|  Eeeughhh! Decided to give my front mats a quick clean, After 16months, I figured it was about time. Start of proceeding i was confronted with a couple of grubby mats, DSC00309.JPG Passenger side, I had started the drivers side before deciding to take photo's. And this is what was lifted out, DSC00310.JPG DSC00311.JPG And trust me the Drivers side was worse. The end result DSC00312.JPG Still not perfect, But considerably better

| Re: Eeeughhh! Oooh, there is a VAX in the house here somewhere. Nice to know it would work wonders. I might even try it on my boot carpet which is also not looking it's best right now..... Job for this weekend when it's dry.

| Re: Eeeughhh! Spray the mats with some carpet/upholstery shampoo, allow to soak and rinse with a pressure washer on a wide spray setting a good few feet away until the run off is clear. Works a treat for me.

| Re: Eeeughhh! Trouble is that they begin to wear thin at the point your heel digs in. I thought that a square piece of that industrial aluminium with the grippy bits on would look slick, set into the mat with evo stick. You would have to 'shave' the carpet down first. Very sad, but a good idea?? |
