How do you clean a "water rinse only" chest strap? Is the gel water soluble?

Yes, it's water soluble. Huge tube as well. Works great and very happy with this product.

The gel is water soluble. It just rinses away when I rinse my strap after wearing, although most if it has been washed away be sweat before that.

I have only washed mine once and I just threw it in the wash. Otherwise if difficult I would wash in Dawn dishwasher detergent. I do rinse it everytime I use it with just water when done riding

I have never had to worry about that. I put the strap on dry and it seems to be picked up by my Garmin 910 almost immediately. Others I run and bike with say they don't have to moisten the area either and have never had a problem. Hope this helps.

Usually, i rub them with soapy cloth, then wipe them. Or put the whole thing in a sink and wash the seat all together. The straps dry within an hour.

Hi Anne, I normally just use dish washing soap and sponge to clean with water, next time use rube globes to prevent the membrane to adder it to you skin. ;)

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.

Not sure. I've gotten the strap and sensor wet when I rinse after working out but don't submerge it for a longer time.

I don't think cleaning the gel is possible, as it's made to gather dust and crumbs and absorb it. The color darkens to tell you when it's time to throw it out and replace it.

I have been able to keep mine clean with just a bit of water on a cloth. Spot cleaning. I use the bag nearly every day & keeping it clean this way hasn't been a problem. I even carry lunch in my bag sometimes. I would be hesitant to use chemicals on it... I really treasure my bag.

The directions were a bit ambiguous so I tried both. I've had the most success with EO's directly in water (plus that's how my other sufferers work). Just clean it after a couple if uses

It is not water soluble. I don't know if it is silicone based. I use it on rubber gaskets in the pool equipment and on the plastic fittings etc. The unscrew easily afer the season.

It is new. I have not cleaned it yet. I guess I should be able to wash it with water because it is made of gel on the inside.

So far I just rinse it off...no problem yet. Other reviews all positives on this brand!

I mostly just rinse it out real good now and then. I know they make a cleaning solution for them, but I've never it. If you're only filling it with clean tap or purified water I would just occassionly put some clean water and a small amount of household bleach, like 1/4tsp. at most and swish it around real good, squeeze some out thru the tube and bite valve and then thoroughly rinse it, and you should be good to go.

I let mine soak in hot water and then go over it lightly with a wet cloth and rinse, mine comes clean for me.
