Is it safe to wash the strap? If so, hand wash vs dump it in the machine?

My strap had a sweat smell so I hand washed it today with warm water and woolite. After is dried, it still smells. I am going to try the 75/25 water/white vinegar solution tomorrow. I hope is works.

The strap should be okay to rinse with water and a mild detergent, although I haven't tried this myself. I'd hand wash it and let it air dry. If you're worried about odor, just wash it in a 75/25 water/white vinegar solution.

I have yet to use mine. But all my other straps ( Polar based have been hand washed and always cleaned up nicely without a nasty residual smell.) I make sure I use a sport wash for it. Just remember to take the battery pack off.

It is recommended to hand wash them, but I do not see a problem machine washing them. Once they become dirty, I will machine wash them.

I've never washed it in the machine. I don't think it would take it well. It really should be hand washed only. That's what I've always done.

Hello there, the fabric I am familiar with has a light rubber or pVC coating on it. If it gets dirty, it is recommended that you use water and a soft cloth (nothing abrasive) to clean up the dirty places. It is not recommended that you use heavy duty cleaners etc on it, so I would assume that also means you shouldn't machine wash it. It appears to be relatively easy to clean (of course that depends on what it is soiled with). Hope that helps, God Bless.

You should only spot clean with a mild detergent and dry flat when necessary. I don't think the perimeter stitching around the mouse pad would hold up to a machine washing.

It is washable; however, you would probably want to remove the straps before washing.

It is washable. I did mine by hand. The color may get dingy but it functions just as well.

You could wash it in the machine on gentle or just spot clean with a wash cloth or wet wipe. I have it in black and it never looks dirty. I've seen a few cream ones and they look good, too. The material has some sheen to it, so it cleans and dries well.

The care tag: Before washing remove metal spoon and splines and close all straps. Machine wash using gentle cycle,with cold water and mild soap. Air dry away from heat and sunlight. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Do not dry clean. Hope this helps.

I actually greatly prefer the regular strap. The soft strap has a much lower long-term reliability and requires more detailed cleaning, whereas the regular strap is secure and rinses off easily, and once you have it on you forget it is even there.

I just got it, and it says "hand wash only" on the tag. I might still try putting it on delicate in my machine then air drying.

No, it is not. The washing instructions are as follows: Remove metal splint from inside of brace and close all fasteners prior to washing. Hand wash with mild soap in warm (not hot) water. Rinse well and air dry. DO NOT: machine wash, tumble dry, dry clean, or use bleach or fabric softeners. http://www.futuro-usa.com/3M/en_US/Futuro/Products/~/FUTURO-Night-Wrist-Sleep-Support?N=4318+3294508029+3294529207&rt=rud

I wouldn't use it in a washer unless you wash it on delicate. I usually like to hand wash mine.

Yes. The padding on the Infant SafeSeat is removable for machine wash on the delicate cycle. Drip dry. The metal and plastic parts may be cleaned with mild soap and water and wiped dry with a cloth or towel. To clean the buckle, use a damp cloth or sponge. The harness straps may be spot cleaned. Never use bleach to clean this product.
