Default Re: Dyeing seatbelts???

What is TSP?? I would rather clean them than Dye them by a long shot, probably should do that before dyeing them anyway.

Stuck my old stiff and dirty belts in a pillow case, tied it shut, then threw them in the washing machine along with some Tide and sudsy ammonia. Came out clean and soft, (didnt need dyed) looked like new. Just call me Suzy Homemaker! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Liquid, powders might not disolve completely, and can leave yucky stuff on your clean clothes, er, .....I mean seat belts. Sorta sounds like a commercial dont it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

and by the way, TSP means trisodium phosphate, a generic cleaner. You might have to search for it though, depending on what your state laws are on phosphate cleaning products.

Budnate,
I just want to give my 2 cents here. The original owner of my car smoked which stained the white tags on my seat belt. I took them to the dry cleaner here in town to see if she had an answer. I came back in a couple of days and the belt and tag I gave her were now clean. I asked what she used and she told me she thought she'd try that "oxyclean" stuff advertised on the TV infomercial. It worked. And it didn't mess up the date code stamping on them either!

Dang Guys, I am confused as what to do now, The fact is they are kinda that purple look to them and I have seen that years ago and assumed they were faded from being in the sun in Arizona and Cal, were any of your belts looking like that before cleaning them, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Bud,
Sounds like they are faded, but it makes sense to clean them before you dye them!
