Whether it’s a fine dress watch or a bulky water-resistant one, a common enemy of watch owners is grease and oil building up on the surface. This build-up of oil and grease can quickly ruin the look of the watch and decrease its monetary value. Thankfully, there are a few different methods you can use to remove these unsightly stains without too much effort.
Toothpaste is a surprisingly effective tool when it comes to removing grease and oil stains from watches. Simply apply a small amount of toothpaste onto the stained area and gently rub it in with a soft cloth until the stain lifts. Be sure not to scrub too hard as this could damage the watch.
Fabric softener is another effective tool for removing grease and oil stains from watches. Simply dilute the fabric softener with warm water and apply it onto the stained area. Gently rub it in with a soft cloth until the stain lifts. Once again, be careful not to scrub too hard as this could damage the watch.
Alcohol is a versatile solvent that can work wonders when it comes to removing grease and oil stains from watches. Simply dab a small amount onto the stained area and gently rub it in until the stain lifts. As before, take care not to scrub too hard as this could damage the watch.
By following above methods, you should be able to effectively remove grease and oil stains from your watch. Be sure to test methods on an inconspicuous area of the watch first to ensure they won't cause any damage, and remember to always be gentle when rubbing stains off.
