Cleaning your smartwatch is easy, but doing it right is what matters the most. From smudges and smears to dust, it can become apparent on smartwatches. Hence, to keep the dust and viruses away, it is necessary to clean your watch on a regular basis. If you are using something premium like an Apple Watch, then it becomes even more important to keep your smartwatch display and band clean. Here's a guide for you to know what you need to do step-by-step to keep your Apple Watch clean. Have a look.

Remove the band from your Apple Watch before cleaning. Then for the leather bands, clean it with a lint-free cloth and if necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water. 

You should note that leather bands aren't water resistant, hence don’t soak leather bands in water.

If your watch has a Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop, Sport Band, Sport Loop, Ocean Band, Alpine Loop, or Trail Loop style band, then you can also use mild hypoallergenic hand soap for cleaning.

Let the band air dry thoroughly before you attach it to your Apple Watch. 

If you are worrying that should you use disinfectant to clean your Apple Watch or not, then know that Apple says while “using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe, 75 percent ethyl alcohol wipe, or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the exterior surfaces of your Apple Watch.” However, you should not use it on fabric or leather bands. However, don't use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
