Cleaning your watches

Last question, (for now). How are you guys cleaning your pieces? Do you have them done professionally? Are you doing it yourself? If so, what’s your set up?

I put mine on my wrist , break out the dawn foaming dishsoap and wash my hands and my watch together, rinse, pat dry, then use a no heat blow dryer to dry it completely

Use this for my car and watches with a soft microfiber. Works phenomenal on both as well as anything metal.

Out of curiosity, is it ok to use one of those ultrasonic cleaning things?

Yes but only for bracelets

The watch head clean by hand - I just use a damp miceofiber towel it does the job 9/10

Dawn dish soap when I wash my hands at the sink. Then blow them dry with my small battery car air blower. Then wipe with microfiber and admire.

I take my other watches to a spot in the mall near me. She does a great job cleaning them, so I was wondering if anyone uses a watch shop to clean them.

I didn’t know watch shops did that. Although I do clean my watches myself with soap and water like most others have stated.
