    you can put it in one of those lingerie bags for the washing machine and wash it =) I usually rinse mine after I use it and use some hand soap to make it not smell so terrible lol

    I wash by hand with warm water and a bit of liquid laundry detergent and then hang up to dry.

    I wash mine in the shower after my workout with body soap.

    I have a Polar FT7 with the strap. I always rinse it after my workouts and hang it to dry. Once a week or so when I wash my pile of bras by hand I throw the strap in with them.

    Ok, thanks! I didn't know if the whole thing could go in water or not and since I spent a lot of money on it, I didn't want to ruin it!

    I didn't do that with my first chest strap but I do with its replacement.
