What You Need
To remove shoe polish stains from a watch, you'll need the following:
- Rubbing alcohol
- Cotton swabs
- Soft brush
- Dish soap

Step 1: Soak the Watch
Soaking watch in rubbing alcohol is the first step. Pour enough alcohol into a bowl so that it covers the entire watch. Allow the watch to soak for five minutes.
Step 2: Use a Cotton Swab
Once watch has been soaking, use a cotton swab to gently scrub at the stained area. Do not apply too much pressure, as this can damage the watch.

Use a soft brush to clean any residue from the band of the watch. Dip the brush into dish soap and gently scrub the band. Rinse the cloth in clean water and dry it thoroughly.

Finally, buff the watch with a soft cloth to remove any remaining stains. This will bring back the watch's shine. Make sure to dry the watch thoroughly after buffing.
