What's the best everyday houshold cleaning product to use on a watch?

Also, want a good and safe way to disinfect a pre-owened watch.

Not interested in buffing or polishing.

Soap and water.

I am using soap and water.. dry it with hand blower (avoid scratch).

First time I've heard of blow drying it, but it sounds like a good idea!

ObscureLight · 9 March 2010, 05:24 AM

soap and water + some more soap and water :D. Blowing it dry? does wiping it down with a towel scratch the watch? O_O

I don't know about blow drying....better have the setting on cool air....& water spots??? what about water spots....I use 100% long staple Egyptian cotton towels, they work well....I use Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree liquid hand soap & Culligan softened water.....Brasso on damp Viva brand paper towls for polishing. Nothing's too good for my little babies.

I use liquid dishwashing detergent in a sink filled with water to clean my Rolex watches.

jnmarshall · 9 March 2010, 05:37 AM

Ivory and water. Pat dry with a cotton towel.

Watches, watches??? BAH HUMBUG!

....they're more than watches...they're our little friends on our wrists....we spend a lot of money & time on them, they never let us down, make us happy, don't complain, are always up for a good time....our wives & girlfriends should be so good. Take care of your watches gentlemen.

Soap and water - whatever is in the dispenser (Softsoap, etc.). Just nothing abrasive. Good quality cotton towels should not scratch the watch.

JP500 · 9 March 2010, 06:03 AM

if you take the bracelet off the case, throw it in an ultrasonic cleaner with some of the powder detergent. Works great!

JP500 · 9 March 2010, 06:03 AM

the bracelet, not the case.

I go out to my shop and spray mine with Clutch & Brake Cleaner, the wipe it off with my T-shirt. No kidding.
