How To Clean Car Floor Mats

Introduction

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.

What you need

1. Step 1 How To Clean Car Floor Mats

   

   • Soak the floor mat generously with water.

   • I used this power washer for the procedure, but it's totally unnecessary. You can just use a regular water hose.

   • Bonus: if you're doing it right, a rainbow will manifest itself to congratulate you.
