The Best Way to Clean Your Weather Tech Mats
Weather Tech mats are a great way to keep your car clean, but they can get pretty dirty pretty quickly. Here’s a quick and easy way to clean your mats so they’ll look like new again.
What You Will Need
In order to clean your Weather Tech mats, you will need the following supplies:
-Bucket
-Mild dish soap
-Warm water
-Hose
-Toothbrush (optional)
Step One: Vacuum
Before you start any cleaning, it’s important to remove as much dirt and debris as possible from your Weather Tech mats. The best way to do this is to vacuum them with an attachment that has bristles, like the upholstery attachment on most vacuums. If you don’t have a vacuum with this attachment, you can also use a stiff brush. Be sure to vacuum (or brush) in both directions to loosen any dirt that might be stuck in the grooves of the mat.
Step Two: Shampoo
After you have vacuumed your mats, it’s time to shampoo them. You can use any type of cleaner that you would use on your carpet, but we recommend using a cleaner that is specifically designed for mats. This will help to ensure that your mats are not damaged during the cleaning process.
To shampoo your Weather Tech Mats, you will need:
-A mat cleaning shampoo
-A bucket
-A sponge or brush
-A hose
Step One: Fill your bucket with warm water and add the appropriate amount of mat cleaning shampoo according to the instructions on the bottle.
Step Two: Dip your sponge or brush into the soapy water and begin scrubbing the mat. Be sure to pay special attention to any areas that seem extra dirty.
Step Three: Once you have scrubbed the entire mat, rinse it off with a hose. Make sure that all of the soap is removed from the mat before moving on to the next step.
Step Four: Allow the mat to air dry completely before using it again.
Step Three: Rinse
Be sure to rinse your mats thoroughly. If you don’t rinse them, the dirt and soap will just end up re-depositing on your mats and they’ll get dirty again very quickly.
Step Four: Dry
Once you’ve scrubbed and rinsed your mats, it’s time to dry them. The best way to do this is to set them in the sun for a few hours, or if you don’t have access to sunlight, put them in front of a fan. If you live in a humid climate, it’s especially important to make sure your mats are completely dry before storing them, as this will prevent mold and mildew from growing on them.
Additional Tips
You can clean your mats with a garden hose and a little bit of soap. You can also use a power washer, but be careful not to damage the mats. You can also buy a mat cleaner from your local store.
Avoiding Damage
To clean your Weather Tech mats, it is important to avoid damaging them. Use a soft brush or cloth when cleaning to avoid scratching the surface. Do not use any harsh chemicals or solvents on your mats, as this can damage the material.
Storing Your Mats
If you need to store your mats for any length of time, it is best to do so in a cool and dry environment. An attached garage would be ideal, as long as it does not get too hot or too cold in there. If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, you should store your mats in a temperature-controlled storage unit.
Conclusion
In conclusion, you have now learned the best way to clean your Weather Tech mats. By following the simple steps in this guide, you can keep your mats looking new for years to come. Thanks for reading!
