fairy liquid to clean watches

[johny]

washing up liquid. a decent squirt will clean your watch and strap. just use like liquid soap. wash well and rinse. it cuts grime and grit. good enough for the dishes you eat from so good enough for a stainless steel watch casing. imho

Just be careful holding a slippery watch over granite counter-tops or tiled floors...

I would never use fairy liquid on my watch, it gradually destroys the rubber seals.
I remember reading on an autoglym car shampoo that washing up liquids shouldn't be used on cars as it destroys the rubber seals around windows etc, car shampoos are formulated without the damaging substance.

Good point about cars, simon and I'd probably not use washing liquid on my own watches.

Isn't that usually said because washing up liquid contains salt, to aid drying?

But since one's Rolex submersible is reckoned by the maker to be OK in the ocean provided, as they say in their booklet, one rinses it with fresh water afterwards, maybe you could do the same?

Whatever the truth of the matter, I'd also avoid bicycle degreaser such as Muc- Off, which is fabulous for getting rid of any sort of gunk, because apparently it can completely discolour your bezel, requiring you spend a ton getting it renewed by the manufacturer. Seemingly :rolleyes:

I love using Muc-Off on my bike after a good blast through the mud.

I guess, then, using the jet-washer to clean my watch is also a no-no?! ;)

Does it have to be Fairy?
Would other brands do the same job?
I would try it, but I don't want my watch smelling of eucalyptus and watermint.:)
