I like to throw mine in the washing machine. Although I am not a pro, so I only do this every once in a while.

If you don't have access to an extration machine, spray the mat with a mixture of 50% Castrol Super Clean & water, with one scoop of OXIClean (in a 32 oz bottle). Let it soak for several minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush. Hang the mat over a clothes line or fence and rinse the hell out of it with the garden hose (a high pressure hose at a self serve wash would be excellent).

Repeat until you're satisfied, or it's as clean as it will get.

The oxi-clean works as a stand alone cleaner AND as a detergent BOOSTER. You should see some of the laundry stains I have gotten out using the 50/50 water/Super clean mix with a scoop of oxi thrown in.

don just a quick note to let you know how it went this weekend. i started out friday with a lexus that was kept up like a dirt halling truck. so it was quite a job. the first thing i did was the floor mats i made my mixture of the oxi-clean, super-clean and also added my carpet shampoo that i use normally. i scrubed the mats let them sit for about 5 min. then i hit the mats with my pressure washer and i was very happy with the out come. i just want to thank you again im made my job a hole lot better and faster. i will be coming to you for more advise as needed thanks again.

Don't mix anything- Go to your local auto part store and buy a can of
Lifter-1. It's great stuff and easy to use also. I haven't run across a stain that I couldn't get out.
