清洁Apple Watch及其表带不容忽视。它可以清除接触到的所有物体（包括皮肤）上的污垢、碎屑、身体油脂、汗水和其他污染物，从而帮助保持这两种物品的完整性
扬声器(Speaker)端口也不安全。事实上，它们是大多数污垢和污垢的典型聚集地。通过正确的清洁技术和一点护理，您可以轻松地让您喜爱的时计焕然一新。
表带也需要定期清洁。但您肯定不想使用强力清洁剂来损坏您的表带。不用担心，有一些清洁方法(cleaning methods)可以让旧表带恢复旧表带的光泽。就像清洁 iPhone 一样，Apple Watch也应该定期、分阶段清洁。
使用什么清洁产品和不使用什么清洁产品
苹果(Apple)警告其客户在清洁设备时切勿使用研磨材料。因此，请勿在Apple Watch上使用任何旧抹布或纸巾。最好的选择是使用不起毛的超细纤维布。这些在任何有清洁产品的商店都很容易买到。您还可以使用棉签清洁手表上难以触及的部位。
关于清洁剂，苹果(Apple)警告切勿使用漂白剂、过氧化氢、家庭清洁剂或肥皂。它们的攻击性太大，很容易损坏您的手表。作为液体，它们还可能进入手表的角落和缝隙，从内部损坏手表。干布通常足以清除大部分污垢，但如有必要，您也可以使用清水。但是，切勿将手表浸入水下进行清洁(never submerge your watch underwater to clean it)。相反，只需用它来润湿无绒布即可。
如果需要对Apple Watch进行消毒，请使用 70% 异丙醇湿巾代替水。它比外用酒精蒸发得更快，并且可以安全地代替水使用。但是，再次强调，不要将您的手表浸入此解决方案中；用它来弄湿你的布。其他可安全清洁Apple Watch的产品包括Clorox 消毒湿巾(Clorox Disinfecting Wipes)和 75% 乙醇湿巾。但是，如果表带由织物或皮革制成，请勿使用这些消毒产品来清洁表带。它可能会毁了它。
您可能会想在Apple Watch(Apple Watch)上使用压缩空气或超声波清洁，但Apple不建议这样做。Apple Watch(Apple Watches)是精密的科技产品，气压和外部热源很容易损坏它们。
如何正确清洁(Clean)和干燥您的 Apple Watch(Dry Your Apple Watch)
在开始清洁Apple Watch之前，请将其从充电器中取出。您还应该取下腕带，尤其是皮革制成的腕带。只需(Just)按住手表背面顶部和底部的表带按钮，然后向左或向右滑出腕带即可。
皮革(Leather)是一种敏感材料，应始终单独清洁。我们稍后会详细讨论这一点。
要清洁 Apple Watch：
- 把它关掉。
- 用干净、干燥的无绒布擦拭整个手表。然后，您可以轻轻擦拭有更顽固污垢的地方。
- 如有必要，将布轻轻浸湿，以确保清除所有污垢和污垢。

如何清洁 Apple Watch 表带
如果您想让 Apple Watch 表带看起来焕然一新，即使在过度佩戴后，清洁Apple Watch表带也是必要的。(Apple Watch)但如何清洁它取决于您手表的表带类型。Apple Watch(Apple Watches)配备各种材质的表带，例如硅胶、不锈钢、皮革或碳纤维。如果您不确定Apple Watch表带的材质，请查看 Apple 的支持页面以获取相关说明。
无论(Regardless)材质类型如何，清洁前都应先将Apple Watch表带取下。(Apple Watch)这更容易，但在某些材料上，您可以使用手表本身不允许的清洁产品。您不想在此过程中
损坏您的Apple Watch。(Apple)
硅橡胶带
由硅橡胶和氟橡胶制成的Apple Watch(Apple Watch)表带，例如Solo Loop、Ocean Band或Sport Band，应首先用干燥的无绒布擦拭。这是为了确保它们上面没有灰尘。超细纤维(Microfiber)布是最好的，因为它不具有磨蚀性，但可以轻松收集腕带上的所有灰尘。
如果腕带上有顽固污垢，可以用清水润湿超细纤维布。另外，在上面擦一些防过敏的洗手液。确保肥皂非常温和，否则可能会损坏硅胶带。完成后，洗掉肥皂残留物。接下来，用无磨损的干净布擦干Apple Watch表带，然后彻底风干。
只有当Apple Watch及其表带完全干燥时，您才可以重新安装它们。
皮革表带
Apple Watch 皮革(Leather Apple Watch)表带需要特别保养。切勿将它们浸入水中或放在流水下。水(Water)很容易损坏皮革并使其变色。但您可以使用潮湿的无绒超细纤维布来清除更顽固的污垢。擦拭皮革时应特别小心，顺着纹理进行擦拭。
皮革(Leather)是一种天然材料，因此很容易受到环境破坏。将其重新连接至Apple Watch(Apple Watch)之前，请使其彻底风干。但要确保你离开的房间不太热和干燥。这会使皮革干燥并形成裂纹。您还应该避免将皮革腕带放在阳光直射下，因为它可能会褪色。最后，空气中过多的水分会使皮革发霉并导致霉菌形成。
使用(Use)特殊的皮革油和护理剂可以延长Apple Watch表带的使用寿命。随着时间的推移，皮革(Leather)表带会产生铜绿，它们会改变颜色或纹理，但您对此无能为力。皮革(Leather)会随着时间的推移而老化，尽管它看起来可能不是全新的，但它会形成独特的特征。
不锈钢带
金属(Metal)腕带很流行，Apple Watch采用不锈钢材质。但是，与所有其他材料一样，金属也需要保养。您不希望您的Apple Watch 看起来单调乏味。
清洁不锈钢可能很棘手。使用错误的清洁产品，很容易刮伤它们并使其看起来磨损。按照Apple 的(Apple)建议，您应该开始清洁不锈钢腕带，方法是使用非研磨性、不起毛的布轻轻擦拭以除去灰尘。如有必要，用清水润湿布。您应该避免使用刺激性清洁剂，但一些日常家用产品可以安全使用。您可以尝试洗洁精、醋或橄榄油来去除更顽固的污垢。但请尽量少摩擦，以免划伤金属表带的表面。
使用干燥、非研磨性的布吸干Apple Watch(Apple Watch)表带上的所有水分，然后将其风干，然后重新安装。
聚酯带、尼龙带和织物带
聚酯纤维、编织尼龙和织物材质的Apple Watch表带（例如Trail Loop、Alpine Loop和Sport Loop）应与硅胶表带进行相同的处理。用湿布清洁它们或直接将它们放在温水下。您也可以使用温和的低过敏性肥皂彻底清洗它们。不要(Don)忘记冲洗它们。
由于这些材料很容易吸水，因此干燥需要更长的时间。重新安装之前，请确保它们已彻底风干。您可以将它们放在阳光下以加快该过程。但请确保您至少需要等待几个小时。拥有备用的Apple Watch表带会很有帮助。
其他材料和材料
组合(Combinations)
Apple Watch表带材料有很多。许多人甚至为您的 Apple Watch 提供定制腕带(custom wristbands for your Apple Watch)。如果您不确定制作个性化腕带时使用了什么材料，最好按照 Apple 的说明使用干净、不起毛、非研磨性的布擦拭腕带。这也适用于任何材料组合，例如编织单环(Braided Solo Loop)带（聚酯纤维和硅胶线的组合）。您还可以使用这种简单的清洁方法清洁Apple Watch(Apple Watch)表带上的搭扣和带扣。
如果您有定制的表带，或者是从非Apple(Apple)附属的第三方卖家处购买的，最好遵循随附的清洁说明。
总而言之，清洁Apple Watch并不需要是一个漫长或困难的过程。借助合适的面料和配件，以及精心使用水和清洁解决方案，您可以让您的设备焕然一新。保持设备清洁不仅有利于美观：当您花时间正确维护您的设备时，您可以确保它在未来几年内继续以最佳状态运行。因此，不要忘记定期检查手表本身及其配套表带上是否有污垢堆积。
How to Properly Clean Your Apple Watch and Watch Band
Cleaning your Apple Watch and its band should not be overlooked. It helps maintain the integrity of both items by removing dirt, debris, body oils, sweat, and other pollutants from everything it touches, including your skin
Speaker ports are not safe either. In fact, they are the typical place where most of the dirt and grime end up. With the correct cleaning techniques and a bit of care, it’s easy to keep your favorite timepiece looking new.
The band needs regular cleaning too. But you don’t want to ruin your watch band with aggressive cleaning solutions. Don’t worry, there are cleaning methods that can return the shine of a brand-new band to your old one. Like cleaning your iPhone, the Apple Watch should be cleaned regularly and in stages.
What Cleaning Products to Use and What Not to Use
Apple warns its customers never to use abrasive materials while cleaning their devices. So don’t use just any old rags or paper towels on your Apple Watch. The best option is to go for a lint-free microfiber cloth. These are easily obtainable in any store with cleaning products. You can also use cotton swabs to clean harder-to-reach spots on your watch.
Regarding cleaning agents, Apple warns never to use bleach, hydrogen peroxide, or home cleaning detergents or soaps. They can easily damage your watch as they can be too aggressive. As liquids, they can also get into the watch’s nooks and crevices, damaging it from the inside. A dry cloth is often enough to remove most of the dirt, but you can also use clean water if necessary. But — never submerge your watch underwater to clean it. Instead, just use it to dampen your lint-free cloth.
If you need to disinfect your Apple Watch, use a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe instead of water. It evaporates quicker than rubbing alcohol and is safe to use instead of water. But, again, don’t submerge your watch into this solution; use it to dampen your cloth. Other safe products to clean your Apple Watch are Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and 75% ethyl alcohol wipes. However, don’t use these disinfecting products to clean your watch band if it’s made of fabric or leather. It might ruin it.
You might be tempted to use compressed air or ultrasonic cleaning on your Apple Watch, but Apple does not recommend it. Apple Watches are delicate pieces of technology, and air pressure and external heat sources can easily damage them.
How to Properly Clean and Dry Your Apple Watch
Before you start cleaning your Apple Watch, remove it from its charger. You should also take off the wristband, especially if it’s made of leather. Just press and hold the band button on top and the bottom of the watch’s backside, and slide the wristband out, left or right.
Leather is a sensitive material, and it should always be cleaned separately. We will talk more about that later.
To clean your Apple Watch:
- Turn it off.
- Wipe the whole watch with a clean and dry lint-free cloth. Then, you can gently rub on spots with more stubborn dirt.
- If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth in water to ensure you get all the dirt and grime.
- If dirt is particularly stubborn around the digital crown, band slots, and speaker ports, use a dry cotton swab to loosen it.
- The grime that’s not budging should be washed away with running water at low pressure if your watch model is water-resistant. Then, hold your watch under a gentle stream to try and dislocate the dirt. Don’t use soapy water.
- Give a cotton swab another go.
- When you’re done with liquids, it’s important to wipe your Apple watch with a dry, lint-free cloth to dry it. Next, wipe its screen, sides, and the surface of the back crystal.
How to Properly Clean the Digital Crown
The digital crown can easily get stuck due to too much dirt gathering around it. If you can move the dirt with a lint-free cloth or a cotton swab, that’s great. But in some cases, the debris around it can get locked in, and the only way to clean it is with water.
Here is how to do it safely:
- Turn your Apple Watch off, and take it out of the charger. Remove the wristband.
- Hold the digital crown under gently running warm water. The best is fresh water from your home faucet. Don’t use soaps or other cleaning detergents.
- Turn and press the digital crown while water is running over it. Do so continuously until all the debris is washed away. You can use a cotton swab or a soft-bristled toothbrush to dislodge any stubborn dirt.
- Dry your Apple watch with a clean, lint-free cloth. Keep rotating and pressing the digital crown while drying it. Make sure to completely dry all the space between the crown, the watch, and the areas around it.
How to Clean the Apple Watch Band
Cleaning the Apple Watch band is necessary if you want it to look brand new, even after excessive wearing. But how you clean it depends on the type of band your watch has. Apple Watches come with bands of various materials such as silicone, stainless steel, leather, or carbon fiber. If you’re unsure what your Apple Watch band is made of, check Apple’s support page for clarification.
Regardless of material type, you should always remove the Apple Watch band before cleaning it. It’s easier, but on some materials, you can use cleaning products that are not allowed on the watch itself. You don’t want to damage your Apple watch in the process.
Silicone Rubber Bands
Apple Watch bands made of silicon rubber and fluoroelastomer, such as Solo Loop, Ocean Band, or Sport Band, should be first wiped with a dry lint-free cloth. This is to make sure there is no dust on them. Microfiber cloth is best because it’s not abrasive but can easily collect all the dust specs off the wristband.
You can dampen your microfiber cloth with clean water if stubborn grime is on your wristband. Also, rub some hypoallergenic hand soap on it. Ensure the soap is very mild, or it could damage the silicone band. Once you are done, wash away any soap residue. Next, dry your Apple Watch band with a non-abrasive clean cloth, and leave it to air dry thoroughly.
Only when the Apple Watch and its band are completely dry should you reattach them.
Leather Bands
Leather Apple Watch bands need special care. They are never to be submerged under water or to be held under running water. Water can easily damage leather and discolor it. But you can use a damp lint-free microfiber cloth to remove more stubborn dirt. You should take special care to wipe the leather by following the grain.
Leather is a natural material, so it’s prone to environmental damage. Leave it to air dry thoroughly before reattaching it to your Apple Watch. But make sure the room where you leave it is not too hot and dry. This can make the leather dry out and form cracks. You should also avoid leaving your leather wristband in direct sunlight, as it can discolor it. Finally, too much moisture in the air can form mildew on leather and lead to mold forming on it.
Use special oil and conditioner for leather to prolong your Apple Watch band’s life. Leather bands will develop a patina over time, they can change color or texture, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Leather ages, and although it might not look brand new, it will develop a unique character.
Stainless Steel Bands
Metal wristbands are popular, and Apple Watch uses stainless steel. But, like all other materials, metal needs care too. You don’t want your Apple watch to look dull.
Cleaning stainless steel can be tricky. Use the wrong cleaning products, and you can easily scratch them and make them look worn out. As Apple recommends, you should start cleaning your stainless steel wristband by gently wiping it with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to remove the dust. If necessary, dampen the cloth with clean water. You should avoid harsh cleaners, but some everyday household products can be safely used. You can try dish soap, vinegar, or olive oil to get rid of the more persistent grime. But try rubbing as little as possible not to scratch the surface of your metal band.
Use a dry, non-abrasive cloth to soak all the water from the Apple Watch band, and leave it to air dry before reattaching it.
Polyester, Nylon, and Fabric Bands
Polyesters, woven nylon, and fabric-based Apple Watch straps, such as the Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Sport Loop, should be treated the same as the silicone ones. Clean them with a damp cloth or put them directly under warm running water. You can also use a mild, hypoallergenic soap to wash them thoroughly. Don’t forget to rinse them.
As these materials soak up water easily, drying them will take longer. Make sure they are thoroughly air-dried before reattaching them. You can leave them in the sunlight to speed up the process. But be sure you’ll have to wait at least a few hours. Having a spare Apple Watch band is helpful.
Other Materials and Combinations of Materials
There are plenty of Apple Watch band materials out there. Many people even offer custom wristbands for your Apple Watch. If you’re unsure what material was used in making your personalized wristband, it is best to follow Apple’s instructions of wiping them with a clean, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. This is also valid for any combination of materials, such as the Braided Solo Loop band (a combination of polyester fibers and silicone wire). You can also use this simple cleaning method for closures and buckles on your Apple Watch band.
If you had a custom-made watch strap, or you bought it from a third-party seller non-affiliated with Apple, the best is to follow the cleaning instructions that came with it.
All in all, cleaning your Apple Watch doesn’t need to be a prolonged or difficult process. With the right fabric and accessories, as well as thoughtful use of water and cleaning solutions, you can keep your device looking like new. Keeping it clean isn’t only beneficial for aesthetic purposes: when you take the time to properly maintain your device, you ensure that it continues to function optimally for years to come. So don’t forget to regularly check for dirt build-up on the watch itself and its accompanying bands.
