How to keep car mats clean?

Try closing your eyes whenever you are in the car, then you won't see the dirt. Alternatively, trying turning the radio up.

Either take a wheelbarrow full of money to the dealer for your car and purchase a set of tailored mats, or simply go to eBay, type the model of your car and "mats" and you can buy a set of "top quality" tailored mats that fit perfectly and look quite good for the 3 months they last for about £15.

EDIT: Rob has said the same above (apart from the 3 month life, I suppose they last longer if you keep your feet off them, my heel has tunnelled right through mine.)

Since I saw this comment I had a look at my one month old mats. The heel will probably go through them in 2 more, but they fit so nice!!

Hi folks

My car mats are getting dirtier and worn out day by day.

Can someone suggest what can I put over them in order to keep them clean?

Thanks

Can you not use the overshoes that are used in hospitals?, & a surgical mask & gloves should keep things clean:rotfl:

I put mine in black bin bags and change the bags once a month.

In fairness though I do have a set of rubber mats over the carpet mats in the front of both of our cars - mainly for winter for catching water, mud and slurry that seems to come with living in the uk.

I once had a Volvo 360GLT (inherited, not my first choice of motor) and that had the most superb mats ever. Fully-fitted, heavy rubber, with a rim round all edges about 1" deep. I was told it was to hold the meltwater from the snow that came in on the driver's shoes. It certainly worked and kept the proper carpets immaculate.
