I can kind of roll them up just a bit and get half at a time in a wash bucket and see what happens
Thanks
I have a large basin sink in my laundry room that I was able to fit them in......seems like once they get stained it is very tough to lift those stains back out

Re: Cleaning floor mats
i cleaned my floor mats which are half carpet and half rubber with ammonia glass cleaner and a brush and sucked it up with a wet vac. I do my mats once or twice a week, but they do come out very clean.

My first thought was soaking them in the bathtub in the spare bathroom
Then I pictured momma seeing that…
On to Plan B…

Even the basin sink in the laundry room was unpopular.....until it got me a nice tip from the customer....then, somehow, it seemed okay

One the drivers mat, I wiped it down with the new Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Interior detailer, as they are black and I thought it would make a difference.....it did indeed make a slight difference, and they are not slippery.
When you say "they have dirt in them".....are you seeing granules of dirt or just dirt stains in the rubber itself? I've actually had to take customers rubber mats and soak them in warm/hot water and APC to lift some of that out.
They are NOT weathertechs. They are Jeep factory mats from Mopar. There are brown stains in the rubber. I don't see granules.

Cleaning floor mats
I hace the Weathertech twins and they are ok. Probably won’t remove what your talking about.
For real dirty matts I use LATA neat. Start with flag tip Mother’s brush. Move to Tufshine tire brush if needed. Have a drill brush but haven’t needed it.
For protection I like Adam’s graphene spray coating.
It looks great and non slippery. Stuffs like Frank’s hot sauce….. throw that $h!t on everything.
Shine supply clutched worked well but was slightly slippery.
Not really a fan of the Weathertech stuff. But to note I don’t have WT I have Husky Xact contours and they are more rubbery than plastic.

I know you do not have WeatherTechs....my opening comment was to say that I had them, just like all the folks who had replied before me. I was not saying that you had them too. If possible, try the method I mentioned in my earlier post about soaking them in very warm/hot water with APC. I was actually able to lift some of the stains out using that process. Hopefully it will help you as well.

Is that the regular or Advanced? I’ve thought about buying the Advanced Graphene spray multiple times but haven’t pulled the trigger. Thanks.

I have the regular but would order the advanced. Adam’s has a video about winter prep that shows thrm using the GCSC on floor mats.
