Ink Stain on iWatch straps

Hi

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.

In the Apple instructions for cleaning the Apple Watch and bands, there is no recommendation for ink, or using anything except for water. If it were me, have you tried a mild, non-abrasive hand soap, to see if that has any affect? The bands are made of a polymer material, so not much can be used on them without causing permanent damage. I've used plain hand soap in the past to remove some dirt and sweat stains, but that is it.

magic eraser worked wonders!! Lots of pressure and had to keep working st it but very slowly my white rubber watch band was free of the stain.

You can try a magic eraser. What type of ink was it?

Hello- I own the original sport watch with white band and I've always used soft scrub with a toothbrush on mine, and it comes out looking like new. I've done this once a week, since owning it, and I got it when it was first introduced!

Good Luck.
