How often should you clean the leather watch band?

To keep your leather straps in good condition, you should clean them every 2 weeks. Watch straps that you don’t wear often don’t need much cleaning because they’re less exposed to sweat and dirt. On the other hand, watch bands used in hot and humid climates need to be cleaned more often.

Similarly, in summer, leather straps will need to be cleaned more often than in winter.

In general, anytime there is a lot of sweat or moisture, leather should be cleaned more often to prevent sweat stains and odors from appearing.
