Icon14 Wrist Clean....WoW

A friend of mine recommended Wrist Clean watch cleaner.....and this stuff is fantastic. Simple to use, just spray on and work it in to the links and body and just rinse off. Wipe off excess and air dry. My sub looks like new and smells great to boot! They also sell cleaning cloths, etc. on their site as well. Can't express how well this stuff works.

regards

It's great stuff. Been using it for several years. Some here love it...some not so much.

If it's effective and reasonably priced, worth a spin. Otherwise I've been doing pretty well these years with Dawn dishwashing liquid and a soft toothbrush.

Your sub smells great??? Well, what exactly does it smell like and why is it great? I prefer my watch to smell like.....nothing.

Exactly. I've been using it for a little over a year now and it's been great.

I have used it for some time now. I will sometimes wear my bracket watches in the pool or shower etc. and will occasionally wash with various things. But every time I soak the bracelet in Vereat spray it always gets out more gunk from between the links.

As far as the smell goes, I have never noticed and I guess that is a good thing.

Easy to use, inexpensive, and makes my 16618 shine. Works great but only slightly better than Dawn in warm water. Slightly easier to use in included spray bottle. I like it.

...I too have used this product for several years. Also works great on the wife's jewelry. Occasionally it goes on sale and that's when I stock up.

OP, your thread just reminded to order some. I like using the stuff and works good on all watches. BTW, I took advantage of their 30% sale.

I use it as well, just like everyones said, it seems to get more gunk out, and it does carry a distinct smell for a bit.

I don't waste any money on specialized watch cleaners and towlettes, but that's just me. Top shelf of the dishwasher, low heat cycle, no heat dry, spot free detergent. Watches come out looking brilliant.

I'm with Abdulla, although in a moment of weakness I did buy some Wrist Clean once. It doesn't do anything hand soap can't so I have barely used it.

Now.......The dishwasher? an interesting idea

Aside from this....with extreme care not to lose any screws, parts, etc, I don't see how this spray really gets the job done. I do repairs, and sometimes hours in an Ultrasonic is barely enough. Plus, a nice blast of steam to get the crud out of hollow links. I really don't see how a spray and rinse can do even half the job. Not only that, but any dirt between the end piece and watch case are surely not addressed by this as well.

Interesting. What's the temp on "low heat"? How often and how long have you been using this method? What brand detergent?

The light cycle on most dishwashers is the right temperature. Don't use saniwash or heavy cycles, the temperatures are up around 150 degrees on most machines. Turn off heat dry.

I use Cascade liquid. I've been washing the watch in rotation weekly for two years.

Another user here. In fact, I just added a link to my Explorer and changed the micro setting. After that, a bath. All nice and shiny now.

Ballsy.

I'll use a tooth brush with dish soap.

I'd be scared to let it go in the DW.

They're waterproof to 100+ meters. If you keep the heat around body temperature, there's not much that can go wrong.

I agree with you, in theory. And I know that you are correct. Still...ballsy.

I'd be nervous it would drop somehow.
