Cleaning the Versa canvas strap

[shaylee.dawn]

I bought the Versa with the canvas type material strap and wore it cleaning up around the yard. It is filthy now... Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to clean this thing?  Hand wash it in the sink and let it dry??

@shaylee.dawn hey there and welcome to the community. I don't have that kind of strap, but I remember having a bracelet made of similar material- the braided white kind and I remember cleaning it with dish soap and a little peroxide and then letting it air dry. I would make the solution in a bowl, let it soak for a bit and see if the majority of it goes back to the original color. Then pat dry with a towel to soak up as much water as possible and let it air dry... this is not the Fitbit official way (if one exists) to clean it, this is just my two cents for what its worth..

I washed mine with dawn dish soap and a light scrub with a scrub daddy sponge. Looks good

My pleasure!! A million years ago I saw a show where a nurse said that peroxide is the miracle cleaner of all things..human, animal and stains or dirt. She spoke the truth 😁

I wish Fitbit woukd have an official answer. I havw gone running with mine a few times and it's starting to smell a bit and wondering what's the best way to clean it. I thought paroxide may discolor the band (I have grey).

I also have the gray and am afraid of discoloration.
