How to Clean Your Watch Using the HEIST Watch Cleaner
Share
Whether it’s a high-end luxury watch or a sentimental favorite, keeping your timepiece clean is essential to maintaining its beauty and longevity. The HEIST Watch Cleaner makes the cleaning process simple and effective. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure your watch stays in pristine condition without harming its delicate components.
Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, ensure you have the following items:
- The Heist watch cleaner
 - The Heist soft microfibre cloth
 - The Heist small, soft-bristled brush
 
Step 1: Assess Your Watch’s Water Resistance
Not all watches are made to handle water the same way. Before you start, check the manufacturer's specifications to see if your watch is water-resistant. For watches without this feature, skip the water and focus on dry cleaning to avoid any damage.
Step 2: Remove the Strap (If Possible)
If your watch has a removable strap (like leather or fabric), take it off. This makes it easier to clean both the strap and case separately, avoiding moisture damage to sensitive materials.
Step 3: Apply HEIST Watch Cleaner
Spray a small amount of HEIST watch cleaner directly onto the case of the watch. Alternatively, you can spray the cleaner onto the microfiber cloth to avoid oversaturating the watch. Focus on areas like the bezel, crown, and case back where grime tends to accumulate.
Step 4: Gently Scrub with a Brush
Use the soft-bristled brush to clean intricate details, such as the lugs and the links of a metal bracelet. For non-metal straps, lightly brush the surface to remove dirt. Avoid applying too much pressure, especially on plated or polished surfaces, to prevent scratches.
Step 5: Rinse or Wipe Down
If your watch is water-resistant, rinse it under lukewarm water to remove any remaining cleaner. For non-water-resistant watches, dampen a corner of the microfiber cloth with water and carefully wipe away any residue.
Step 6: Dry Thoroughly
Use a lint-free drying cloth to pat your watch dry. Ensure all moisture is removed, especially around the crown and case back. If you removed the strap earlier, allow it to air-dry completely before reattaching it.
Step 7: Polish for a Finishing Touch
For a final flourish, use the dry microfiber cloth to polish the watch. This step will enhance its shine and remove any remaining smudges or fingerprints.
Bonus Tip: Regular Maintenance
To keep your watch looking its best, clean it regularly with the HEIST watch cleaner. For daily wear watches, a weekly clean can prevent dirt buildup. For occasional wear timepieces, a monthly clean should suffice.
