Default Cleaned my floormats

BEFORE:



AFTER:





First I vaccumed the mats. Next got folex carpet cleaner and sprayed a decent amount on them, letting the product pull up some stains. Using a scrub brush I worked the bad areas spraying more folex where needed. Then I took the mats down to the carwash and sprayed them clean and vaccumed dry. For the 9 bucks total it took id say it was worth every penny! Since I had such sucsess Im going to do the whole car when I get a day off.

Nice. Be careful letting folex sit too long though. Look into the bissell auto pro heat. It'll make those look even better and it's not too expensive.
