Dirty Seat belts

Well I have only cleaned the front belts once on a car I owned a couple of years ago,my belts had a few stains on them from I think coffee,they were like it when I bought the car,I pulled both belts out and used two mole grips to stop them going back,it was all I had maybe some other clamp would be a better choice,I used a can of fabric cleaner and a small scrubbing brush and I kept wiping the excess of with a damp cloth,most of the belt came up fine but a couple of stains needed to be gone over again,I left the belts out overnight,they were still a little damp in the morning so I got a hair dryer on them they cleaned up well .

Some all purpose cleaner cut with warm water, spay and then use a small scrubbing brush or toothbrush. Don't soak or if you have one a steam cleaner and a microfibre. Gentle works every time.

I done cream ones by pulling them right out and clamping them out up at the top thus leaving the belt loose and then steeping in a basin sitting on the seat
I used a few things in the water including washing powder etc and a small scrubbing brush and kept changing the dirty water , I steeped mine for a few nights scrubbing every now and then . But mine were cream so very dirty . I then dried gently withna heat gun and while it was dry out side left the car out in the air . Upholstery cleaner with the brush attached was not bad .

Cleaning seat belts
Be carefull to avoid the more aggressive cleaners that contain ammonia or hypochlorite [ bleach] as these may weaken the fabric/stitching of the belt. I've always found cleaners that major on surfactants such as Vanish togther with a small nail brush to work well.
