How often should you clean your Galaxy Ring? Samsung’s advice

Due to its relative simplicity and screenless design, the Galaxy Ring might be the most durable smart device in Samsung's lineup — albeit a virtually unrepairable one. But even if it never breaks, it will get dirty, which might cause it to misbehave.

In time, foreign materials might end up covering the biometric sensors, which could cause them to stop functioning correctly. And if you don't keep the Galaxy Ring clean, Samsung says it might even cause skin irritation.

So, just like everything else, you'll have to clean the Galaxy Ring every once in a while. How often should you do it? And are there any special precautions? Here's what Samsung recommends.

Clean the Galaxy Ring once a week

  • Galaxy Ring users should clean the device once every week using a soft cloth or by rinsing it with a soap-free detergent. Make sure the Ring is dry before you put it back on.
  • When removing lotion, sunblock, or oil from the Galaxy Ring, use a soap-free detergent and rinse and dry it thoroughly, again, using a soft, lint-free cloth.

The Galaxy Ring has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, making it almost invulnerable to dust and water ingress. It also has a 10 ATM certificate, meaning it can withstand 10 atmospheres of water pressure, equivalent to an underwater depth of 100 meters.

Samsung also says Galaxy Ring wearers should avoid exposing the device to ink, oil, cosmetics, hand sanitizers, detergents, antibacterial sprays, and insecticides.

If left on the Galaxy Ring, these substances may cause damage to the device and/or irritate the skin. Samsung advises cleaning them off using a soap-free detergent. Once again, ensure the Ring is rinsed and dry before putting it on.

Last but certainly not least, Samsung says you should not use heat sources, soap, cleaning agents, abrasive materials, or compressed air to clean the Ring. Even ultrasonic baths are not recommended. According to Samsung, these chemicals and cleaning methods may damage the Galaxy Ring.
