Seatbelts: For spot stains use a fabric cleaner (303 Cleaner & Spot Remover™) 1. Pull the belts from the retractor and gently close the door on the belt, clean and allow to air dry before opening the door and retracting the belt. Do not use bleach, strong detergents, or dye on the seat belts as this may severely weaken them and render them ineffective in a crash. 2. Once fabric is dry apply a fabric protection (303™ High Tech Fabric Guard) 3. While you are cleaning the belts, take the opportunity to closely inspect them for damage and security of attachment, ensure here are no cuts, tears or abrasions (you should always inspect for damage etc if they get caught by a closing door) 4. After a while the seat belt mechanism becomes slow and / or will not retract when released. This can be avoided by cleaning the upper anchor; as the seatbelt retracts it leaves behind a film of dirt, which builds up over time. Use compressed air to remove dust and then using a Q- tip and some Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) you can clean the seat belt anchor / retracting mechanism. Once clean add some Plexus Plastic Cleaner to provide lubrication. Maintenance - clean seat belts with a 5:1 P21S Total Auto Wash / distilled water solution. Ensure thet are thoroughly dried Alternative products – C-28 Seat Belt Cleaner and Spot Remover from PRO® is a non-flammable and non hazardous concentrated cleaner that safely removes dirt, oil, grease and stains from seat belts Caution: You can be severely injured or killed in a car crash unless you wear a seat belt, even if the vehicle is fitted with air bags.

My daughter puked all over her car seat and the seat belt about a month ago or so. I steamed it and then used DG 451 interior cleaner. Smell gone, clean as can be.
:shead: What do you do if its the center seatbelt and you can't close the door on it :cig: I got this idea from Troy Armstrong(former owner of Detail City) :worship2: Get a piece of plywood and lay it behind the seat belt. Jam several cotton towels around the bottom section of the seat and blast away with a steamer or pressure washer if no steamer is avalible. Works like a champ :claping:
[...and blast away with a steamer or pressure washer ] Steamer OK Pressure washer in a vehicles interior and 'blast away'? I'll pass
Yea a local shop used a pressure washer to do the inside carpets one time and ended up screwing up the electronics underneath the seat....that was not a cheap fix. Try $3000!
