It is Ridiculous - I can't clean a White Rubber

[zeus]

I recently bought a white Hublot for my wife with a white rubber. After 2-3 days the rubber start to be very dirty i have tried everything "Magic eraser " including , but NOTHING . NOTHING AT ALL . What material is this ?

Any suggestion ? I am very disappointed

Ok this is only a guess but try a clean white pencil eraser.

Mineral Spirits. Outside the US it may be referred 'White Spirit'. After the spirit, use soap and water.

This is obviously going to be on ongoing concern. Perhaps source a white ceramic bracelet?

Good luck.

Just a shot in the dark, but is the surface textured? You may want to look for a bracelet or strap that is smoother surface.

What have you / your wife been doing with this watch? I have had mine for 1 year now (worn it mainly in the summer) and it is still clean?

Check the gshock forum over on watchuseek.

Don't want to give you misinformation off the top of my head, but there are great tricks there, including how to dye rubber another colour if beyond repair.

White is a tough one.

How about a light solution of clorox and oxiclean in water.. maybe a 1-10 ratio..

I know it's not exactly cleaning it. But have you considered using nurse white shoe polish? That stuff dries well and covers everything from mud to blood to a nice pure white. That would also have a waxy finish to repel future dirt.

You're only supposed to use it once.

I'd appreciate some pics here.. I can't imagine how dirty the strap could get with only a few days of use... what exactly have you been doing with the watch? A sponge with hot soapy water seems like it should be sufficient for normal everyday dirt

[zeus]

Ι know it sound's unbelievable ...only after 3 days of wearing the color starp start to be dirty. I try many,many things i get also a answer from my supplier and his says that it is almost immpossible to clean it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now the all thing is about prevention . In case i buy i new one what material i can use to prevent the dirt. Maybe something with waxy finish like Spar sugested me. I was thinking about silicon spray.

Hi, have a look at This link

Peroxide solution and sun. People use it on white rubber g-shocks to remove ingrained staining and discolouration with great success!

Some pretty impressive results...
