Start by taking off any bands or straps connected to your watch. Then wipe down the metal of the watch with a slightly damp cloth or paper towel.
Find out which parts of the watch have rouge stains. This will determine what type of cleaning solution to use. Surfaces with more delicate materials such as stainless steel, gold, or gemstones need different cleaning materials than harder surfaces such as plastic.
For watch cases made of plastic or stainless steel, you can use a mixture of water and mild dish soap. If your watch has a gold or gemstone face, you'll want to use a professional jewelry cleaning solution.
Begin cleaning by taking a soft cloth and lightly dabbing it into the cleaning solution. Then rub the affected area gently. Avoid scrubbing too hard and press too firmly, as this can scratch the watch. You may want to use a toothbrush for hard-to-reach spots.
Once you've removed the rouge stains, rinse the watch off with cold water and pat it dry with a soft cloth. Make sure all remaining cleaning solution is wiped off before you wear it again.
With these five steps, you should now be able to get rid of rouge stains on your watch. Make sure to follow the steps carefully so that you don't damage watch or the materials used in its construction.
