Watch Maintenance: Home Edition
So how do you guys/gals keep your pieces clean at home?
I have microfiber cloths, soap, water. And I try to clean my pieces during each rotation with a deep clean every month.

I usually give my watches a wipe down with a eyeglass wipe when I remember. I usually wear g shocks so I wash them with dish soap and a vibrating toothbrush when they get grimy.
I just wipe the crystals with a microfiber cloth after I’m done wearing them for the day, and then if I am wearing a highly polished watch, I will wipe the fingerprints. Every once in a while they get a soapy toothbrushing but that’s about it for mine.
I have been getting a ton of targeted ads on Instagram for watch cleaning sprays and it makes me wonder if it’s just a drop of dish soap and water, or if there is actually something special that makes the metals shine brighter.
Microfiber cloths all over my house, in the car etc. When I clean them I use fragrance free dish soap and rinse for a long time. i'm a bit obsessive
T-shirt wipe down, wet Finger to clean the crystal. Point is not to get them dirty in the first place.
Straight into to the utensil basket of the dishwasher (no drying cycle: they stay too hot).
All hail the microfibre cloth!

I do pretty much the same thing, and I too have been seeing those same ads. Not sure what the deal is.
