Watch Cleaning & Watch Repairs

Buying the perfect watch does not mean that this will be as an of your other usual purchases. Rather consider it as an investment that is meant to stay. A good quality watch will be your best friend  for years to come. But not only the quality of the watch matters. Proper cleaning and storing in Premium Watch Boxes is another part of the story, which we are glad to reveal for you. Check these useful tips and find out how to maintain your watch collection the right way!

Clean With Right Chemicals

A stainless steel watch can be cleaned with warm soapy water. It will help you remove oil and debris from the small creases. Do not dip the watch head in water, although it is waterproof. Use a damp clean toothbrush to loosen the debris. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as you can scratch the metal.

Rinse away the soap residues and dirt with warm water. After you have cleaned your watch thoroughly, pat with a soft cloth to absorb the moisture. The watch should be left to dry completely before wearing it. To add extra shine, use a bit of glass cleaner. Give your watch a complete cleaning once a month.

Chemicals should not be used because they can damage the surface. Some decorative watches have fine details that are so hard to clean. Use a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean around crystals and other delicate details.

Keep It Away From Perfume And Lotion

Keep your precious watch away from cologne, perfume, or even lotions. These greasy substances can gather in the small creases. Take off the watch from your hand when applying these types of products, and make sure that the skin is completely dry before you put it back on.

Daily Wiping

Cleaning is not so easy when we talk about delicate pieces such as a watch. General wear can result in gathering dirt between the tiny pieces. The process needs to be done daily, so dirt does not gather in the small creases. Each day wipe the watch with a soft, clean and lint-free cloth.

Find The Perfect Watch Box

Storing the watch in a proper way is not less important than cleaning. Scratches can occur if you just leave the watch on a bench or cabinet, where there is a chance of dropping and falling down. They are delicate and can be damaged if not stored properly. Also, you should avoid storing in extremely hot, cold, and humid environment.
To make sure that your special collection of watches  is stored properly, get a special watch box. It is similar to a jewelry box, but has large compartments that are specially designed to fit watches. The inside is lined with a soft fabric that is there to prevent scratches. Some types even have a glass top, that allows you to see your collection and pick the right watch for each day.
