Introduction
Judging by the looks, my wife's floor mats haven't been cleaned since the car rolled off the showroom floor in 2000. I created this guide based on a tried-and-true technique that my mother showed me when I was a wee lass.
There may or may not be better techniques out there, but I know this one works with common household items on-hand.
What you need
-
-
Soak the floor mat generously with water.
-
Bonus: if you're doing it right, a rainbow will manifest itself to congratulate you.

-
Scrub like crazy with a push broom. As you can see in the photo, I'm preventing the mat from moving by standing on an edge.
-
Brush in a couple of different directions so you agitate all the contaminants from various angles.
-
As a bonus, you will have the cleanest feet in the tri-state area after this procedure.
-
Put the floor mats back into the car (or truck) once they've finished drying.

May I recommend that one use an environmentally friendly detergent. As one hoses off the mat, the soapy water will flow to the gutter, and ultimately to a river or ocean.
You know, I never considered that. Thanks for the heads-up! I added a note on the guide so that folks are informed.
Absolutely love the funniness! Very easy to understand simple steps.
Love your wit! Gotta love a clean freak!
Might I suggest deLimonine (100% of course) from orange peels. (I get mine shipped from canada & use it for everything…. even adhesive removal. Lasts forever.
I tried to give you 30 points but I havn’t completed the job & it made me take it back!
Also Alex Lee! If you do that to a washing machine it won’t be long till you are writing a repair manual for it!
