KEEPING your car's floor mats clean can be a tedious chore.
But a TikTok video shows three common cleaning items that can help you hit the refresh button on your car's appearance.
The TikTok’s creator, shveet_matt, uses just three items - interior detailer, a diluted all-purpose cleaner, and an old leather scrubbing brush - to clean his vehicle’s floor mats.
But he says the real secret behind a perfect clean is not to leave the mats to dry in the sun.
He explains that the brush should be stiff and soft to get the best results.
The video’s host calls the Meguiar’s brand cleaner “the best bang for your buck as far as all-purpose cleaners go.”
He begins by spraying a generous amount of the liquid cleaner onto the mats, before scrubbing the cleaner into all sections of the mats with the brush.
You wrap up the that application by rinsing the liquid off with a hose.
The video’s presenter emphasized the importance of not drying the floor mats outside in sunlight, as it will make the mats fade quickly.
He suggests drying the mats with a towel or outside in a shaded area instead.
When the mat is dry, he suggests applying P&S brand Interior Detailer in the same way - spraying it on and then scrubbing with the brush.
Again, he recommends drying in the shade or with a towel, not in direct sunlight.
TikTok user Matthew Hernandez shared that the video’s tips were fresh news to him by commenting, “Fuhhhhhh I dry mine out in the Texas sun. Not anymore. Didn’t realize it did that to them.”
Other members of TikTok’s DIY were also quick to share their own cleaning tips.
TikTok user Uriel Enriquez commented, “Would def recommend using mckees rubber rejuvenator, cleans and protects in one w no slickness”
The creator of this TikTok, Mega_matt ends his video advising that it’s dangerous to dress your floor mats.
Some drivers dress their floor mats with sprays that give them a shiny appearance.
But it can leave the mats slick, making them dangerous while getting in and out of the vehicle.
