Cleaning harness

Last week, i got a nice pair of Sparco harnesses.

As they have been used and are a bit dirty, what would be the best method to clean them up and revive them?

Soappy watter with what sort of soap do i use? Clothes one, fairy ????

I wonder if they could go in the washing machine? Maybe a couple of socks over the eyes to stop them making a racket hitting the drum.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I'd just wipe them with a damp cloth - use soap flakes in warm water.

Anything else and you risk screwing up the stitching.

Soak in a biological powder?
Or (don't laugh) how about dry cleaning ?

can you remove the buckle to put it in the dishwasher?

I could use it. Wife is not around, it's not mine, never use it.

I used washing powder and left to soak for a while. Made a big difference and got rid of musty smells. No harm to stiches as far as I can tell.

I have a red pair I got from an online scrappy, dirty didn't describe them. I filled a builders bucket with hot water and bio powder dumped the belts in leaving the buckles over the edge of the bucket,laid them on the patio next day and gave them a seeing too with the jet wash. Got about 85% off, good nuff for me

Can't help with the buckles Q, but whenever I was harnesses I just use a damp soapy cloth.

Soaking them can often leave water-marks that look more manky than the grimey stains you are trying to get out!

As for jet-washing... were you being serious? Hope you checked the stitches afterwards!
