Cleaning floor mats

I really need to start cleaning my floor mats. All I do when I clean my car is vacuum them and that is it. I never bothered using soap cause I figured that would be more work.

 

I try to avoid washing mine as much as I can. This helps preserve the carpet's condition.

 

That's neat. But add me to the list of those who would rather wash it myself with soap and water, than pay that much money.

 

I just buy new every year

 

Very detailed guide. I've always wondered how people manage to keep their floor mats in top quality. Thanks!

 

I don't spend anything on mat cleaning. I do it manually, that is just to take mats out, wash it with detergent and small brush. As my car is an old one I never mind how mats inside car look.

 

I think it's the best idea to just hand wash them yourself. I can't see how they would get that dirty unless you have had them for years. So long that they are not completely worn, I don't think it tends to matter too much really.

 

That's fine if you can use it for more than car floor mats. From my point of view spending $600 on a machine to clean the carpet in my car when all I have do is use a little elbow grease, soap and water and accomplish the same thing and sometime better than a machine.

 

Sadly where I'm from we get tons of snow. Nearly impossible to keep the mats clean not only because of all the snow and slush but the salt always finds it's way into as well. I usually replace my nice mats with huge rubber ones for the winter, but again this is for most of the year.

 

I think that is the most informative article I have ever read on cleaning my carpets. But I doubt if I can affordable such amount its a second hand car here on my state. But anyways I stick to my soapy water and a my old brush its much cheaper and more comfortable as per my concern.

 

Flexin; those pics you posted look an awful lot like the front of my house ~

 

I think they look great. Not only for the carpet mats, but the actually carpeting in the cars would benefit from this. I too will not replace stock carpet or carpet mats, but I may through rubber mats over to protect things.

Since everyone seemed to jump on the price, couldn't you use carpet shampoo or soapy water and a brush and just use a "wet vac" to take up excess water? Most people own a wet/dry shop vac.

 

I like to have my original mats in the car so I take good care of them. The step by step direction is good and it helps to save money. I think a little soap and water is much cheaper than replacing a genuine mat so I'll do anything to save me some money.
