You make a damn good point.
Question: How would you wash a leather or other water sensitive material belt?
Leather you can wash with something like saddle soap, and then recondition so it doesn't dry out. For something like a belt it'll take a couple minutes and then you let the conditioner soak in overnight, wipe off any excess and you're back in the game.
Same for wallets, jackets, boots, whatever.
Carefully
Better question: why would you wash a leather belt? It's like the exterior tertiary layer of clothing...
Me poo, me wipe, me touch belt with sullied hands. Belt gross >:(
Phone gross
Well, some people use leather belts for alternate purposes, sometimes a bit closer to the skin..

Dry cleaning. Or buy a new one.
I think a once over with a Clorox wipe would do it.
I think that would cause my metal spikes to corrode though..
