Does anyone else have problems with their fitbit versa woven strap being smelly?  I have washed this as recommended but still very smelly and not enjoying wearing this now - otherwise happy with the Versa

Hi @cmf64

 

My usual way to get odors out of a smelly woven bracelet is putting it in a bag with a fabric softener sheet. When it's shoes, we put a piece of charcoal in them, but that might not work well with your band.

 

With your Versa, you'd want to start with that first to see if it helps.

 

I saw a few articles on how to clean woven bracelets and they suggest a combination of laundry detergent and solution of baking soda. Here is the article - click

 

There are many articles out there, but none for the Versa, so you'd need to experiment.
