Common ingredients for cleaning moissanite stones include mild dish soap, warm water, microfiber towel, and a soft toothbrush. And yes, the process isn’t that intricate!
Moissanite watches are known for their brilliant shine and bold look. But even the most stunning watch can lose its sparkle over time if not cleaned properly. Dust and sweat can accumulate, which makes your timepiece look dull. If you're not sure how to clean a moissanite watch safely and effectively, this guide is for you.
We want your moissanite watch to shine like new every day. This guide will explain simple steps to clean so it will look great for a long time and what to avoid in order to do so.
Why Moissanite Needs Regular Cleaning
Moissanite is a very hard and durable stone, a 9.25 on the Mohs scale, and it does not scratch easily. However, as with any fine piece, your moissanite watch requires care to maintain the brightness.
Wearing it daily will leave behind fingerprints, dirt, and natural oils. Each of those build-ups are locations where light cannot reflect off of the top surface. Ultimately that sparkle you cherish is fading. Cleaning your moissanite on a regular basis will help to maintain the shine of the stones and the overall presentation of the watch.

How to Clean Moissanite Watch at Home
All you need is a few household items—no fancy tools or special cleaners, few items can do the job!
Just follow these steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Supplies
You will need:
-
A soft bowl full of warm water
-
Mild liquid soap (no bleach, no harsh chemicals)
-
A soft toothbrush or small makeup brush
-
A lint-free cloth or microfiber towel
Step 2: Create the Solution
Fill the bowl with warm (not hot) water and place a drop of mild soap in it. Slowly stir the soapy mix until it is dissolved. Avoid using strong cleaning liquids. They can do irreversible damage to the metal and even loosen stones over several months.
Step 3: Soak and Brush
Place your watch case (do not dip the whole watch unless it is a water-resistant style) into the bowl and let it soak for several minutes. After soaking, take the soft brush and gently scrub around the moissanite stones with small, circular motions to lift dirt without scratching the surface.
If you have a fully iced-out watch case, take your time brushing around every stone. Be careful brushing around the crown.
Step 4: Rinse and Dry
Use another bowl with just water to rinse your watch. Pat dry it with a lint-free cloth. Do not use paper towels as they are not lint-free!
Best Way to Clean Moissanite Watch Bands
Your band is just as important as your case will be. You will have to take care of each one a little differently depending on the material.
-
Stainless steel: Clean it with warm water and a soft brush then let it dry completely.
-
Gold-plated: Wipe it lightly with a soft towel. Do not scrub it.
-
Leather: Do not soak. Use a dry towel and a leather case cleaner to be safe.
If your watch features an entire moissanite covered band, treat it how you would the case – gently and slowly.
What Not to Do When Cleaning
Knowing how to clean a moissanite watch also involves what not to do. Avoid these common pitfalls:
-
Don’t use harsh chemicals or any alcohol products
-
Don’t soak watches that are not waterproof
-
Don’t use rough brushes, rough paper towels, or tissues
-
Don’t leave any water inside any areas with crowns or pushers
Good care is always better. But if you are ever unsure, please feel free to consult a professional or ask for help from our Glazed Diamonds care team.

How Often Should You Clean Your Watch?
For typical wearers, it is a good idea to clean your moissanite watch once a week. It takes just a few minutes and makes a huge difference to both shine and hygiene.
If you wear your watch less frequently or only for special occasions, we suggest always cleaning your watch before and after wear. Clean your watch before wearing it to stop sweat and dust from getting into the stones. You can also perform a deep-clean once a month if your watch has a lot of stones or intricate detailing.
When to Seek Professional Cleaning
Sometimes, even a lot of DIY cleaning may not be enough, particularly if the watch has full moissanite coverage or is quite intricate.
GlazedDiamonds offers professional watch care services that include:
-
deep steam cleaning
-
tightening loose stones
-
full case polish
