SE floor mat

I got this for free

Before ( the black spot at the top is gum )



After ( it was still wet so it looks kinda weird still )

What are you using to remove the stains? edit: just spotted the simple green bottle. Isn't that a bit harsh on the carpet?

No simple green actually works very well on carpet

I used simple green and scrubbed it real good then i pressure washed it at a do it yourself car wash. First i used high pressure water+soap then i washed the soap out, took it home and vacuumed it.

Nice mats!

I suggest put a cover on top to hide the stain. Besides i think it originally had a scuff protector on top anyway (see the glue border).

I recommend it as you hit 4 birds in one stone.

1) You are actually restoring it to its original look
2) you get rid of the stain
3) You add more durability to the carpet by not wearing it down with the heel 4) Being a driver side the scuff protector actually makes it easier to clean.

My opinion only

What do you mean a " cover "

Arent floor mats designed to cover the carpet to protect that? Now i need to protect the things protecting the carpet

In short Yes.

Its called a heel protector. Either a double layer of carpet, vinyl or rubber.

Its there only on the driver side as the drivers right heel digs only at one spot on the carpet (for brake and gas pedal pivoting). I can see that on yours.

Its a Civic floor mat but you get the picture.

I dont believe floor mats have imbeded steel in them.

At least not where i am.

They are usually secured form slipping via a single hole in the carpet with a anchor hooked to the metal floor pan or just via the many rubber nodules at the back of the mats griping on the existing carpet.
