Post by Daniel2019 »

Im cleaning the car at the moment, and the mats are very very dusty.. whats the easiest way to clean them properly? Are they okay to rinse/wash? Theyre original ones so I dont wanna f*ck them up :lol:

Water won't kill them. Some car wash places have holders so you can blast them.

I use upholstry cleaner. Brings them up nicely (I also have originals)

Simple. I used a bit of Jif and hot water with a soft scrub. Came out looking near brand new and now the car smells good as well :)
