    What is the best cleaner for weather tech style floor mats? Looking to get them cleaned up but not leave a shine/slick surface like armor all does... any suggestions?

    Seems like any kind of soap would do a bang up job. I've never actually cleaned them other than vacuuming though.

    Any mid cleaner and a bristle brush will work. Even a little dish soap would work. Really doesnt need to be fancy

    Spray Nine heavy duty cleaner. Brought my two year old Husky floor mats back to new. Spray on, let set ten minutes. Lightly scrub with soft brush. Rinse and dry.

    I knock on the WeatherTech was they get dirty and are hard to clean. Regular cleaners like 409 or Windex did not work. I tried Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax--it worked like a charm and did not leave the mats slippery or shiny.

    None as of yet
    2nd for simple green. Just spray on.. Let soak a little to loosen up any gunk and then scrub with a stiff brush and rinse. Air dry.
    First thing I do when washing the truck so they can dry the rest of the time and are ready to go back in by the time I finished up.

    After a good scrubbing I use mop and glow mixed with water for a nice non slippery shine. Makes cleaning later super easy and keeps them looking better longer.

    I also heard STP "son of a gun" cleaner works pretty well, similar to the mothers I'm sure. Thank you guys for the info, tonight will be the true test!
