Stainless steel bands don’t tarnish easily.

But sweat, oils, and everyday wear can dull their shine. Wiping them with a soft cloth keeps them looking fresh, and a bit of stainless steel polish or protective coating goes a long way.

To keep your stainless steel band looking its best, regularly wipe it down with a soft microfiber cloth to get rid of smudges and fingerprints.

For a more thorough cleaning, use warm water and a block of mild soap, gently scrub the band, and then rinse it with clean water. Be sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent water spots. If you find dirt stuck between the links, a soft brush can be very effective.

To keep it shiny, steer clear of harsh chemicals and occasionally use a polishing cloth. With consistent care, your stainless steel band will remain sleek and shiny for many years!
