Many car owners go years without cleaning their seat belts.
And this is very bad: a dirty device can cause serious problems.
Why is it important to clean your seat belts?
If the vehicle owner ignores the condition of these belts for a long time, they will become covered with a layer of dust.
In addition, dirt, stains and dangerous microorganisms may appear on the device.
This situation may reduce the effectiveness of seat belts.
It is possible that they will be so worn out that they will break off at the most dangerous moment.
Also, dirty belts are dangerous for the skin of the person who is wearing them.
How to Properly Clean Seat Belts
First, you need to "go over" the device with a clean cloth soaked in water. This action will remove dust and some dirt.
Next, take a container of water, add a little cleaning agent to the liquid, dip a piece of cloth into the resulting solution and wipe the belt. This step is a guarantee of successful deep cleaning.
Then the belt should be wiped again with a clean, damp cloth.
Don't overdo it: you don't need to press too hard on the device.
Another important point: the device should dry "by itself". Do not use a hair dryer, otherwise you will damage the material.
For reference
A seat belt is a passive safety device designed to keep a passenger in a car (or other vehicle) in place in the event of an accident or sudden stop.
