The good news is that feces stains can be removed from belts. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Remove belt from its frame (if applicable)
  • Put the belt in a sink or bathtub and fill it with cold water
  • Add a ½ cup of laundry detergent
  • Gently agitate the water with your hands until suds form
  • Let the belt soak for one hour
  • Lightly scrub the belt with a brush or soft sponge
  • Rinse the belt in cold water
  • Hang the belt to dry completely before wearing

Once the belt is dry, you should find that the feces stains have been successfully removed. Repeat these steps if the stains persist.

Additional Tips for Removing Feces Stains from Belts

In some cases, you may want to take an additional step for tough feces stains. Try using a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda as a pre-soak before you start the cleaning process outlined above. Simply mix two parts white vinegar and one part baking soda in a small bowl and apply it to the stains. Let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off and then proceeding with the regular cleaning procedure.

You should also remember to avoid hot water when cleaning feces stains. Hot water can cause the stains to set, making them much harder to remove.

Conclusion

Feces stains on belts can happen to anyone, but they are easy to clean up so long as you follow the steps outlined above. In most cases, a regular soak in mild detergent and cold water will do the trick. Remember to avoid hot water and to use a pre-soak of white vinegar and baking soda for stubborn stains.
