smelly comfort strapp

[chantezlebas]

hi everybody

i have a comfort strap and i like it a lot besides the fact that it cost me an arm and a leg.... anyway i´ve been working 2/3 times a week and the softrubber part is getting a little bit to smelly cause all of the sweat that goes in there ....can someone tell me how to wash it without damaging it...?

thank you

I've washed mine in the washing machine, gentle cylcle. Didn't hurt it at all and now it's clean..

I've washed mine, too, same way as Butch in the gentle cycle. I put the strap in one of those mesh bags that the ladies use for their "delicates", it helps to keep the foam backing from getting battered around in the machine. And, of course, don't put the strap in a dryer since that will really dry the foam pad out .... let it air dry.

Really? I just got one from Bass Exchange, it was about $40 altogether. Have you checked out some of the fancy leather straps? $100 or more!! No way, for me.
