Blaze band smells awful

[MATanveer]

I was wearing the band while cooking, somehow it retained a very pungent smell. Already washed it but the smell is still there. Any idea how to get rid of the smell?

Hello and welcome to the forums @MATanveer

I guess putting it in a plastic bag with a fabric softener sheet isn't quite going to take care of it. When people have smelly shoes, I've read where putting charcoal and/or newspapers in them have helped. Might work if you put some charcoal in  bag and seal the band in with it for a day?

Let us know if you find a solution. Many of us wear a Blaze!

Alrighty @Odyssey13!

I will try that for sure. I've half a mind to change the band all together.

Thanks!

@MATanveer  you could keep the old band for cooking and the new band for the rest of the time.

Hey @Odyssey13, Sorry for the late reply! Didn't notice the email.
Anyway, the smell kinda diffused out. I soaked it in dishwashing liquid over night and then locked it with a fabric softener in a zip lock bag. Seemed to work.

Thanks!

What were you cooking that stank so bad?

Thanks for the update @MATanveer

Knowing how you solved your problem will help others who may encounter something similar.

Now back to stepping!

@Shawnj88 It wasn't the food that stank, the residual smell of burnt onions and garlic. I need to ask you this, have you ever cooked with spices? If not, you have no idea about residual smell.

Yeah I usually spice my food not my watch. Sorry maybe you were in a food fight with your watch because it said you were over budget on the calories.
