What You Need:
- Lint-free cloth
- Rubbing alcohol
- Watch cleaner
- Soft toothbrush (optional)
Instructions:
- Gently wipe the watch face with a lint-free cloth. Avoid rubbing too hard and focus on using gentle strokes as this can damage the watch.
- Dab some rubbing alcohol onto a new lint-free cloth and gently rub the stained area. Make sure you're careful not to get rubbing alcohol near the watch face – it can cause discoloration.
- If the stain is still present, apply a few drops of watch cleaner with a soft toothbrush and gently scrub area. Begin by using very light pressure and work your way up from there.
- Rinse off soap or cleaner with cold water and dab the area dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
- Finally, use a lint-free cloth to polish off the watch face and give it a nice shine.
