I used to work at Apple and know the best £1 buy at The Range to clean ANY watch strap

If you wear a watch every day, it will probably get dirty.

For most of us, our everyday watch is no longer the classic metal timepiece, but a smartwatch that allows us to track our activities, send messages and, of course, tell the time.

From Apple Watches to FitBits, they’re not just a piece of technology; they’re a fashion statement.

However, constant wear can cause the straps to accumulate dirt, sweat and oil, which can make the strap look very dirty.

This is especially a problem if you are wearing a lighter colored rubber band.

Over time, your smartwatch strap can become a breeding ground for bacteria and allergens.

Regular cleaning helps prevent skin irritations and allergic reactions. It also ensures that your watch always looks sleek and stylish.

But how do you get a worn belt out of despair?

Luckily, a former Apple employee has shared a trick that can make your smartwatch strap look like new again. And it works great on rubber straps, too.

“I worked at Apple and I had the white band,” Katie Potts wrote on Facebook.

“And this was the only thing that worked wonders.”

The product is The Pink Stuff Cream Cleaner, which costs just £1 for a 500ml bottle in The Range.

“The Pink Stuff Cream Cleaner is the miracle all-hard surface cleaner that removes stains and leaves your surfaces shining,” it reads.

“This versatile cleaner uses 100% natural cleaning particles and is powerful against grease and dirt.

“And leaves no streaks or stains.”

According to another Facebook user, this really is the ultimate way to breathe new life into your dirty watch strap.

What can I breathe new life into with The Pink Stuff Cream Cleaner?

The Pink Stuff Cream Cleaner is known for its versatility and effectiveness in tackling stubborn stains and dirt. Here are some unusual and surprising things you can clean with this magical product…

Trainer soles

The rubber soles of your trainers can become worn and dirty over time. Put a little The Pink Stuff Cream Cleaner on a soft brush and scrub away the dirt to make them look like new again.

Car interior scratches

Plastic and vinyl parts of car interiors, such as door panels and dashboards, can accumulate scuffs and stains. The Pink Stuff can help remove these stains without damaging the surface.

Garden furniture

Outdoor furniture made of plastic, metal or even wood can become dirty and weathered. The Pink Stuff can help you clean and freshen these items so they look inviting again.

Pet accessories

Bowls, toys, and even carrier bags can get dirty over time. The Pink Stuff can be used to thoroughly clean and sanitize these items, keeping them safe and enjoyable for your furry friends.

Vinyl records

Dust and fingerprints on vinyl records can affect sound quality. Use The Pink Stuff gently to clean the surfaces and grooves to restore their original clarity.

“I cleaned mine today with Pink Stuff and it’s like new,” wrote Lorraine McArdle.

“I am very happy with it, because I wanted to buy a new one.”

Elaine Hall added that the handy cleaning solution “brought her watch back to life”.

You can also use the cleaning cream on metal and plastic tires.
