Cleaning Cloth Suggestions

I am a fanatic about cleaning my watches each night when I take them off. Does anyone have any suggestions what cleaning cloths to use that will NOT scratch the cases but will remove any smudges or oils from everyday wear? Thanks in advance for your ideas!!!

I use Wrist Clean. They have a full line of watch care products. They clean and shine my watches. Highly recommended!

I use these products also, and specific microfiber cloths.

Rubbing a dry cloth over a dirty watch is going to cause scratching no matter what cloth you use. You’ll need to at least rinse off the dirt before rubbing away.
I use Wrist Clean products but always after a good rinse.

These are my favorite clothes

I hope posting that doesn't break any rules. I don't want to discuss anything other than the cloths.

Go on to EBay and search for Cartier watch cleaning kit.

Cartier are the only manufacturer that does a complete kit with spray solution, micro fibre cloth and small cleaning brush.

It’s fantastic, really bring the grimiest Rolex to life.

honestly, by far the best thing to do is wash the watch under mile soap and water and drying it with a high quality cotton towel or maybe micro fiber... Comes out like new... when you use a cloth, you're just shifting the oil, dirt and dust around and can cause scratches.
