Jet washing them is the way forward!!!! I always work some fabric cleaner into mine and leave for 10 mins, then pull the full length of the belt outside and get my missus to press it against the pillar inside. Dont forget to put a microfibre underneath the belt on the sill so your not dragging it on your paint. Jobs a gud en

One thing that may work could be bicarbonate of soda in water or brake cleaner ( for this get a disposable cloth and pour a bit on the the cloth or seat belt itself and rub till clean it dries in a a couple of minuets and not water is needed )

okay brake cleaner will litterally either stain or bleach the belts...... iv used vanish oxi action before worked well
Pull all of your belt out of the door, and put a sheet over the bodywork to stop any crap flicking onto your paintwork.
I used AG Interior shampoo, A dish brush similar to below, A bucket of soapy water (car shampoo is what I used), Microfibres and a lot of elbow grease.
Spray the AG on to a section first, let it sink in, then scrub it hard, then get some suds from the bucket and scrub at it again. Keep rinsing the brush in the bucket and scrubbing the suds. Apply more AG if needed.
Work about 6inches at a time and wipe down with the MF cloth.
Leave to dry either out of the car, or fully extend them around the steering wheel/seats etc to let them dry properly before retracting them to the real to prevent rust.

Correct, so you found your answer to what you wanted to know. You then posted a "comment".

I actually don't see what's wrong, the thread has been expanded with further views and convo on ways to clean the seat belts (which looks like a common problem) and I haven't created more traffic on the forum by creating a new thread.

I used this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_204441_langId_-1_categoryId_255236 sprayed on & worked it in with the brush, then pulled belts out of the car & trapped it in the door then jet washed it off, came up nice & new.

As its been stated above..just make sure. You get them nice and dry before you put them back in..a mate did his and they went mouldy..made it a nightmare to get rid of it..in the end jet washed them trapped out of car then fully extending them and leaving heaters on full blast and a window open slightly to get rid of the water..made double the work..oops.

Some good info, really need to do mine.
Oh and Yellowbelly, not entirely sure why you have taken offence to the bump. Shows good use of the search button and I much prefer to see this rather than a new thread started, which we all know would likely have attracted replies like "use the search button".

Another +1 for the jet washing. If you just unbolt them at the bottom of the door for the front ones and just under the seat for the back ones and you can practically pull the entire belt out of the door, Having someone to hold it tight against the body is a must though. You can see the clean line created as soon as you put the jet was on them.

It's stuff that I use at work it gets rid of oil, grease and stuff like that it's not cheap and maybe cause damage I'm not interlly sure because I've never used it on seatbelts but in sim molar cases I.e oil bedded into my overalls a bit of brake cleaner brought it right out

Old thread but I've just done mine
Car shampoo scrubbed with a cloth
bucket of water with some vanish in there then scrubbed with a cloth
Then back to shampoo.
Then blasted it clean with the jet wash.
Spent about 45/60 mins on each seat belt. Not 100% clean the weather didn't no what to do iv'er be sunny or rain. So I missed little bits ie where it bolts in.
In this pic you can see the dirt that's what the drivers side was like and you can see the difference
