How do you clean your Sport Band? [MERGED]

[lirn8]

Hi all
I've got the SS 42mm with white sport band
How do you clean it?
Remove from watch and put under water?
Use any other materials?

Thank you
Liran

not sure if this can ruin the band but i used rubbing alcohol to clean it and the bottom of the case. i don't use it on the watch glass though cause i think it has a oleophobic coating.

I noticed some black scuff marks on my sport band today. They came off rather easily with just a little soap and water.

Simple Green for me. 99 cent per bottle at the 99 Cent Store.

Just with my finger. The friction takes marks off pretty easily.

Vinegar water mix takes care of the dirt!

A damp micro fiber cleaned it up

So in class yesterday I got a little ink on the bottom side of my white sport band. I tried the normal 'soap and water' method Apple suggests to get it off and no luck. I tried my go to solution of isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth and it didn't do a thing.

Any suggestions?

Scrub harder is all I can say

It'll be really hard to clean that polymer and retain the finish of the band. If you want to risk it, try oxyclean or other cleaning agent known for being able to remove ballpoint ink from polyester clothing. It should work.

Try lightly rubbing with a magic eraser

what about a little bleach?

Hairspray is the best thing I know to remove ink. Spray a little on a Q-Tip and rub. Should come right off.

Mr. Clean Magic eraser very gently applied?

Try BabyOrganics Toy and High Chair wipes. I current use them to clean my FitBit.

Be careful, all these suggestions may ruin the finish of the band.

Bleach on black? No unless you are looking for a reverse leopard skin look.

As mentioned, hair spray. Also maybe nail polish remover or Goo Gone. HOWEVER, be sure to spot test with a Q-tip in an inconspicuous area before going all-in.

As one of many owners of a Sport Band, I'm curious to see how this turns out.

 

[PLamarine]

To remove ink try hand sanitizer.

Nail polish remover should do the trick

I've learned to use baby wipes on stuff you are unsure of. If it's gentle enough for a baby, should be fine for the watch bands.

this. Vineger is so much better than harsh chemicals. Use it on so much. Also bicarbonate of soda is good.

 

[ant1298]

Doesn't Apple suggest just warm water?

I use non chemical and non perfume for my baby
I think I'll try that
