Common sense soft brush on rubber and plain soap and water rinse after in clean running water dry with any clean lint free cotton type cloth.

Just wash off with soapy water and a brush occasionally and ultrasonic the bracelet every six months or so.

Damp fuzzy microfiber cloth works well for me. Pretty easy.

Just a little helpful tip from someone that owns the straps to supplement the "common sense" method suggested above.

I'd definitely use a soft tooth brush to clean the rubber. If you wear the watch in the shower, or just clean it using plain soap without a brush, after a short while you'll start to get some white soap residue, especially in the corners of the centerline that runs down the top of strap. The residue will of course will not harm your watch or strap, but on the black rubber it does stand out, and will be noticeable to the eye, and not just with a macro lens or jewelers loupe lol.

Just use water, certain chemicals may do nasty things to the rubber.

Bam! That's it. We just want to be careful to not use hand soap. That usually has oil's in it for skin moisturising. Not helpful when it gets inside cracks and creveses and drys. Plain dish soap or dish detergent. Let's not make this harder than it is.
