Cleaning Gravy: Tips to Get Grease Stains off Your Watch

Grease stains can really make your watch look dull and dirty, but that doesn't mean you have to buy a new one. Read below for tips on how to clean gravy stains from watches using everyday household items.

Accidents happen and occasional spilled gravy is no exception—especially when it comes to watches. While the metal or plastic of the watch may be easy to clean off if you act fast, the same isn’t true for the delicate fabric band. Gravy stain removal is slightly more involved.

What You'll Need:

• Soap
• Tissues, Cloth, or Paper Towels
• Warm Water

Methods:

1. Start with Soap

Start by dabbing the affected area with soap and warm water. Make sure not to rub the stain as it may spread. With a cloth or tissue, gently blot the stain until it starts to lift.

2. Be Careful Not to Get the Watch Wet

The watch itself should not come into contact with liquid as it may damage internal mechanism of watch. Stick strictly to band when cleaning. If you’re using a cloth or tissue make sure to use a dry one or change it out after each dab.

3. Rinse with Water When You're Done

After the gravy stains have been removed, rinse the watchband in warm water and allow to air dry. Do not machine wash the fabric as it could shrink or warp the shape of the band.
