"Here are the items you'll need for this task. So, the first step is to open the door and gently pull the seat belt most of the way out of the retractor. Use a clamp to prevent the belt from retracting back into the spool while you're working on it. Next, lightly spray fabric cleaner on the fibers and scrub with a medium to stiff bristle brush. Scrub in the direction of the fibers, and avoid circles, or rubbing up and down. Over time and with excess pressure."
