best way to clean seat belts

What has everyone found to be the best way to clean seat belts. The been in a box for 15-20 years. They work great just dirty.

I recently sold a set of greasy dirty Pontiac belts on E-pay.  I just had two buckets, one with a small amount of water with detergent and one with clean water.  I scrubbed by hand in the soapy water and then rinsed right away to let drip dry

They came out great and I sold them for $200ish

Mine had some rust spots on the webbing so I used some diluted CLR & scrubbed with a stiff/plastic bristle brush + a degreaser, rinsed immediately with hot water & hung up to drip dry..lubed mechanism with spray silicone...I wuz pleased.

I used Woolite. Let them soak overnight and used a soft brush on the material the next day. Rinsed them and soaked again. Rinsed and let dry. Looks like new. I used woolite because it doesn't fade the material and won't shrink it since you use cold water. I was really concerned about not damaging the label  on each belt too.

That's an awesome idea and I'll have to borrow that technique when the time comes.   Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
