Default Weird question....
Can you put your floor mats in the washing machine?! Has anyone ever done this? IDK why not, they are like a cloth/ carpet and thats that a washing machine cleans.

no, just dont put your machine on any crazy cycles. i put mine on a cycle that gently turns them around in circle and works the soap in. and then ofcourse add the good smelling fabric softner to the rinse cycle.

Dont you think presure washing would blast all the carpet out? Plus that doesnt use soap so all its really doing is rinsing them off and i really want to wash them.

True. Plus my pressure washer can be turned down and i can hold it further away. But what do you use for carpet cleaner?

all 4 should be fine. they really aren't that heavy. a wet beach towel probably weighs more. just place them around the spinning thing
