- Clean your band and wrist regularly - especially after intense workouts or
- Rinse the band with water or wipe it with a small amount of rubbing Do NOT use hand soap, dish soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes or household cleaners, which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate your skin.

If your Active gets wet, we advise you to remove it until dry. It is not good for your skin to wear a wet band for long periods of time.
