Can u put floor mats in the dryer???

This might be a dumb question, but when I shampoo my front mats they take forever to dry. It takes days usually to get them fully dry. Can I just put them in my dryer and let them dry a bit. They will fit and I dont think the heat will ruin the rubber.

I've put them in the washer machine and dryer. No problems here.

If really nervous just put them on the cool setting in the dryer so it wont get as hot and reduce meltince risk.

I was going to say no, because I've destroyed the rubber on the bottom of some mats before, but since Deezo has actually done it with the Max mats, then listen to him. Just be careful.

Ive stuffed them in the washer. The edges will get a little frayed though, maybe if you put in other stuff it will protected them. As for drying, just hang them out to dry, they're made of woven nylon anyway.

Think the washer machine gets out more stuff than the shamooing does? Mine are in rough shape and shampooing them really did not do a whole big deal. One day I want to get brand new ones but at 90 bucks I think I will hold off for a while.

I actually used the washer dryer to clean mine Sat, and other than a few broken knubs on the backings, they came out nice and clean. Only suggestion I have is vacuum them GOOD before you wash them, when I pulled them out of the dryer, there was sand everywhere in the dryer....

Its when you shoot them with a harpoon gun before you clean them.
