Putting the finishing touches to the race car, and have noticed that the seat belts have got black mold all over them, anyone know what the best way would be to clean it?

I've put harnesses in the washing machine before, but I'd think a scrub and a soak in a bucket of water and washing liquid would do the trick.

As well as giving them the washing machine treatment, some of this will prevent the mould from reappearing, according to a thread on Pistonheads... ;)

tried the washing up liquid, along with swarfega, mold remover bicarbonate of soda - worried about putting them in the washing machine what about the buckle part!

just read somewhere about valeters use brake cleaner

Put it in with a full washload, then it won't rattle about so much.

Wipe them clean with Rodalon. That will prevent the mould from reappearing.

What about Cilit Bang?? It kills everything!!! They have a spray special fore mould. Spray and wipe of with a clean cloth.

I have even replaced round up with Cilit Bang in the garden :lol:

Thanks Shans - at this time the seat belts are going around in the washing machine so will have a look when they are done - then go along the cillit bang route
