How to clean your Casio watch
Let’s face it, whether you like it or not, your watch gets dirty, and if you’re a heavy sweater, it also smells odd. Whether you have a Casio or a Seiko watch, this article will lead you through the process of cleaning your watch step by step, with the greatest results.
Step 1: Inspection
Cleaning your watch is an opportunity to check it (with a magnifying glass from Dad’s table) and see how it’s holding up. Look for any damage that might allow moisture to get in. Keep a close eye on the condition of the crown and any other moving elements. Examine the crystal’s base in the same way. If your crystal is loose from its base or has dust in it, get your watch professionally examined and cleaned by a watch repair.
Step 2: Remove the Bracelet or Strap
Remove the band or strap from your watch with a good spring bar tool, assuming you will not hesitate to aid yourself. This will aid in the cleaning of one of the dirtiest portions of your watch, the inside side of the lugs and the bracelet’s end links. The straps are the same, but they don’t have any links and will be removed in the same manner. Remove it and set it away. Cleaning will be easier and more thorough if you remove your bracelet.
Step 3: Wipe the Watch
Wipe every corner, edge, nook, and etching, especially from the crown, using packaged wipes (easily accessible from mobile accessory shops). A quick once-over shouldn’t take more than a minute, and with the watch generally clean, you’ll be able to see any stubborn stains or dirt deposits plainly.
Step 4: Wooden pick (Or Brush) Time
Take a matchstick and snip off the hard brittle tip if any sticky filth does not come off with only a wipe. Then, delicately wrap the toothpick in the wipe’s edge (make sure it’s not too firm) and gently push it into the trouble regions. If the cleaning has disturbed any of the dirt that has accumulated over time, gently brush it away with a soft brittle toothbrush. Keep in mind that softer metals or chrome finish might be harmed by something as simple as a wooden pick, so clean as thoroughly as possible, especially on sapphire crystal. If you’re not sure if you should scratch, have it serviced by a professional.
Step 5: Microfiber touch
Finish with a soft, new microfiber that will swiftly absorb any excess moisture, whether it’s from your hands or perspiration. Wrap the cloth around your finger and wipe the crystal dome edge and bezel edges, as well as the inner lugs and case back, using your nail.
You now have one watch, preferably one that has been cleaned. If you removed your bracelet/strap, follow the above steps for cleaning a bracelet, but instead of giving it a warm soapy bath, brushing it clean with a toothbrush, and drying it with a paper towel, you can give it a warm soapy bath, brushing it clean with a toothbrush, and then drying it with a paper towel. Remember not to scrape your bracelet on any hard surface or metal since chrome plating has pointed sharp edges that cause the majority of the damage.
Remember to remove your spring bars or pins, and pay special attention to the end links, since this is where perspiration collects and destroys the shine. Take additional care with the clasp to avoid extra parts that collect there due to wetsuits or scraping against surfaces as you sit and place your arms on a table or elsewhere. If your bracelet clasp is intricate, like the ones on Casio G-shocks bands, it may be swiftly dried with a microfiber cloth after it’s clean.
