No better time to ask this since the strap god is around. How do you clean your strap if it is not waterproof? I sweat alot so after wearing for a few days strap starts to smell.

Guys, had check with kino on this.

Apparently they are still able to order the first issue released on 31st March and the estimated price for that issue is $20.50 with a $10 deposit. Collection at Liang Court kino.

Now who is the guy that coined "strap god"??!!

No lah... just sharing what I know only.

The strap will absorb your body oils, that is unavoidable, since it is leather.

The ways that I know that can minimise such smells are:

1. Alternate between the different straps.
2. After wearing it, you should air it and then clean it with a damp cloth before using leather moisturiser on it and then keep it.
3. Change to either a rubber strap or a metal bracelet.

If your strap has a smell already, I doubt that you can get rid of the smell, maybe by only minimising it.

You can get the conditioner and moisturiser from Strap66. I bought the bottles but only used it once on one strap. But because I rotate my straps very regularly and that i don't sweat a lot, I have not had one strap that smells.

Trust this helps.
