Cleaning seat belts   
Folks,

I have some Britax seat belts for my Herald. They are in generally
very good condition but a bit spotted with mould. Anyone know a good
way to clean them? Light grey/silvery sort of colour.

Have a browse at Woolies (http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/) which has a couple 
of products that'll suit. Highly recommended - all their gear is ronseal*!

AFAIK it is perfectly acceptable to scrub seat belts with soap 
and warm water.

Yes it is.  But unless you kill the mould completely, it is likely to 
come back.

It it was my seat belts, I would be inclined to squirt them with fungus 
fighter, wait a few hours and then wash them - but Fungus Fighter is for 
mildew on garden plants, so I can't legally recommend it to anyone else.

Re: Cleaning seat belts   
Diluted household bleach will shift the mildew,then a scrub with washing up 
liquid in warm water will shift the bleach and almost any dirt and stains, 
then hang them on the line to dry. Worked on the belts on my Series 3 L/R, 
and they were filthy and oily.
