I clean mine with warm water, hand soap and a small nailbrush, getting about 80% of the dirt off. But I’d like to have them spotlessly clean, as in 95%. Is this possible? What methods do ye use?

I put them in a delicates bag in the washer. So far so good.

I’ll probably give that a try, thanks.

You’re welcome. Just don’t put them in the dryer as mentioned.

That's how I do it too, or if I'm lazy I throw the strap in a shirt pocket that has a button. Works well for me and I have washed my Trail Loop like that many times over the past couple of years. I don't run them through the dryer though.

I wonder if you could use oxy clean? Some of that “dirt” might actually be stains.

Since they are waterproof i shower with them. Soap the band a bit too.

Official docs say the watch should not be cleaned with soap, so I try to stick with that (although many others do).
