What’s the best way to wash soiled car floor mats?
SCHLANGEMANN asked:
Does anyone know the best way to wash soiled floor mats from a car? They are a rug like material on top and a foam rubber on the bottom to prevent slippage. Can I just throw them in a washing machine with regular detergent w/ bleach (such as Tide), or will that end up damaging them destroy the material? I really don’t want to destroy the mats by washing them improperly because they are original BMW floor mats and are quite durable. Thanks.
I’m going to try Woolite, as I hear it does a great job on carpet and rug material. I’ll see if that works.

How to Care for Your Automobile Floor Mats
Art Gib asked:
Automobile floor mats are very important in order to maintain a clean vehicle. These mats work in many ways by providing protection for the carpet in the vehicle and making it easier to clean.
The use of automobile floor mats provide total protection for the carpeting in a vehicle. If your carpeting is light colored, such as beige or light gray, it definitely needs to be protected. After all, if you are walking in the mud, in snowy conditions, or if you have a lot of dirt on the bottom of your shoes, you will track it into the vehicle and onto the carpet. This is very hard to get out of the carpet and eventually the carpeting of the vehicle will never be able to look its natural color again but instead have to be replaced.
Floor mats collect rocks, dirt and grime from the bottom of your shoes. They also catch crumbs from food when you are eating too. Using automobile floor mats makes it easier to clean the vehicle from this debris because they are removable. You can pull them out of the vehicle at the car wash or at home and spray them off with a high pressure hose really well. As a result, the carpet will remain looking new for longer.
There are several ways to clean a floor mat. The most common method is simply to vacuum them clean as they get dirty. Rubber floor mats can be simply sprayed down with water but carpeted floor mats may need shampooing every now and then to maintain a clean smell and appearance.
However, most people choose not shampoo their floor mats as they are meant to get dirty which, in turn, prevents the actual floor of your vehicle from getting dirty. Simply removing them, shaking out the dust, and perhaps running over them with a vacuum is often sufficient for most folks. On the other hand, if the floor mats are the only surface you see and you want the car to look its best, a little more effort may be required.
When you use floor mats for an automobile you are making a good decision towards maintaining a nice looking carpet. You don’t have to use the standard issue floor mats that come with a vehicle. Today you can purchase floor mats that match your personality style with designs on them like flames, roses, symbols and almost anything else.
There are many mats you can buy for the floor of your automobile which provide the perfect solution for protecting the carpet from mud, snow, and dirt tracked into the vehicle from the bottoms of your shoes. This is the best solution to protecting the carpet and making it much easier to clean the vehicle.

Dwyane Thomas asked:
Your Mercedes Benz car is considered as one of the most luxurious vehicles in the world. Mercedes Benz is a brand name that has become synonymous to both luxury and safety.
But what good is a luxurious car if it is all dirty in the inside? With people coming in and going out of your car all the time, with dirty slippers or muddy rubber shoes, it’s sure going to be a headache cleaning your car’s floor.
Mercedes floor mats could be the most effective option to keep your car’s floor always squeaky clean. They protect your floor from dirt, mud and any spillage that can cause additional damage to the other parts of your car’s interior.
There are different kinds of floor mats available in the market today. Some are all-weather floor mats designed to protect your car’s floor in all kinds of weather, others are luxurious plush carpeted floor mats, floor mats with deep wells that catch anything your feet drag in, invisible floor mats that let your original look shine through and low profile mats that create a minimalist look.
Most floor mats are either made of rubber or nylon for easy cleaning. However nowadays, different materials are being used to suit the needs of vehicle owners.
Aside from the protection that floor mats provide, they also enhance the appearance of your vehicle’s carpet. Now, vehicle owners have the choice of buying custom-made floor mats for their vehicles. From oriental designs to embroidered cartoon characters, everything is simply available to match your needs.
Other floor mats designs are so functional that they can even be used for as bed liners for truck beds and van floors as well as floor board mats, protecting the surface while at the same time keeping the paint or carpet in plain view.
But whatever it is that you need — protection or enhanced look, floor mats are the easiest and most inexpensive way to do it.

Exercise Floor Mats Have Changed A Lot Since I Was At School
Ann Marier asked:
I never really understood why people wasted money on exercise floor mats. Now that I have hardwood floors in my home I am beginning to understand. I suspect that even if I had carpet I would probably want to get one of these. There are many exercises you can do on your feet, but there are many more that you may require you to come into contact with your floor. Even if you are only putting your elbows or perhaps your knees on your floor, you’re going to want some sort of cushion.
My first experience with exercise floor mats was in elementary school. I went to a very small school, and I guess maybe we had more things than other schools. Many of my friends from other schools told me they had no exercise floor mats in their gymnasium. Ours were quite thick, and we used them for many things. Though we used these exercise floor mats much more when we were younger, they were still use some in high school. Many schools have a very like large mats used to protect children falling and hurting themselves when using things like parallel bars, our exercise floor mats where there for every day play.
The exercise floor mats you get for your home would not have to be very large. They only need to be large enough for you to use on your own. They don’t even have to cost you very much money. You can find exercise floor mats almost anywhere you buy other exercise equipment. You may even be able to get something called a yoga mat to double as your exercise mat. As long as something offers you the protection you need from the hard wood of your floor, or from getting scratched by your carpet, it will work for what it needs to do.
I don’t know if I will use my exercise floor mats as much as I think I will, but I do know that my daughter will probably use them. She is very active, and loves to tumble around on the floor. There have been many times when she has bumped and bruised her knees and elbows, and if I had exercise floor mats for her to use, I think this would been less often. If nothing else, they will be something that she may use to sit on the floor in the wintertime when our hardwood floors are always cold. I guarantee it will be put to good use for something.
