Car floor mats are super crappy and full of stains?
Normal, it is probably the dirtiest place in the car! Do you think they are unrecoverable?
Do not panic ! No need to buy new floor mats!
Luckily, a buddy who works at a car wash told me his trick for getting rubber car mats back.
Here is the most effective technique to easily remove dirt from rubber floor mats ! Watch:
- white vinegar
- dishwashing liquid
- water
- spray bottle
- hard bristle brush
- microfiber cloth
- garden hose with high-pressure sprayer
1. Fill a container with water.
2. Add a squirt or two of washing up liquid to it.
3. Dip your brush in the soapy water to soak it in the mixture.
4. Scrub the carpet carefully with the brush to remove as many traces and encrusted dirt as possible.
5. Rinse the carpet with the high pressure garden hose.
6. Fill the spray bottle with white vinegar.
7. Spray white vinegar over the entire surface of the carpet.
8. Rub it with the microfiber cloth.
9. Allow floor mats to air dry.
And There you go ! Your plastic car mats are now all clean and like new :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
