It&#8217;s black. <strong>Have you ever cleaned it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nI don&#8217;t understand why this is one piece of jewelry that always gets neglected. Stretch the band out and <strong>look in between the links<\/strong>&#8230; You see all that gross gook fused in between the gaps and hinges and pins? <strong>It&#8217;s nasty and it stinks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nMost customers know it, too. They know that sludge has been caked in their crevices for 5 years or more. Who knows what it&#8217;s made of?<strong> I don&#8217;t want to know!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Why haven&#8217;t you ever cleaned it?<\/h2>\n<p>\nOnce a week you should take a damp cloth and wipe it off. Just try not to get the face of the watch wet.. You don&#8217;t want any moisture getting inside the movement, because then it would rust and ruin it. But you should be able to wipe the dirt and debris from around the band.<\/p>\n<p><h2>What are the stinkiest bands?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Spandex style watch bands<\/strong> are the <strong>WORST <\/strong>for collecting slime. They have so many moving pieces and parts that pull apart, <strong>lots of hiding spots for crud<\/strong>. Bands like these will literally <strong>leave a black stain around your wrist<\/strong>. It&#8217;s just like <strong>a disgusting tattoo<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve had some customers ask if it was because they were allergic to the watch&#8230; I really wanted to say, &#8220;<strong>No, it&#8217;s because you never clean it!<\/strong>&#8221; Just think of what your clothes would smell like if you never cleaned them. <strong>Hear me?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Leather bands are magnets for smells as well<\/strong>. Sweats and oils from your wrist soak into the leather and carry a lot of nice little stinks. Keep them wiped down once a week and it&#8217;ll take that smell away and also preserve the life of your watch band.<\/p>\n<p>\nJust because you wear a cow, <strong>doesn&#8217;t mean you have to smell like one!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>&#8220;Mooooo!&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>P.S.<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2CIQnlj\">You can also buy watch band cleaner HERE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Do me a favor.
