Introdução
Judging by the looks, my wife's floor mats haven't been cleaned since the car rolled off the showroom floor in 2000. I created this guide based on a tried-and-true technique that my mother showed me when I was a wee lass.
There may or may not be better techniques out there, but I know this one works with common household items on-hand.
O que você precisa
-
-
Soak the floor mat generously with water.
-
Bonus: if you're doing it right, a rainbow will manifest itself to congratulate you.
-
-
-
Spread your favorite granule-based, eco-friendly laundry detergent onto the entire area of the floor mat.
-
Why eco-friendly? This soapy gray water will go down the curb and into your favorite creek. So be nice to it!
Biodégradable ? C’est bien! Mais pas suffisant, préférer le lavage dans une baignoire ou une douche afin que l’eau du lavage sois retraitée correctement.

Scrub like crazy with a push broom. As you can see in the photo, I'm preventing the mat from moving by standing on an edge.
-
Brush in a couple of different directions so you agitate all the contaminants from various angles.
-
As a bonus, you will have the cleanest feet in the tri-state area after this procedure.
-
Put the floor mats back into the car (or truck) once they've finished drying.

May I recommend that one use an environmentally friendly detergent. As one hoses off the mat, the soapy water will flow to the gutter, and ultimately to a river or ocean.
You know, I never considered that. Thanks for the heads-up! I added a note on the guide so that folks are informed.
Absolutely love the funniness! Very easy to understand simple steps.
Love your wit! Gotta love a clean freak!
Might I suggest deLimonine (100% of course) from orange peels. (I get mine shipped from canada & use it for everything…. even adhesive removal. Lasts forever.
I tried to give you 30 points but I havn’t completed the job & it made me take it back!
Also Alex Lee! If you do that to a washing machine it won’t be long till you are writing a repair manual for it!
Thanks for sharing this process! We just bought an old, used car for my son because he just got his license. The car was very dirty and I was struggling to clean the mats until I found your post! I usually just get my own car mats and upholstery cleaned by a local carpet cleaning company (https://www.chemdryacadiana.com/upholste...) and they do great work. But for this old car, I thought I could clean it myself. Your method worked very well and I will definitely use it again. Thank you so much!!
