Q: How do you clean the seat belts?
How do you clean the seat belts?
Cleaning your seat belts is important for a number of reasons. The most important is that dirt and grime can build up and prevent them from working properly, particularly if it gets into the guide/retractor. Here’s how to keep them in good shape:
Use a clean sponge.
Use a mild soap.
Wipe the dirt/debris off.
Allow the seat belts to dry completely before using them.
Tips
Don’t let the seat belts retract if they’re wet – they need to dry first.
Only use a mild soap – harsh cleansers may damage the belt webbing.
