If the metal strap of your favorite watch is used for a long time or during the summer, sweat and dirt will accumulate between the links, and if left untreated, it can cause rust and breakage.
To prevent this from happening, frequent care and cleaning is required.
I will explain a simple cleaning method below, so I hope you find it useful.
Try cleaning with baking soda
The first one is ``baking sodaThis is how to clean using ``.
Baking soda is easily available and can also be used to deodorize leather belts, which I will explain later, so I recommend it!
The method is simple. First, we talked about it last time.How to replace the belt” and remove the metal belt from the main body.
We recommend that you remove this to prevent water from entering the main unit!
Next, pour lukewarm water into a container large enough to soak the belt, add about two spoons of baking soda, and stir.
Just soak the removed belt in it!
It depends on how dirty the watch is, but if you soak it for about 15 to 20 minutes, the dirt will dissolve and the baking soda solution in the container will turn black and cloudy.
Then remove the belt and rinse it with water.
At this time, if you use a toothbrush that you no longer use to scrub the dirt in small areas, you may be able to remove the dirt stuck in the crevices.
If possible, we recommend using a toothbrush with soft bristles.
All you have to do is wipe it off with a soft cloth and let it dry thoroughly.
Try cleaning your glasses using eyeglass cleaning agent.
Another easy method iseyeglass cleaning agentThis is a cleaning using ``.
All you have to do is read the instructions for the glasses cleaning agent carefully, fill a container with water, add a drop of glasses cleaning agent, and let the belt soak.
It depends on the cleaning agent, but you can finish cleaning by soaking it for about 5 to 10 minutes.
After that, rinse with water in the same way, scrape out the details with a toothbrush, and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
With either method, remember to wipe thoroughly and dry thoroughly at the end.
If moisture remains, it will cause new dirt and sweat to adhere!
Here are some ways to use baking soda!
Finally, I'll show you how to deodorize a leather belt using baking soda.
Even if a leather belt gets dirty, it cannot be washed like a metal belt.
Therefore, we recommend that you use it carefully and wipe it off as soon as you notice sweat or dirt on it to prevent it from getting dirty!
If you still end up with a smell as you use it, you can easily remove it with baking soda!
All you need is a plastic bag, a handkerchief-sized cloth that fills the gaps between fibers, and baking soda.
Wrap 2 to 3 spoons of baking soda in a handkerchief, put it in a plastic bag with the leather belt, seal it, and leave it for 2 to 3 days.
I think this will remove most of the unpleasant odors. (Although it cannot be completely removed...)
In addition to baking soda, if you have charcoal like those used for barbecues, you can use the same method to deodorize!
Please try it~
Finally...
This time we talked about how to clean metal belts!
If it gets dirty, wash it, but that's okay.Ideally, you should use it to keep it as clean as possible and wipe it off frequently.I think the secret to using it for a long time is to keep this in mind!
I hope you can use it as a reference again this time!
