Watch Cleaning & Polishing

Watches go through a lot. Daily wear exposes them to sweat, dust, water, grime, and skin oils, all of which can build up over time and dull their shine. 

At Mister Minit, we offer a professional watch cleaning service to restore your watch’s appearance and refresh your favourite timepiece. Whether it’s a smudged stainless steel case or a tired leather band, our expert team can help bring back its original brilliance.  

Cleaning isn’t just about looks, it also helps extend the life of your watch. Our service focuses on safe, surface-level restoration using trusted methods and materials tailored to your watch type. 

We offer:

  • External case cleaning — remove dust, oil, and built-up grime 
  • Stainless steel polishing — for scuffs and minor scratches 
  • Grime removal around lugs, crowns, and seams 
  • Optional ultrasonic cleaning for metal bands (available at select stores) 
  • Leather band conditioning — nourish and protect your watch strap 
  • Rubber and mesh band cleaning — keep it looking sleek 

Bring back the feel and freshness of a brand-new watch.

The Dangers of Button Batteries

Mister Minit wants to remind our valued customers on the dangers of button batteries.
We often have busy lives and can overlook the danger of little batteries lying
around the home within reach of young children.

Many customers are unaware of this danger that lurks when a button battery is swallowed. Batteries can get stuck in children’s throat and burn through the oesophagus within 2 hours. It is vital to get help as soon as possible. 

As a household service provider, we can help educate families and spread the word. In an age of accelerating development and miniaturisation of electronic devices, unsecured button batteries are becoming increasingly accessible to young children. Button batteries are used to power many consumer goods including TV remote controls, cameras, watches, calculators, greeting cards, scales, torches, and many others. They are also being increasingly used in children’s toys, novelty items and LED lights.
