i just bought a 95 240 w/ green interior.  i found the front factory floormats in the trunk, but they're extremely dirty.  what would be the best way to get them looking new???  some kind of shampoo and a brush???

Truth be told, I just beat the #### out of mine. Just make sure you do it outside so you don't get dust all over you and in your face.

you could always use some Resolve or something to clean out stains after beatin' them to death.

that shit will clean anything! we always use it at work specially when we get a customers interior dirty

i took some of that to my mats and scrubbed the shit outta em and i got tired mine are dirty as ####

I used to work at a car dealership. The best way we did was saturate them with shampoo, then hang them up on the wall and spray them with a high preasure sprayer. Do it like 3 times, and they get real clean. Make sure and blow dry them afterwords to get them real dry!

i used armor all multi purpose cleaner that stuff is so good  i sprayed it on the mat scrubbed with a bush and hosed them off.  then i used a wet dry vac to get most of the water out and put them in the sun - it was summer which made it easier for them to dry

LOL (funnt thing is I've actualy done that. :-P)

Goodbar6's way is the best though. &nbsp;You have to scrub them too though if they are really dirty

get an engine degreaser, an all purpose cleaner, and a stain remover, spray the mats......then get a fairly stiff brush and scrub them.....finally blast the shit out of them with a pressure washer......if they don't come out nice after that, they never will
