What does Gearbeast say about cleaning these armbands? The box says to go to the website for info, but I couldn't find it there.

There was no information included with the armband that discussed cleaning. I would think that mild soap and water would work well on it. Haven't had to wash it as of yet.

If you use the pads quite a bit they need to be washed or rinsed off, probably oil from your skin. Then they work again. Sometimes maybe they are not be pressed hard enough onto your skin, esp if they haven't been washed. Make sure the connections are all pushed in and attached. Other than this I don't know. Hope this helps! :)

Mine aren't dirty enough to warrant a cleaning. Suggest send it back to manufacturer or buy a new one (doubt they take trade-ins, eh...)

I have washed them in water. They seem to work afterwards. I would reccomend allowing them to dry completely before you use them after a wash. What works better and faster then washing them is to take them outside and spray them with a can of compressed air you use on electronics to remove the dust. This works better and they can be used right after. Note that should you choose to was them you run the risk of mold or mildew within the filter if they do not dry properly.

All my cycling gear gets machine washed in a mild detergent and air dried. I should point out that these sleeves did not make the cut. They proved to be hot in hot weather and were given away.

This is something that is not listed anywhere on the bag they came in.Again, you can do what i do and use sunscreen on the exposed skin NOT covered by the gloves. It's never wrong to take precautions. I hope this is somewhat helpful to you.

Yes. I feel like this case is very poorly made and the armband is just a generic band you can find at any sport equipment store. I don't use this case anymore. I just use the clip the MP3 came with when I'm at the gym.

Nope! I killed mine with sweat after a few months. But I loved it while it lasted. that was back in 2011. but I'm about to purchase another one, because I haven't found another one that I liked as much. another user suggested not clipping it on your shirt, but instead on your shorts so that it gets less moisture. I think that's probably a good idea. you'll have to get new earbuds for that, as the included ones are short, but you'd wanna do that anyway.

Gear Beast Premium Armbands are made from material that does not stretch making it better suited for activities like running, hiking and biking than activities that require flexing like weight lifting.

I have only wiped them with a moist cloth and long ago I have washed them with just water little to no soap. Your best bet is to replace them. My experience is that the memory foam characteristic diminishes well before needing to clean the foam tips. I use q-tips/cotton swabs in my ears daily so it's rare that I see earwax on my foam tips. I imagine that if you are against using q-tips or if your ears produce lots of earwax, you may be inclined to clean the foam tips more.

i think it voids the warranty...use a soft scrub or soak them and whatever comes right off...

I ordered more than one set because if you use them once fir sport or work you need to wash them so they don't lose their firmness. Otherwise if you use them repeatedly and don't wash them they do get loose on your arm.

I've never had this issue with it. I usually just use my bare hands with some warm soapy water to clean them, rinse thoroughly, then let them air dry. If that does not work, I would contact the manufacturer.

That depends whether or not you take care of it and prevent it from getting dirty. All new pairs come with a cloth to clean your headphones

The glove is made mostly out of light weight leather. The best way to clean them is with the use of leather care products. I've used a product called Leather Amore, which penetrates the leather to get out the dirt and grime and boosts the life of the leather with oils and conditioners. Throwing these gloves in the washing machine or soaking them would not be recommended. Once they dry out from that cycle, the leather will most likely be damaged and tends to split after a while, right at the stitch points usually. If you want something for the short term to reduce the stink of these being hand shoes, try a small spritz of Febreeze and keep the gloves on top of your gym bag to air dry. The number one issue with durability on these gloves is keeping the leather parts soft. Once they harden, the damaging effects have set in.

Hi Carolyn Grace Hendrex,Aren't you nice to answer my questions; thank you so much! I appreciate your advice and am planning my own hamman experience!One more question, though. How do I clean my glove?Thanks again,vetinarisgirl

Brian, I've tried soaking the pads in warm soapy water to loosen some of the dirt before I wash them in cold water. I think the pads say "do not use bleach". I finally got so frustrated that I ordered new pads because they seem to be impossible to clean after a couple of uses. If you hear from anyone else, I'd be interested in their results.Thanks,Stephanie Kentala
