I don't go there anymore... I buy too much stuff! They have been out of bands for a while which is why I suggested the other site. My wife always gets mad when she sees CountyComm on the charge card.
Have any of you been successful in de-funking a nylon band? I have tried most everything I know to get the odor out and it just won't budge.
I'm not a stinky individual, I promise.
This band has absolutely no wear on it at all and I hate to throw it away, but I don't know what else to do.
I have a suggestion. Take the watch off the band and put the band on a belt loop of a dirty pair of shorts or pants and run it through the washer machine. At this point, what would it hurt?

I have tried that.
I also soaked it for an hour in Mr. Clean with Gain and rinsed it well. It seemed ok at first after that, but by the next day it was smelling again.
Gonna sound weird but, I was helping my brother with the fuel line on his truck a couple weeks ago and got gas all over me, and in particular my watch. Honestly not sure if it was the gas or the dawn I used to clean up but no odor on my nato strap.
A lingerie bag. You can use a pillowcase, knotted closed too.I drop mine in a pot of boiling water with a tablespoon of bleach. Turn off the fire andet it soak for a few minutes. Air dry
.
Also - run it through the washer on your next load of clothes. Drop it in a small laundry mesh bag with the rest of the clothes. Forget the name of that little bag.
