How do I clean my Link band?

I have the Apple Watch link band, and it has a lot of nooks and crannies that have a lot of gunk built up in them. Everything I've read has offered suggestions for cleaning the watch itself or other easier to clean bands. What is the recommendation for the metal link band? Sorry but a dry lint-free cloth isn't going to come close to working. How would I even get one worked into all the tiny crevices?

Hi Eric

Apple's recommended steps for cleaning the Link Bracelet are to:

Wipe down the band with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth.
If required, the cloth can be lightly dampened with fresh water.
Dry the band with another recommended cloth (ie that is also nonabrasive and lint-free).

A dishwasher is almost guaranteed to discolor it. I would take it to a high end watch store or jewelry store and have them use their cleaning machine instead.
