How do I clean a stainless steel or Milanese mesh strap?

Why do scratches appear on stainless steel?

Scratches on stainless steel can appear in everyday life through normal use.

Even though stainless steel is robust and durable, the surface isn't completely scratch-proof. Contact with hard surfaces, metal, stone, tools or other jewellery can leave visible marks.

Such signs of wear are a normal material characteristic and generally not a quality defect.

You can reduce scratches by handling your watch carefully and storing it separately from other jewellery or keys.
