Does anyone know the best way to clean a Sport Band?

My white one has started to discolour and rather than bin it, I’d love to be able to clean it.

Any ideas welcome 🙂

I had pink sand band before and I would just take them off the watch and wash them under with soap and water. In the end it still discoloured though (looks similar like yours), I suspect it's because wear a lot of blacks for work :c I ended up throwing them out as I don't think I could recover the original shade.

I'm interested to know as well if there's any good trick to get the stain gone.
 
There are a lot of people out there having successful results with Mr Clean Magic Eraser.
I've personally used it on a white band with really good results and without seeing any issues on the top coating. Haven't used it on darker bands though. I soaked it into warm water with soap before gently rubbing over the band, but I guess you can use it straight on the band.
