How do I remove perfume smell from a silicone watch strap?
Soak the removable silicone strap in warm dish-soap water, gently brush its ridges and air-dry; repeat with fresh water rather than perfume masking.
Why this approach makes sense
Start with the surface or fabric care instructions. A small test in an inconspicuous spot helps avoid damage when treating smells or residues.
Before you try it
Stop if the finish discolours or deteriorates; use a material-specific product rather than adding fragrances to mask the problem.
