My car wash on the corner put some chemicals on it and with the hoses with pressure they wash the car they clean the sh**t out of the mats. $2.50 each mat tho

Car floor mat <--- http://www.meguiars.com/?cloth-carpe...terior-Cleaner

^^ I havent been able to find this on the store so i ordered 4 units online. EXCELLENT RESULTS and I mean excellents (like new look and smell) but make sure you have lots of clean little rags to flip over clean side (that's the trick) and some tissue to clean your sweat (cuz you are going to believe me)

Salt dissolves in regular water. I still prefer to take my floor mats out of the car, mix laundry detergent and water in a bucket, then pour the soapy mix on the floor mats. Let it sit for a few minutes, then take a regular sponge mop and stand over the mats, scrubbing the soap all around on the floor mats. Do this on a sloped concrete driveway and gravity will take the excess dirty water and soap away. If you have really tough stains, you can attack them with a small hand brush. Keep adding soapy water and mopping until you stop seeing dirty water come off the floor mat. Then hose the mats off until you stop seeing soap suds in the rinse. Shake out as much liquid as you can, but it will take a few days for the mats to dry. Once that's done, though, they look clean, new, and fluffy.

You won't believe how much dirt you see flow out with the wash water.

Hot water extractor. 200 degree water at 60 PSI sprayed into your rugs and pulled back out with 95 inches of vacuum lift.

My machine cleans like mad. It's made by Aztec.

Pay the money for a proffensional detail service to steam clean the interior. I had the whole package interior/exterior done 2yrs ago well worth the money.
