- Dilute neutral detergent with water and put it in a clean and soft cloth.
- Remove dirt as if rubbing the leather belt gently.

Cautions for washing the watch and washing it in the store.
Lastly, I will explain the precautions for washing your watch.
Check the waterproof performance properly.
Even if it is said that it is waterproof, the degree varies depending on the manufacturer and the product. In this article, I introduced a method of washing the face with water, but it is only when it is completely waterproof. Please check the specifications of your watch in advance.
Metal belt checks the material.
For example, materials such as aluminum, copper, and brass are not suitable for the use of baking soda. There is a risk that it will turn black in response, so make sure that the metal on your watch is a material that can be used to wash it with baking soda.
For non-waterproof specifications, wrap is used to prevent water from getting wet.
When washing a non-waterproof watch, it is important to prevent water from invading through cracks in the face. Wrap around the face with food wrap to prevent it from getting wet.
After washing, it is completely dried.
If there is a drop of water in the metal, it can cause rust. Leather can also be stained or moldy. There is also a way to dry it all at once with a dryer, but a watch is a precision device. You’d better refrain from it because it can break down or damage the material due to heat. Let’s hang it in the shade in an airy place and let it dry completely.
