On used cars, of which we have the majority, the seat belt will one day stop folding, sagging and causing a lot of discomfort, occasionally getting caught on

All car owners wash their cars at least a few times a year. Even the most desperate and lazy people once a season wash the dirt deposits on the body and tidy up the cabin. They clean chairs, plastic and even glass, when the latter completely lose their transparency due to kilograms of dirt.
And with the seatbelts we touch every time we get in the car, what’s the matter? Why are they never cleaned and washed? Don’t they get dirty? And how! In addition, when the belt stops flexing from the megatons of dirt absorbed over the years of use, the spool can no longer handle it and the long-suffering piece of protective fabric sags. That’s the whole secret.
The point is small: clean it. Some sinks provide such a service: pierce them with water under pressure, foam and a brush put the belt in order. However, the same operation can be performed in the garage, in the garden and in the countryside. To succeed, you need to have in your arsenal a detergent that can fight grease (read – any detergent) and a steam generator.
Without the latter, the desired effect cannot be achieved. For some reason, it is believed that the steam generator is an expensive device from a rich house, which can only be seen in American TV shows. However, in practice, many already have such “gadgets”, and everyone else can easily rent it for 500 rubles per day. Is it worth it? Naturally!
So, the procedure for restoring and regenerating the seat belt is as simple as a nail: we completely remove the belt, fasten it with improvised means and start cleaning. First of all, we dilute the detergent in a bucket of water and apply it to the main character. To enhance the effect and speed up the process, you can rub it in with a brush or sponge – whichever comes to hand first. Then we rinse thoroughly and proceed to steam procedures: we pass every centimeter with the device, slowly, pushing through the pores and seams of the belt. This is not a very quick thing and there is no need to hurry – we do it for ourselves.
As practice shows, in two hours you can completely and completely process all the belts and have time to enjoy the full restoration of their work. Bonus – you can even ride in a white shirt: there will be no stains and stains. The main thing is how to dry. Fortunately, the street has finally warmed up, so this simple procedure can be completely and completely at the mercy of nature and physics. The water will simply evaporate.
