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.
