Wheather you need to clean truck floor mats for a job in Amber, or clean car floor mats for a ride with a client, these are the supplies you’ll need:

• For Rubber Floor Mats: Vacuum, rubber floor mat cleaner, a stiff bristle brush, a hose or bucket of water, and a microfiber towel.
• For Carpet Floor Mats: Vacuum, stiff bristle brush, carpet floor mat cleaner, brush, hose or bucket of water, a wet vac (if possible), or a place to hang up your mats to dry.

How to Clean Rubber Floor Mats

Rubber floor mats are the best for off-road enthusiasts in Chickasha and drivers who live where there is a lot of sand, rain, or snow. Make sure they stay effective at keeping your new Chevy cabin clean by washing your rubber mats regularly. Follow the steps below:

1. Start by removing them from your vehicle.
2. Shake out your mats and vacuum any leftover dirt or debris.
3. Thoroughly rinse the mats with clean water.
4. Apply a good cleanser designed for rubber mats. Then, gently scrub with a stiff bristle brush to remove grime and debris.
5. Rinse the car mats clean.
6. Hang them up to dry, or use a microfiber towel to hand dry them. Be sure the mats are completely dry before putting them back in your vehicle.

How to Clean Carpet Floor Mats

If you’re driving a new Chevy around Norman or are using the factory-provided floor car mats, they’re likely made of carpet. The steps for how to clean car floor mats made from carpet are a bit different than for rubber car mats. Find out more below:

1. Remove the floor mats from your car.
2. Vacuum the floor mats completely.
3. Shake and whack the floor mats against something to remove any remaining dust and dirt particles.
4. Use a cleaner that is designed for carpet floor mats and apply it to your car floor mats. Follow the application directions carefully for your particular cleaner.
5. Scrub the mats to remove any remaining stains and ground-in dirt.
6. Rinse them thoroughly.
7. If you have a wet vac, vacuum them again. This helps remove any additional dirt and cuts the drying time of your mats.
8. Hang your mats up to dry. Make sure they are entirely dry before putting them back in your car.
