Talking seat belt cleaning

I'm putting a set of later model three point seat belts in my burb. they are a light grey color with some light dirt on them. I was thinking soap and hot water with a soft brush, as I don't want to use anything too harsh that might affect the belt material structurally. just wondering if anyone has tried anything else with better results? thanks, Steve

Re: seat belt cleaning

That is your best bet. You can use some stronger cleaners and it probably will not effect the webbing strength. I use that purple cleaner (Castrol something or other. Comes in gallon jug at Walmart, auto section)on them, a brush and rinse. It does a very good job.

Re: seat belt cleaning

I waited until my wife was working on a Saturday and ran them through the dish washer. I did NOT run the retractors through.

I also popped the plastic covers off the female ends.

Re: seat belt cleaning

I srayed mine with (fantastic) a mild household cleaner and scrubbed them with a soft brush ,then rinsed them with a power washer and hung them to dry. It worked great as I have the medium blue belts. all of the grease spots washed off.

Re: seat belt cleaning

You can also just soak them in the sink with laundry detergent, rinse and repeat until they get clean...
