and what kind of cleaner on the belt itself?

If some grease, etc, on belt, maybe some simple green or the like, then rinse well. Might could wrap/tie extended belt to steering wheel, then let dry overnight?

I cleaned the receiver (the lap latch) with a toothbrush, then used a smidge of wd40. Wrapped it in a towel so it wouldn't splash onto interior.
