How do you clean your watch with a leather strap?

For everyone with a leather strap, how do you clean your watch without damaging the leather band? Do you remove the strap and clean the case and strap separate? Do you just wipe everything with a damp cloth? Do you use a cleaning solution? Just wondering what everyone does?

Removing the strap would be your best bet and easiest choice.

A quick lick of the crystal, wipe w/ t-shirt, good to go.

Sounds like most remove the strap for cleaning. What about the deployment clasp/buckle? How do you give that part a thorough cleaning?

Remove the deployant/buckle as well and give it a good soak/scrub.
