Stainless steel straps are sturdy and reliable, and seem to be easier to handle than leather straps. In fact, this is not the case. The crevices of stainless steel watchbands are easy to accumulate dirt and are not easy to clean. Long-term accumulation will not only make the watchband lose its original metallic luster, but also breed a lot of bacteria, which is harmful to health. So how do you clean the stainless steel watch band? Below we will teach you two ways to easily clean the steel watch band.
