How to clean your Apple Watch:

- You should note that you should avoid soaps and other cleaning products
- Now, dry your Apple Watch with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth, including the surface of the back crystal.
How to clean your Apple Watch band
Remove the band from your Apple Watch before cleaning. Then for the leather bands, clean it with a lint-free cloth and if necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water.
You should note that leather bands aren’t water resistant, hence don’t soak leather bands in water.
If your watch has a Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop, Sport Band, Sport Loop, Ocean Band, Alpine Loop, or Trail Loop style band, then you can also use mild hypoallergenic hand soap for cleaning.
Let the band air dry thoroughly before you attach it to your Apple Watch.
Should you use disinfectant to clean Apple Watch
If you are worrying that should you use disinfectant to clean your Apple Watch or not, then know that Apple says while “using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe, 75 percent ethyl alcohol wipe, or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the exterior surfaces of your Apple Watch.” However, you should not use it on fabric or leather bands. However, don’t use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
