Cleaning your car mats

The car mats in your car don't always have it easy. The soles of our shoes pick up a lot of filth and the majority ends up on our car mats. And we haven't even mentioned rainy or snowy days that make mud and brine to stick to the soles of your shoes.

Cleaning with a vacuum cleaner

The simplest way to clean your car mats is of course with a vacuum cleaner or by hand. Beating the mats will get rid of most of the filth and all that's left over can be removed with a vacuum cleaner. 

Getting rid of stubborn filth

So what is one to do if the mats are covered not only in sand and dust but also stubborn filth like brine or oil? There are several cleaning agents that can be used to clean your car mats, but pay close attention to which you use.

Cleaning car mats with water

A good tip is to first try cleaning with water. Wet a brush and scrub carefully. Scrub the filth out using a fluid motion on the mats. Is the filth too stubborn to get out using only a brush and water? Then we move on to the next step.

You can try to clean your car mats with a mild multipurpose cleaning agent. Make sure that the cleaning agent isn't too concentrated. This could damage your car mats.

Using an iron to clean your car mats sounds like a strange idea. But it's not as strange as you'd think if you know how to do it properly. You'll also need a sheet of parchment paper. Using an iron and parchment paper is truly the last resort to cleaning your car mats. Place the paper on the mats and go over it carefully with the iron. There's a big chance that the filth will attach itself to the paper but stains could actually get worse in this process.

Are the stains getting worse? At this point you've tried everything possible and you'll have to buy new car mats. Ordering new mats is simple using the guide at the top of this website. If you decide to get new mats, we ensure the best quality and you will have a warranty period of up to 4 years.
