Hair dye on my fitbit strap - help!

My straps are coral and I stupidly forgot to take the Fitbit off! Any ideas as to how to get the dye off?

My friend did this with brown hair colourant.

Is it an authentic FitBit strap which is the smooth style?

If so, try a small amount of nail varnish remover on the end of a cotton bud - test it on the underside first - if that works; go for it.

Yes it's an original one. Did remover work?

Yes - but she said she acted quickly.

You can purchase a replacement strap online too if it's too stained.

Good Luck.

Thank you. They're £90+ but I guess I can find a non Fitbit one on Amazon. Probably too late but will give it a try.

Message them and ask? Sometimes they are generous and may send you a new one if the Fitbit isn't too old.

Baby wipe? Surprisingly good at a lot of stain removal.

I will give it a try but suspect it's too deep for that.
