Cleaning Alpine Band

Hello MMarine33,

You can clean your Alpine Loop using the steps below:

1. Wipe the band clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water. With these bands, you can also use mild hypoallergenic hand soap for cleaning.

2. Dry the band with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth before you attach it to your Apple Watch.

You can also find those steps in this resource: How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Hopefully that addresses your inquiry.

Take care.

I soaked my ORANGE ALPINE LOOP M in a solution of equal parts of 409 and water for about an hour, scrubbed it a little with a small scrub brush, rinsed and let it dry, and it came out as good as new! Hope this helps! Happy Holidays!

btw - loving my Ultra!

Agreed. I find Apple's recommendation doesn't do the trick on my starlight Alpine Apple Loop Band. I found this video but haven't tried it yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZJnu-L2Ulk

This might not be the best band to use in the type of environment you work. If I were you, I'd likely invest in an Ocean Band, which is made of a high performance elastomeric and can be easily wiped clean.

But to answer your question, I'd drop the band in some sudsy warm water, let it sit for a while, then use some warm water to rinse the soap and hopefully any dirt it's collected off.

Any way for a deeper clean? A damp cloth won't be able to really clean the (cloth) alpine loop.
