How to clean Milanese Loop (alien.top)

So I’m getting a series 8 tomorrow but with the default crappy silicone band but I have a old Milanese loop from my series 4 and I’m wondering how the hell do I clean the tiny chainmail like texture? Do I put it in boiling water? Maybe just hot water with soap? I’m just wondering what I can do to it without damaging it. Does anyone have experience cleaning those bands? :D

I soak mine in ammonia overnight every couple months for deep cleaning. Quick cleaning just some dawn and a toothbrush.

Gonna try this. Thxs.

Sounds about right for what I thought it needs to clean

The Apple Silicone Band is my favorite Apple Watch band, I don't think it is crappy at all.

It used to be my favorite too but the Milanese loop is so comfortable when I put on the silicone I feel like my wrist can’t stop sweating

Milanese Loop looks nice, but it's very unpractical

Basic dishwasher tablet. Dissolve in a little boiling water. Let cool a little. Drop band in overnight.

Dish soap and a tooth brush, unless you do filthy work it doesn't need cleaning that often

I use a silver polishing cloth (read that tip here on reddit!)
