bed mat slippery

Bought an OEM bedmat from the dealer and when I first got it, it was great. . even fairly lightweight items stayed put.

Now, after a month and a fair amount of rainstorms, it's looking a little discolored and it's slippery in comparison to how it was.

Don't get me wrong. . cinderblocks aren't going anywhere, but a medium size cardboard box would slide all around back there now.

Has everyone else noticed the same, and if so, is there a way to restore that initial better grip of the rubber surface. . method of cleaning, etc.?

you havent cleaned it with anything have you? No oil spilled on it?

 

no, and no

It's only had a few dry solid items on it (boxes, a bike, grocery bags, etc.) and been rained on. . that's it

 

I have an aftermarket one and washing it with Simple Green turned it whitish but still rubbery. Try some detergent on it?

 

Mine has never been slippery. Even after multiple rains and washes.

 

i cant help i have a cap on my truck. its way too non-slip for me. anything heavy is impossible to get out.i had to put a gang box in and take it out by myself....i almost shit my pants pulling it out.l

 

Weird. Mine is still very sticky. It's been rained on and pressure washed every time I was my truck. Not sure what else to say.
