- This works particularly well with discoloured white or light coloured Apple Watch straps. No messing around with soapy water, we go right to the hard stuff. This will get rid of all embedded stains and marks.

I don’t normally comment of UA-cam, but I’m so bloody delighted that this ACTUALLY works with much effort! Thanks so much, you’ve made my day 😅
Awww .... nice of you to take the time and comment
It really works. 5 minutes and my white Nike band looks brand-new when nothing else worked. Thank you so much! ❤
You're welcome!
Acetone for the win! I cleaned my white and starlight bands using this method. They were marked up from using the black rubber coated dumbbells at the gym and I thought I was going to have to replace them. I tried all sorts of cleaning products but never thought to use nail polish remover. Thank you!!!
Yeh, simple but effective! Glad it worked for you
GUYS THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!! Just have to rub for a couple mins and looks basically brand new and doesnt seem to be damaged by the nail polish remover (aka acetone bc i think thats the ingredient that actually helps to clean). Recommend
Glad it helped! You are correct it is acetone that does the work, and it won't damage silicone.
I had the Apple Watch starlight band that got very stained wearing a navy blue dress years ago. Nothing I did got it off. I wore it anyways playing golf baking in the sun. Tried the acetone nail polish remover today and my watch band looks brand new. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Blimey, that is fab - you certainly tested the theory to max there. Glad it worked!
lifesaver! i rly was about to replace my starlight straps (they turned puke-ish green because of what i do for a living but alas u saved me a handful of cash. tysm!!
Nice one. Glad it solved the issued
Thank you so much. It really worked and for a person who hates when white and cream things get all dirty and black and blue, this took the load off my chest. 👍🏻👍🏻
Aww brilliant. Glad it worked for you!
Saving my stained, yellow, ocean band!!
Nice one. You can stain it to you heart's content now without worrying 😁
You are an absolute legend! Works perfectly!
Aww thank you for taking the time to let me know!
I tried this and struggled to get it to work with normal acetone nail varnish remover, but using 100% pure acetone worked wonders!!
Yeh spot on. It has to be the 100% acetone. Glad it worked for you!
Thx , I tried it really worked, this is the first time I subscribed a UA-cam video and big thumbs up 👍
Awww thank you. I'm honoured 😊
IT WORKED. I’m so happy
Fabbo! Glad it helped you out
Thanks so much for this. I was about to replace my 4 month old Starlight colored strap. It worked instantly.
It didn’t remove any colour right? I’m worried about the starlight colour lifting off the strap 😅
No it won't remove any colour. The colour is blended in with the silicone, not painted on top. Too many people out there who don't know anything about materials 😉
Glad to hear it. It's way more effective than soap and water
@@drmousettethere was no reason to add the latter bit of your comment, I know it's mixed with the silicon, there's no reason to look down on people who aren't sure, ok… also, you have a typo in your comment it's not “too much cautious people”, it's “too many cautious people”… There are too many people out there who don't know enough about their own language
@@Bella-Matt-H I wasn't referring to you. You asked me a question (no such thing as a daft question in my book) which was indicative of someone who was curious about how it all works - cool, pleased to assist! It's the other comments from people who come out with rubbish as statements of fact, and then make people like yourself worry for no reason. Hope this clears it up and P.S. I correct my typo, Thanks 😉
Thank you! It worked really well.
Brilliant! pleased to be of assistance
Would this method work with coloured straps as well any help would be great
Yes all straps as long as they are made from silicone
Thank you so much !!!!@@drmousette
Thank you 😊 works like a charm
Pleased to be of assistance!
Polish remover is harsh, acetone can break down plastic and rubber, must use conditioner right after
Where on earth did you get that nonsense from? Silicone is a cross-linked material meaning that it cannot be dissolved, if anything it may swell, but only after very prolonged exposure. Acetone is polar, meaning that it is not compatible with silicone anyway. So in summary, everything about your comment is incorrect.
Can it just be alcohol or does it need to be actual nail polish remover?
No. Alcohol and acetone are completely different chemical compounds. It needs to be acetone. 100% acetone nail varnish remover is best. Very cheap to pick up too.
Is this acetone or acetone free nail varnish remover?
Good question - it's WITH acetone
@@drmousette thank you
Did this damage your strap I would like to know so I can clean my strap
Nope. No damage at all. Silicone is incredibly resistant.
Nothing works
Are you sure you weren't using non-acetone nail varnish remover? That won't work
This is bad for the strap. If you did it on a coloured band you would see the colour being removed.
It's not bad for the strap. And you cannot remove the colour because the colour isn't a coating. The actual silicone is that colour. You need to do some research methinks before making public statements.
