Hi all, a bit different this one, we have blood stains on a back seatbelt of our Patrol, the result of a blood nose from one of our little grandsons. Has anyone got any ideas on how to remove the stains, peroxide seems to be the big thing on Google BUT I'm a bit concerned it may weaken the belt.
Any suggestions would be appreciated......
Cheers
D

Hi Dunworkin, I would suggest that you make up a bit of nappysan in a bucket , soak the stain for a while , and gently work at the stain with a nail brush ,that should remove the stain for you. Cheers, Lyn

Hi D,
Soak it in cool Tap
water, and rub it between your hands. Don't use warm or hot
water, that will only
cook it in.
Cheers, Jerry.

Dunworkin - Be wary about use Peroxide or Napisan - both could possibly affect the
seat belt colour.
Cold liquid is the go, anything hot sets the blood proteins and the stain will never come out.
This might sound suss - but it works, I've done it myself.
Hold a pad of 2 or 3 sheets of paper roll towel, or old bath towel, under the belt where the stain is, and spray
well with Windex.
Scrub with a stiff nail brush and flush with cold
water. Wipe dry. You'll be surprised at the result.

Dunworkin'
I agree with Ron. Please be very careful with using chemicals on your seatbelts.
Treat them like I treat my climbing equipment - both are safety devices and your life (or your grand kids lives) depend on them.
If you are going to use anything try a rope cleaning detergent and cold
water. It is about $7 bucks a bottle (300ml or so) available from Mainpeak etc. It is neutral and doesn't effect the fibres. I also use it to clean my upholstery so it won't go to waste
If you want some to try member message me and I can drop some to you
Cheers
Anthony

Try soaking the seatbelt in beer. After a while it won't care anymore.
