To clean the Redmi Watch 5 Active, you don't need specific tools beyond what you might already have at home. Here's a detailed guide on how to clean and maintain your watch:
Cleaning the Watch Body
1. Microfiber Cloth: Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe down the watch body. This is effective for removing fingerprints and minor grime.
2. Distilled White Vinegar Solution: For tougher stains, you can dilute a teaspoon of distilled white vinegar in a half cup of water. Dab a microfiber cloth in this solution and gently wipe the watch. However, use this method sparingly as it should be a last resort.
3. Mild Soap and Water: If the watch is waterproof, you can use a very diluted soap solution (about one drop of mild soap per cup of water) to clean it. Ensure the soap is thoroughly rinsed off to prevent any residue.
Cleaning the Band
The cleaning method for the band depends on its material:
- Silicone Bands: Use a small amount of mild liquid soap diluted in warm water. Gently rub the band with your fingers or a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Leather Bands: Use a leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply a small amount to a clean cotton sock and gently rub it into the leather. Test a small area first to ensure the cleaner doesn't discolor the leather.
Removing Water from the Watch
The Redmi Watch 5 Active has a built-in feature to eject water from the speaker:
1. Wake the Watch: Press the side button to turn on the display.
2. Access Quick Toggles: Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face.
3. Eject Water Feature: Look for the eject water icon (a watch with two droplets) and tap it. The watch will emit sound waves to push out water.
4. Shake the Watch: Hold the watch with the speaker facing downwards and gently shake it to remove water.
5. Dry the Watch: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean and maintain your Redmi Watch 5 Active without needing specialized tools.
