Over the winter in UK my floor mats got into a terrible state with mud and salt being trampled into them.
I had hoovered them, but that does not get rid of the real dirt and discolouration. Sadly I don't have a wet and dry, or carpet shampoo type cleaner.
Anyway I just put them in my washing machine one at a time, folded so the pile was outermost towards the drum. I ran them through on a 40C wool wash with normal washing powder tablets, and they came up really well. Dried off laid flat for a few hours in the sun and perfect.
The pile and construction did not seem to be adversely affected. They certainly did not fall apart. Result
I could not do the rear parcel shelf mat as that is too big for my washing machine
