Do you have the habit of wearing a watch? Whether you are wearing a leather strap or a sports strap, once you are exposed to water, sweat or friction for a long time, the top card will be covered with dirt such as grease, dander, sweat and dust, and the strap will start to stink. The watch strap stinks. What should I do if it is dirty? At this time, regular maintenance and cleaning become very important.

The cleaning steps of the leather strap are as follows:
first step
Wipe off the dust and dirt on the outer layer of the leather strap with dry cotton cloth to avoid the strap being scratched by dirty particles in the next cleaning.
Second step
Soak another piece of cotton cloth with warm water, squeeze 1-2 drops of moisturizing hand sanitizer, and then rub the cotton cloth and cleaning liquid back and forth to form foam.
Third step
Wipe the strap and both sides gently in a circular motion with cotton cloth soaked in foam, and then wipe off the residual foam with clean cotton cloth.
Fourth step
Store the watch in a dry and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. After drying, apply leather care milk to the watchband.
If you are a sports enthusiast, there are many sports watches on the market that can measure heart rate and have built-in GPS. In order to have elasticity, portability and waterproof function, silicone or rubber watchbands are mostly used, which will still give off odor after being worn for a long time. Jolie Kerr, a cleaning expert at esquire, a foreign website, made three suggestions.

- It is also a good idea to use a small amount of deodorant or antiperspirant on the hand bowl. However, there are three kinds of deodorant: spray deodorant, ball deodorant and gel deodorant. If you use gel deodorant, it may leave a sticky feeling between the hand bowl and the strap.
- The strap of some sports watches is not suitable for alcohol cleaning and wiping. Take Apple’s sports AppWatch strap as an example. It is made of fluoroelastomer (fluorinated rubber) and has high tensile strength. However, I am most afraid of wiping with a cleaning solution containing isopropanol (alcohol), which may wipe off the outer protective film and deteriorate the strap.
- The common watchbands on the market are mostly made of silicone or plastic, which can be deodorized with baking soda. First, take a small bowl, pour in about a spoonful of baking soda, add water and stir well. Take the watch body off the strap, rub baking soda water on the strap, let it stand for 5-10 minutes, then rinse it off, dry it and put it back on the strap.
