How best to clean a woven nylon band for Apple Watch

I have a light colored woven band that got dirty during a trip to a national park. I took it off the watch and got it wet and lightly scrubbed with liquid soap and a tooth brush. I was prepared for some damage, but after drying it fit on my watch with no issues.

The only way I got rid of the awful stink was using a soft brush with liquid detergent and warm water. And then I used some fabric softener (also with a brush) and let it work for about five minutes. Rinse again with warm water and it's good to go.

Hi

Apple's recommended steps for cleaning and drying your Woven Nylon band are:

• 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;
• Allow the band to air dry.

  Direct sunlight, high temperatures and humid conditions may cause damage.

Just be sure to remove the soap and softener throughly or the band gets stiff and might get damaged.

You're welcome! 🙂
