Default Lloyd floor mats.....

Can you was them in the washing machine? I seem to have misplaced my care instructions.

I buy the shampoo from the auto parts shop to clean mine. Like the idea of spraying on and wiping on quick and easy

Mine unravelled along the edges. Had to take them to a tailor shop to be re-sewn!

Ouch! Not good Jake! I did my OEM ones in the washer on gentle. Never had any problems. I think I'll just clean these up by hand this time. Not that old anyway.

Thanks for all the input guys!

They also came out flimsier, (is that a word?); more floppy.

When I shampoo my carpets, I pull all the mats from the car and do them!

Best consult a doctor if your mats stiffen for more than four hours tho.

I used Purple Power on my floor mats that were in my Rainer all winter. Here in the Northeastern part of Ohio the winters can be rough on floor mats. Read a post in here about using Purple Power on the carpets and thought I would try it on the floor mats and boy does it work well. They came out clean and soft. Just make sure you use rubber gloves with Purple power because it really likes skin especially with a little salt and gravy.

After reading this I now I am going to just contribute to the thread by adding the word rubber and soft, oh well…..
