What’s the best way to clean white Apple Watch bands?

[davidg4781]

I have a couple of white Apple Watch bands that have gotten a little dirty.

I searched online and they’re 5+ year old posts that are using mostly aggressive chemicals (soak in bleach for hours??). I tried rubbing alcohol and that had no effect on the stain.

Is there a definitive way to clean these?

I use a little bit of dish soap and a wet magic eraser. Give it a quick scrub, rinse it off and dry it. Works like charm for me.

Thanks. But that didn't work. Maybe it depends on what stained it?

I squirted carpet cleaner on mine. Left it a few minutes, gentle rub with soft tooth brush and rinse.

Late addition to the thread here, but for what it's worth, white sport bands (if that's what you have) are probably one of the cheapest to buy from wholesellers. Apple just made so many of them.

I hate to contribute to more waste, but you can buy a new one for under $20. $12ish if you catch one of those eBay sellers with dozens of them.

Like here's a 42mm White (Gen 1) that looks unused for $10 and free shipping.
