Default Got Power steering leak fixed now belt squeal

So I got the power steering leak fixed they changed the pump, resiviour, and high pressure hose. Now I have my belts squealing I'm assuming they got some oil or something somewhere it was not supposed to get because it makes the belts squeal. I had that problem like twice before and they just changed the belts, is there anything I can do instead of changing the belts to stop the squealing.

You can try spraying the belt with the engine running with some brake clean. make sure to get both sides and around the pullies if you can. Don't use belt dressing.

Once the belt sucks up oil it's usually too late.

My suggestion is that you clean all the pulleys REAL GOOD before you put a new belt on.
