Cleaning seatbelts, how?
Been out today in the kit and through lots of muck up during an autosolo. Car ended up being a mess covered in crap, mixture of grit, mud and
water.
Seat belts are soaked and now turned from red to grey/yuck colour.
I need to get them clean so thinking of unbolting them and washing them by hand in a bowl in some basic washing powder.
I can dry them in an airing cupboard and lightly oil the catches after.
Any better ideas? As it stands they would be UN-usable without being cleaned.

Soap and a soft brush, Not much more you can do with them.

I used fairy liquid and a nail brush, worked a treat! Just needed to wash off afterwards

+1 for washing machine, just go out for an hour thats all, does make a racket, no damage to machine either.

I put mine in dishwasher after a tin of paint was spilt on them, they look brand new with a couple of marks on one of them.
...not advisable when wife is about, she tends to smile upside down.

I put them through the washing machine first in a pillow case then again without in an attempt to get a few more marks out.
They are clean, with a few probably older oil/paint marks but certainly a lot better and one can use them once again without fear.
Few ding's in the washing machine tub but it still works OK.

I did exactly the same and it worked a treat. I put the buckle in a sock and it was as quiet as a mouse. Mine have to be
up to FIA standards so it is essential to keep them spotless.....I also put my Nomex race suit in the same washing machine at 40 degrees and mild
washing powder.....
