Pull the belts all the way out and clamp them to make sure they wont retract. Then soak/clean them with either upholstery shampoo or even washing up liquid - anything to remove the dirt.
Leave them pulled out until they're dry and then you should find them much better

With that said the quality of belts I removed (VW) were far superiour to these after market belts and I would suspect a pair of Mk IV/V belts would have done the job for the same money and would have been better quality.
Ill move on to the next thing for now but time will tell if i stick with these belts, I might keep an ebay on ebay for a cheap set of modern VW belts as that would be the ideal "upgrade" from standard mk1 belts.
