Has anyone got a proven mat cleaning method

[ashtons99]

Title says it all really but over the years I've tried all the usual upholstery and carpet cleaners, hanging the mat on the fence and hitting it with the pressure washer. I've thought about putting them in a hot bath but not sure what Mrs A may say.

The Renaultsport mats are too expensive to be swapping regularly so I'd like to find a way of deep cleaning and bringing pile back up, especially on drivers mat

In for answers.

Steam cleaners are good, used them before on my mats. Then go over them with a nice bristly attachment on Henry which brings up the pile again.

I found removing them and using a proper vacuum cleaner on them over a flat surface removes a lot of the ground in dirt.

I used to place them on a concrete floor, douse them with an all purpose cleaner, scrub the s**t out of them then pressure wash (with caution) the solution and dirt out of them. Then wet Vac, then spray with fabric freshener and leave to dry in the sun.

Now i just buy new mats.

same as above, tried all sorts and now just change them every couple of years instead, started using the cheaper 20 quid none sport ones in the 1*2's as well, quality is basically the same and look nearly as good

God knows what you lot trample into your mats! As @Cliotoby has said is the only method I've found works 100%, or as close to as poss.

I did the mats on my beemer at the weekend. Placed mats on ground and used a Karcher vac with a brush attachment.

They came up a treat.
