Fitbit bands are an essential component of your fitness tracker, and it is important to keep them clean to ensure they remain hygienic and last longer. This tutorial will teach you how to clean your Fitbit band thoroughly to disinfect it and make it look brand new again.
The first step is to remove the Fitbit bands from the device. This process is straightforward and easy to do using the lever on both sides. If you are dealing with a cloth band or a rubber band, the process is the same, but you need to leave the cloth band out to dry.
Once the bands are removed, you need a sponge, running water or a bowl/bucket full of water, and dish soap. Dish soap is important because it cleans and disinfects the band thoroughly. Apply some soap to the sponge and scrub the band using the abrasive side of the sponge.
Pay attention to the little holes on one side of the band and scrub around them. Also, scrub the thin sides, the clasp, and the metal part that connects to the device. You can move the bands back and forth to separate them and clean under them.
After scrubbing, rinse the bands with water, wipe them with a paper towel or cloth, and make sure to wipe the metal parts well to avoid letting water sit on them for too long. You can blow some air into the clasp to loosen any remaining water.
The Fitbit band is now clean, disinfected, and feels like new. If you have a cloth band, you need to let it sit to dry, preferably on a clothing drying rack, so it can get air on both sides. Leave it overnight to dry thoroughly.
In conclusion, keeping your Fitbit band clean is essential for hygiene and longevity. This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to clean your bands thoroughly and ensure they remain in good condition for longer.
