i use simple green diluted (or any other cleaner) , hot water and soak the belts in the water for a while (hr or so) ....then light scrub care taken to the tags.....comes out like new......too much soaking takes the dye out of the belts, so check sooner than later. The dye does not completely remove, just lightens up a bit if let in too long.

After cleaning - i hang them (do a light stretch of the material) to dry to get them nice and straight .

I've used a similar technique but I use Dawn dish washing soap and I leave them soak sometimes overnight. I will knead them a bit, then change the soap solution for a second trip if the stains are bad. The Dawn takes care of any grease stains that might be there. It doesn't seem to fade out the colors.
