Cleaning the Fitbit Versa Limited Edition strap

[NeutronStar]

I got the Fitbit versa limited edition last September with the grey cloth type strap. Unfortunately due to sweat and daily use, the strap gives a foul smell. I did not use it for few days, hoping lack of usage, moisture might help. I even tried spraying cologne but didn't want to ruin the strap. Since I paid a premium for the strap, could you please suggest how to fix this

Hi @NeutronStar and welcome.

Here is Fitbit's advice on cleaning cloths straps:

• Wipe down the band with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If needed, you can hand wash the band in cold water with mild soap, making sure to rinse thoroughly.
• Let the band air dry. Direct sunlight, high temperatures and humid conditions can cause discoloration or damage over time.
• The materials used in these accessories are intended to be worn during normal daily activity. They are not intended to be worn during high-intensity workouts or sleep, which could affect the overall appearance and quality of the accessory.
• To minimize discoloration and damage to these bands, limit exposure to moisture and substances like perfume, insect repellent, oil, lotion or dyed materials like denim.
