I'd use water, soap and a soft brush. Though I'm not sure you can exactly restore that brand-new feel.

there are different ways, you can use soap, alcohol or the same products that you do usually use to clean your home

also you can use uvc if you wish so, but they are dangerous

 

just a curiosity what's the bronze contributor?

I don't know specifically about that band, but as far as silicone goes, from what I know, after washing it can get somewhat sticky. Which can be annoying if you have arm hair.
For a regular watch with a similar band, after washing with dish soap(as previously said), what I did was brush a bit of corn starch on it with a toothbrush(clean) or paint brush, to make it feel soft and smooth without any stickiness.

bronze contributor is you give them 5 bucks a month and get float plane and some other things.

Start by adding a small drop of washing-up liquid to the band and gently massage it into the surface. Once the entire band is covered, you can rinse it off with warm water and wipe away residue with a microfibre cloth. Magic erasers are another great option.

ok i will try that and all the other suggestions.
