Just shampoo them. I had a little stain on my carpet of my car ( tan ) and I used our shampooer and it came right out.

My floor mats in all my vehicles go through the washer once a year. Just hang them up to dry or lay them out in the sun.

Another option is to spray it down with a hose, apply some carpet cleaner (or Woolite or other laundry detergent), scrub with a brush, rinse with hose, dry mostly with shop vac and then hang dry.

go to a car wash, they have hooks to hang your mats, put some carpet cleaner on and pressure wash em. that should do the trick if you cant shampoo them.
