Soft toothbrush and warm water. Sometimes I'll use a light soap

I just wash mine when I wash my hands with softsoap...I used to use the toothbrush and dish detergent, like dawn until I saw people saying not to use detergent so I figured softsoap is probably he most mild soap.

RSC in Dallas has confirmed for me in the past that Dawn works just fine as a mild soap recommended by Rolex. They of course mentioned that you need to use the versions without alcohol and ammonia etc. I believe this is always the blue color soap that sometimes includes wildlife on the bottle. I'm sure other similar products work great as well. Your biggest concern is deterioration of the seals. Anti-baterial soap for example is a big no no

I believe Dawn (blue bottle) contains alcohol (denatured).

Its like washing a car to avoid scratches in the paint. Use soap and water only.

I just ordered a ultrasonic cleaner (for other jewelry). I assume that would be safe on the band? need to suspend the watch itself above and out of the cleaning solution, of course.

Also, to those who use WristClean, does it perhaps leave a conditioner of sorts (wax, etc.) to give it the extra shine? have you compared the results using wristclean vs. just soap to see the difference?? I am leaning towards buying that too, but can't imagine it working better than just Dawn and warm water, unless it actually 'conditions' the watch afterwards by leaving some type of conditioner behind??

WristClean removes all the gunk and doesn't leave any film, which is why they shine so nice after. Soap will leave film.. just my observation.. I could be wrong.
