Carpet Mats

[jbcrzn]

There is a spot of what appears ground-in dirt into the driver's side mat where my heel rests (there is also a spot in the carpet at the "hump" adjacent to the accelerator pedal). I have tried to remove the spot through vacuuming and using Blue Magic Carpet Stain and Spot Remover and Foaming Carpet Cleaner. I have used multiple applications for the spots, but am unable to completely extract the spots. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I've used the Bizzel "Little Green Clean Machine." Basically, its a "do it yourself" carpet cleaning system. Works pretty good.

Time for some new mats!
But, even though I've got a Deluxe Chrysler set, I use the old OEM one for my driver's side daily driving.

Hey their jbcrzn,

Sorry I missed this one. Normally a question like this would make it over into the Detailing Forum so it kinda passed me by. No problem, I should be able to help you get those stains out pretty decent.

You are going to need:

A Wet/Dry Shop Vac

Garden Hose with Spray Nozzle

Soap: Dishwashing, Simple Green, or Car Wash Soap is fine.

A Bucket

A good Bristle Brush


What you want to do is put two ounces of soap to your bucket and fill it with warm water to a nice sudsy solution. Lay your mats out in a clean working environment such as your driveway, etc. Since your floor mats do not have insulation underneeth, you do not have to worry about getting them wet. Take your Brissle Brush, dip it into the suds, and scrub the heck out of your mats. Once they are scrubbed good, take your Hose and rinse them thoroughly until all of the suds, and dirt are gone, and the rinse water is clean. You will be amazed how much dirt will actually come out of your mats. Then lastly, it is a big help to grab your Shop/Vac, and vacuum up the left over water out of your mats to help expedite the drying process better. Do not put wet mats back into your PT.

If you do this process, any and all stains you have should be gone for good.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me anytime. Also, if you would like to learn more on most anything involved in Detailing, please be sure to check out my Guide in the Detailing Section for a full Step by Step on each process to make your PT look new again.

GO easy, and I will catch ya later.
