Web gear

[R.G.]

The best way to clean web gear (washing with soap cold water ect.)
Thanks

laundry detergent and a brush i would use hot water but what ever floats your boat they should both work

"From the horse's mouth", as it were:

Interestingly, the initial instructions for the Pattern 1908 Web Equipment - the first 'universal pattern' British Army web equipment - specifically stated that it was not to be washed ..... but experience must have proven that to be impractical, since the 1913 version of the instructions is worded exactly the same as the Pattern 1937 instructions shown above.

And then someone came up with BLANCO!

Thanks Grant, I'll try that on the Mills Holsters some time in the future.

For our parade belts we used to ad some liquid floor wax.
The wax made it easier to keep the belt clean.
