How to clean your Apple Watch

When cleaning your Apple Watch, it is important to pay attention to various points to avoid damage to the device. In principle, you should avoid cleaning products, compressed air, ultrasonic cleaning or heat sources. But soaps and similar agents also cause damage.

1. Make sure that you do not use too much liquid when cleaning and that it also does not get into the openings. If you use a cloth moistened with alcohol, then proceed very carefully.
2. When cleaning, you should always keep the Apple Watch dry. Also, turn off the watch completely and remove it from the charger before you start cleaning.
3. Be especially careful with leather straps and remove them first.
4. As a cloth, use a fabric that does not rub and is lint-free. To remove heavier dirt, you can lightly moisten the cloth with warm clean water.
5. Once you have finished cleaning, dry the watch completely. This should not leave any liquid on the device before you turn it back on.
