Re: Mat cleaning technique
I have the rubber type, but when I have someone else's to do, I pre-spray with a spotter, then spray them at a carwash with the high pressure wand, mats hanging from the mat holders. Then I quickly grab the wet/dry vac nearby and attempt to dry them as best as possible in that time. Another $1.00 idea, in case your significant other "prefers" that you don't use the tub method.

Yesterday I tried the bathtub technique for washing my car mats. Totally unbelievable. What a great job it did. I have a 05 Sebring, Black mats. We bought the car used, and theres no telling how much dirt was in these mats. I followed everything as liquidblack outlined and it cleaned them up to what I would consider "brand new" condition. The only thing I had to do differently was After 3 rinsings with hot water was still seeing alot of dirt rinsing off, at this point I decided to start at the beginning and repeat the whole process again. After 3 more rinsings the water was rinsing clean. At this point I put the mats in the wash machine on spin cycle,(made sure carpet side of mats facing the outer wash drum) let it do its thing when done put them outside to dry. Thanks again liquid black for this great tip.
