Washing Car Seat Belts

Just wondering if anyone has advice on the best way to wash the seat belts on an infant car seat. The one we have is a Graco and the company advised not to wash the belts in the washing machine. Has anyone tried to wash them and if so what happened or what do you think the best way is? Thanks! =)

What can I do next?

I always washed our car seat belts in the washer on delicate cycle.

I have to admit that I also wash mine! I am WAY too germaphobic to wash it ant other way and feel like it is REALLY clean! They get so nasty so quickly!

Oops, I wasn't aware that I wasn't supposed to wash the car seat straps. I used 2 different Graco carriers with my 3 kids and washed on gentle and air-dryed the straps and the cover many times. I never had any problems with them after washing. They are a bit time consuming to remove though. I'm not sure how they expect them to stay clean w/t washing them. My kids always seemed to spit up or have explosive poop while in their carseats. Hope this helps.

Like one of the other Mom's I wasn't aware you were not suppose to put the seat belts in the washer. I used the washer on a heavy cycle and then air dried.

Then turned out perfect!

Best of Luck!

I use a zipper bag (the sturdy kind, not the mesh ones) made for delicates on the delicate cycle. I don't dry them in the dryer, just hang on a hanger.
