Floor mat care....

Alright guys, i have decided today to clean my stock floor mats with every bit of skill i got. I found one thing that works very well with them,

Step 1-Get a pressure washer, in the cleaning chemical tank, put tide or any cloth washing soap.

Step 2-Spray the cleaning solution on the floor mats and let sit one minute. Use full pressure(i used 1200psi) and blast it clean.

At this stage it will be mostly clean, but one more time would do it a good favor.

Step 3-Repeat steps 1 and 2 over agai

Step 4-Let dry


I swear to the word that this will clean them better than anything else you used before.

I will have after pics soon but here is a before pic-



I got one question to all of you, My front passenger side floor mat is bend in several places. How would i correct this? I've tried putting it under things to flatten it, tried bending it back, everything. My next idea is to try to heat up the plastic backing to where it will bend back, would this word????




Thanks,

Shane

the rugs came our very nicely.

The bent rug is going through treatment as we speak. Will be for a while. Under a 5 gallon bucker so it will eventually flatten.
