Re: floor mats yellow color?
Did you try any Meguiars cleaners so far? If not, the Quick Out would be a good start.
Or they could be low quality fibers, or really old, and that is just the color you are going to get?2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue -
Re: floor mats yellow color?
If the yellowing is very uniform then they may well be fading from UV exposure, in which case you can't really do anything about it other than maybe dye them. Replacement is probably a better option.
If the yellowing is definite staining, then try either Meguiar's Quik Out or Meguiar's APC diluted 10:1. Scrub with a stiff brush, rinse and blot dry or use a wet/dry shop vac to pull out as much moisture as possible.Michael Stoops

Does the car smell like smoke? Could be a build up of Nicotine..Current Jeep: 2004 Jeep Liberty with stuff

Re: floor mats yellow color?
Since they can be pulled out, I'd lay them on the driveway, hose them good, use Quick Out Carpet Cleaner, scrub it good, and rinse it good, and then let them dry.
I tend to cover my original floor mats with heavier duty ones, esp in winter.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

Re: floor mats yellow color?
Look for the thread from the guy who takes his floor mats out and cleans them in the bathtub!! If you suspect the problem is from salted roads this might just be your ticket to clean mats again.Michael Stoops
