Whats the best way to clean seat belts?
I can only recommend mild cleaners for this-no solvent-based cleaners. The solvent-based cleaners can break down the nylon webbing and weaken the seat belt material, which is a safety issue. If your seat belts are very dirty, try lots of soapy water and a scrub brush, followed by a good rinse with water and then vacuuming to remove excess water. If that doesn’t work, try using a steam cleaner. Keep in mind some stains will be impossible to remove from seat belts due to the limited number of chemicals you can use to clean them. For proper drying, leave the belts un-retracted-use a clothespin to hold the belt out at full length. If allowed to retract while still wet, the seat belt may mildew, which is the last part of your car you want to smell bad-since it is in constant contact with you and your clothing.
