Step 1: Gather Supplies

You will need a few supplies in order to clean your watch:

Mild soap
Soft brush (such as an old toothbrush)
Cotton swabs
Soft cloth

Step 2: Rinse off the Watch

Using plain water, or a solution of mild soap and water, rinse off the watch. Rinse it for about 30 seconds to a minute, making sure that you’ve removed any visible dirt.

Step 3: Scrub with a Soft Brush

Using a soft brush, such as an old toothbrush, gently scrub away at any remaining residue and oils. Be careful not to press down too hard – you don’t want to damage the watch.

Step 4: Use Cotton Swabs and Soap

In any particularly tough spots, try using cotton swabs dipped in a mild soap solution. Gently rub the swab against the spot, and then rinse it off. You may need to repeat this process a few times in order to completely remove the stain.

Step 5: Wipe Down with a Soft Cloth

Once you’ve finished cleaning the watch, use a soft cloth to wipe it down. Make sure that all residue has been wiped away.

Step 6: Let the Watch Air Dry

Finally, let the watch air dry. Do not use a towel or cloth to dry it, as this may cause streaks or scratches on the watch.

Conclusion

With a few simple steps and some common household items, you can easily clean suntan lotion stains from your watch. Remember to be gentle and take your time - you don’t want to damage the watch!
