Q: Hello. I have the Antique white Apple Watch Sport band cleaner

Hello. I have the antique white sport bands for my watch. They're very hard to clean. Is there anything special you guys offer to clean them?

Apple Watch, iOS 9.3.1

    Some people here have posted that they have used acetone or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Use either at your own risk.

    My daughter has the Apple Sport Watch with the regular white band. She takes the band off the watch and uses regular dish soap in water and just washes the band between her hands. It works perfectly for her. She is in college, so she gets the band dirty quite often.

    Hi Angelina

     

    To clarify: you are not talking to Apple here (this is a user-based technical support community). Apple does not offer any cleaning products for the watch or band (besides supplying a lint-free cloth with some models).

     

    Apple's recommended steps for cleaning the Sport Band are to:

     

    • Remove the band from your watch;
    • Wipe down the band with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth;
    • If required, the cloth can be lightly dampened with fresh water;
    • Dry the band thoroughly with another nonabrasive and lint-free cloth.

     

    To avoid stains or damage, it is important to always keep Apple Watch and the band clean and dry in accordance with Apple's cleaning and care instructions. Apple also advises that band colours may vary or fade over time.

     

    Note that trying to clean the band using cleaning products and/or abrasives is outside Apple's published guidelines, so may make it ineligible for warranty service.
