FAQ: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ON CLEANING SILICONE WATCH STRAPS

How do you clean silicone rubber watch straps?

Silicone rubber watch straps are hard wearing and less absorbent than traditional leather straps making them perfect for sports and outdoor activity. Their practicality does however still require some regular attention to keep them looking just as good as the day you bought them. After a hard day’s wear, some mild washing up liquid and water combined with a soft cloth or your hands can be used to remove any dirt or stains. Once this has been done, the strap can be rinsed and left to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight. DO NOT use abrasives like a coarse pad or brush to remove stubborn stains – you run the risk of damaging the strap.

How do you clean white silicone rubber watch straps?

Follow the tips above, but make sure you tackle any dirt or stains as soon as they appear on the strap. As you need to be gentle when cleaning, it is imperative the dirt isn’t given a chance to set in as you aggressive cleaning will damage the strap.

How do I stop my silicone rubber watch strap from smelling?

Due to their durability and comfort, silicone watch straps are often chosen as sports straps. They come in a range of colours that can suit anyone’s individual style – but if you’re wearing them while you play sports or engaging in strenuous activity they will come into contact with sweat and the body’s natural oils. However, keeping any odours at bay is simple – you just need to treat your watch strap like any other part of your workout kit and give it a quick clean after each session. This should stop any bad smells from developing and prolong the watch strap’s life.

How long do silicone watch straps last?

With the right care and attention, your watch strap will last well beyond the 1 year guarantee we offer. Take care of it and keep it clean and you’ll enjoy many years of style and comfort.

What shouldn’t I use to clean my silicone watch strap?

As tempting as it is to tackle dirt and stains with more hardcore cleaners, a mild detergent like washing up liquid and water is very much the ONLY thing you should use to clean your watch strap. Below is a non-exhaustive list of things to avoid using while cleaning your strap.

• Vinegar
• Anything with an alcohol base
• Baking soda

While it may be tempting to get rid of that tough stain once and for all, using any of the above runs the risk of damaging your watch strap and reducing its life span.
