Does anyone use the Polar E600 heart rate monitors?
I love the technology, but have run into issues with cleaning them between every class. Washing in the locker room sink is timely and the boys travel to a different locker room across the school. Currently, the students use a baby wipe to clean. Unfortunately this is costly, so I'm searching for ideas.
Please help!!

Although I use STRAPLESS HRM's in Elementary School. I have used rubbing alchohol and paper towels to clean HRM backs. This reduces the cost, but you have to be careful letting students do the wiping with alcohol. |

HRM - We have an extra set or two of straps and have the students rinse them off at the end of the class - then I throw them in a mesh bag and into the dryer for about 10 minutes. The transmitters are cleaned with washcloths (cheap at Sams) and alcohol. You can presoak them in alcohol and hand each group a clean washcloth - it can do about 12 transmitters. Idealy, each student would purchase their own straps. |
