There is no way to stay clean on a construction site or during a construction project, which is all the more reason you need to clean your supply tool belt. Supply tool belts made of cotton, polyester or nylon are cleaned in a washing machine. Leather tool belts need to be cleaned with more care. Traditionally, supply tool belts are made of leather because of its ability to withstand wear and tear. Dirt, dust, paint and other things stick to the inside and outside of your belts. Keep your belt clean by using materials available at your local hardware store.

Apply castile soap to a toothbrush. Lather the soap with water. Scrub the inside of the pouches on the belt. Wipe off excess soap with a moist soft cloth. Let the belt dry for 4 hours.
Step 3

Moisten a soft cloth with the mixture. Rub the mixture on the exterior and interior of the belt using your fingertips. Let the mixture completely absorb for 2 hours. Your supply tool belt is now clean.
