For those of you who use a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor, how do you clean the chest strap? Is it ok to put it in the washer? What about the dryer? Thanks!

I have a FT40 and just rinse it really well after every use. I haven't had it too long, so will have to wash it at some point. I will put it in a delicates washing bag so it won't get stretched or overly twisted. I do this with my boxing hand wraps as well.0

Thanks! I just threw it in the wash in a lingerie bag and will hang dry it. Hope it still works tomorrow!0
