What you’ll need
- Mild soap or watch cleaning solution
- Water
- Soft cloth
- Cotton swabs
- Toothpick or small brush
1. Remove the watch strap
Start by removing the watch strap from the main unit. This will allow you to clean the strap and the watch separately, ensuring a thorough cleaning. If your Casio watch has a metal or rubber strap, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for detachment.
2. Clean the watch strap
Dip a soft cloth into a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently wipe the watch strap, paying attention to any visible dirt or stains. Use cotton swabs to clean hard-to-reach areas, and a toothpick or small brush for any stubborn grime. Rinse the strap with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
3. Clean the watch case
Before cleaning the watch case, ensure that it is water-resistant. If not, avoid submerging it in water and instead use a damp cloth for cleaning. For water-resistant watches, gently submerge the case in a mixture of mild soap and water for a few seconds. Use a soft cloth or brush to remove any dirt, then rinse with clean water. Pat dry with a soft cloth.
4. Clean the watch glass
The watch glass is prone to smudges and fingerprints. Dampen a soft cloth or use a specialized watch cleaning solution to gently wipe the glass. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can scratch the glass. Use a cotton swab for hard-to-reach corners and edges.
5. Reassemble the watch
Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling the watch. Ensure that the strap is properly attached to the main unit, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Take a moment to admire your freshly cleaned Casio watch!
