Washed my floormats [pic] My first time ever submerging these in the 8 years I've owned the car. Used Tide laundry stuff and rinsed twice. Letting them drip dry now in the basement.

^ Like I said, they're drip drying right now. Dimly lit basement. Pics will look like ****. Just wanted to share my dirty bath water. 
And a wet floor mat will look like a dirty one. Must have just been a lot of embedded dirt. I'd like to yank my carpet out again and have that steam cleaned. Stanley Steamer? 
Would that be classified as "one room?" I'll post a pic later when they dry out a little.

Poor bathtub, I'd get shot for doing that. But Im sure they will turn out tidy clean

^ It cleaned up fine. I wash all sorts of car parts in the bathtub. Purple power FTW!
Had to bleach the bottom of the tub though because the mats left black marks on it.
I'll grab a pic.. Hangs ons..
Like I said.. Shitty lighting. Had to move a mat into the florescent section. (Supposed to be Tan)
Mat drying rig. (I had to get the tool box in there. )

^ Hey, it's MY tile work, I'll *** it up as I please.. But Yeah. I knew they were dirty, but I didn't think they were THAT dirty! I realized I shoulda got before pics, but that was while I was washing them. Too late. They were pretty bad though.

That's a first lol....I am sure they will clean up nicely.
I always use a pressure washer and some detergent and a brush to clean my carpet and mats with. Then let them sit in the sun. Always worked like a charm on my Mustangs.

^ The last time I had my interior torn out I took a vacuum to to carpet. Neighbors prolly thought I was nuts when I COMPLETELY gutted my interior just to, seemingly, vacuum the carpet. -I was applying sound deadening.

I have washed mine with power purple a couple of times, great stuff. My only problem is the damn hole my heel wore in my mat so my driver one still looks like crap
