Default mat cleaning

well, good weather, and crappy roads, out came the bucket and sponge for a quick once over.
nice and shiny now.

the inside has been needing a touch of attention as the silver(??) honda mats are looking more like a tan colour.
currently in the bath soaking and wondering whats the best way to get the mud and dirt out of it.
i used to use a pressure-washer which worked mint, i just dont have that luxury anymore.

nothing funny like sweeties stuck to it, or ink stains, just 64k miles of use.

Any all purpose cleaner diluted with water about 10:1 and agitate with a stiff bristled brush. Then either rinse thoroughly and dry or use a wet vacuum to sook up all the ick.

I used to put my old CRX floor mats in the washing machine - they came up a treat!

At 64K the only thing that will clean them is new carpets

must admit - the only way is the following

Lots of car shampoo.... and presure washer - then drip dry in the garden for a day before puttin on a radiator ! the only way to bring them up - and make them smell like new !
