Seatbelt webbing

[Raven R code 281]

has anyone tried cleaning up their seatbelts by stripping them down and washing in the dishwasher? I figured the dishwasher would be gentle on the white cloth tags that are sewn on them.

 

Thanks,

Dave

start with a stalking in TSP

Then use the legs from old jeans and use safety pins to pin them into the Jean legs so they don't get bunched up and so the buckles don't dent up your washer

 

You might be amazed how well they come out

no, no, no,

 

get a bucket of hot water or big clean oil drain pan.

 

mix in around 1/2 of powdered tide.

 

leave them in there for 24 hours.

 

rinse the bejesus out of them in a bucket of warm water . . change the water in the bucket a few times . . there will not be a spec of dirt on them positively guaranteed.

 

lay them flat where it is warm and let them air dry or use a hair dryer.

 

you can get new webbing cheap at an upholstery shop . . any upholsterer can sew it on for maybe $10.00 a belt.

+1. I think I used Simple Green instead of Tide, then dyed them with RIT and they came out great!

The simple green is ok for lite surface stuff but the tide gets EVERYTHING out of them and there is no scrubbing required . . AND you don't have to smell the simple green.

I really like Simple Green for cleaning hard surfaces, but after using it on some seat foam.... never again. The smell just won't come out.

But it smells like a walk thru an evergreen forest on a new spring day!

I used Woolite and RIT dye, worked well for me.
