I wouldn't be spraying chemicals and cleaners on a seat belt. How do you know how it will react? Good time to find out when it snaps in a wreck and you end up 50 feet past the end of the hood.

Been using brake cleaner for years getting grease out of clothes as a mechanic. As it dries the smell dissipates. We found out if it"s organic use detergent type cleaners and chemical use chemical type cleaners. Never seen any adverse affects personally. We used old seatbelts to lift heavy parts on shop cranes with all kinds of chemicals soaked in them. Just speaking from experience with my dealings take it what its worth.

Remember we grew up in cars that did not have seatbelts at all. It's understood that if you did hammer say a 54 Chevy with a large car it's going to hurt.
A very long time ago in our school bus with the then new high back seats no seatbelts etc we had a old Rivera ram into our left steer. The driver of that car ate his steering column which probably killed him later. And the children etc were fine. Just needed another bus since the steer was punched out by the steel bumper bent into it.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
Can confirm brake cleaner. Leaned on purple grease. A lot of it... brake cleaner took all of it out of my brown carhartt jacket and you could never tell.
worked amazing.FlaSwampRat Thanks this.
