid of chocolate stains and keep your watch looking great. Make sure to not let the stains sit in one place for too long and always opt for a mild-cleaning solution.
In addition, if you want to maintain the shine on your watch, consider investing in a protective coating such as a watch crystal protector. This will allow you to safely clean your watch without having to remove it often.
Finally, it's important to mention that due to the delicate nature of watches, it is recommended to take your watch to a professional jeweler for any major stains and regular maintenance.
