    Anyone know how to get rid of this? I was thinking of slathering it in some hand sanitizer when I get to school. I don’t remember of that worked, last time, though. Suggestions?

    Also, that happen to anyone else? Soap scum on the resin band after on shower?

    I know CLR cleaner can easily remove soap scum but I’m not sure how it would react to resin bands. Maybe try a 50/50 mix with water and rub the soap scum off and immediately rinse it. I would test it on something first. I’m sure there’s a better alternative but this was the first thing that popped in my mind.

    I’d just soap it up real good. Should come off. It’s usually a result of not rinsing it well.

    KaBar41, why do you wear your watch in the shower? I know a lot of watches are waterproof and won’t be harmed, but I would just remove the watch if I were you.

    I would agree with CatsTide – try soap to dissolve soap. Specifically, Dawn dish soap is supposed to be good at removing soap scum. I would avoid the alcohol – it probably won’t help and may damage the band.

    I normally don’t wear it in the shower. The only reason I did today was because I had to shower in the morning. And if I don’t have it on, I take too long.

    There’s a reason why I didn’t use my G-shock and instead use my Atlantis.

    I use vinylex on my watch collection. Gets off anything except bug spray and keeps the resin supple.

    Toothpaste and old toothbrush. Rinse very, very good.

    I keep an old toothbrush in the shower and clean the watch with or without soap 😉

    I think hand sanitizer will do the same because the alcohol evaporates and leaves hand lotion to prevent your hands from drying out.

    Are you sure it is soap scum? Could be light mineral deposit if your water is hard

    I’m sorry, but could you please define what hard water is, please?

    I come from Louisville, KY. So my water gets filtered extensively.

    Hard water is water with a high mineral content usually calcium which often leaves whitish deposits on a surface after the water has evaporated off. Think water spots on glasswear.

    Oh Culligan Man? Sorry, couldn’t refuse. I like my hard water.

    Avoid alcohol? Eh, I guess you didn’t mean drinking it!
