Discoloured watch strap

Has anyone managed to clean a discoloured watch strap. The methods suggested by Apple don’t work and my local Apple Store can’t help, I’d need to travel 60 miles to a flagship store

The really light color silicone bands are hard to keep pristine, for sure. Try a Mr Clean Magic Eraser, but if you can't clean it, there's likely nothing you can do about it. Bands can and do discolor and there's no warranty on that as it's a wear and use thing. I personally avoid the really light colors. And I have many bands for my Apple Watch as I tend to change bands out a lot depending on my mood and what I'm wearing for the day. You can buy bands on Amazon, which aren't expensive at all.
