really dirty mats
nah im not looking for help but having floor mats never been cleaned for almost 7 years, just vaccumed yearly, ive decided to wash them 
so first i went in the tub, soaked and rinsed them to get all the good sand and dirt off, then i decided to throw in the washer with some soapy stuff. seemed pretty nice and clean just needed to dry, so after that i threw in the dryer.... sad thing is when i took it out the dryer was all dirty with what looks like mud all over and it looked like i dropped the mat in some mud
..... i couldnt understand how the heck that could happen anyone have any clue? theyre fine now cleaned them another way..

the flopping around in the drier probably knocked all the dirt out. sort of like beating a rug with a stick but you dsid it with your drier.

take'em to the car wash, spray simple green on them, power wash. Boosty will say throw them in a front load washer. I like my idea better :P

I do the pressure washer with Simple Green, or Westley'* White Wall Bleach. If they're REALLY dirty I'll use a scrub brush on them. Makes them look brand new every time, even with how muddy the ones in the Jeep tend to get.
BTW way, I have rubber mats in both my cars, I don't know if you're talking about carpetted mats........
