·I usually just drop the bracelet in a fish if warm water with dawn and let it soak for a while- then have at it with a toothbrush under the faucet -don’t drop the endlinks down the garbage disposal 😲

·Right now I’m using a crappy one that’s for jewelry in general, it’s not very good, but it works just barely. I also have one from a dental lab (more powerful) but it needs a switch, that must be made of unobtainium, because I can’t find one. I’ll rig something eventually.

·Thanks for the reply, I will just have a stab at something on Amazon and hope for the best.
I bought a cheapish one from Amazon and have been happy with the results: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07531F3GW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

·Typical - clean it first using nail varnish remover (acetone) THEN Google to find out if it's safe/ok to do so..... ho-hum
( seems fine )

·I soak them is Isopropyl or Methanol first then scrub them with a toothbrush. Probably not as good as an ultrasonic bath but works fairly well.

··Spam RiskTake it to a jeweler who will probably ultrasonically clean it for free while they try and sell you something😉.

·You don't want to use anything BUT cold water, gentle soap and soft toothbrush. Anything else, including hot water, will eventually wash away loctite glue used to secure screws. And that is a recipe for stuck pushers. Speaking from experience as PO owner.

·Thanks, I will have a stab at that as it’s much cheaper than the cleaners I was looking at.

The standard operating temperature range is -55°C to +150°C, some anaerobic products will withstand up to 180°C and silicones can offer up to 350°C.

·I've never had any problems using warm water, maybe a little hot, but NOT scalding hot.

·Just leave it (and the watch) in your jeans pocket and run it through the 30C cycle in the washing machine. Worked fine on my JLC Reverso

··Melbourne AustraliaIf I get a really bad bracelet I usually affix it to a perforated plastic board with cable ties or copper wire.
Then I hit it with a Karcher pressure washer. Then an ultrasonic wash.
I used to put them in the dishwasher, but when Ms JiO saw one, she said "Don't do that again or new dishwasher, your choice!".
