Clean floor mats with dishwasher.

Leave them outside in the sun to dry. You could also put cloth floor mats in the dryer. You ll be amazed how sparkling clean hubcaps can be after a hot water cycle. To dry cloth floor mats hang them up somewhere or dry them in a dryer.

Bang the gunk off of your car mats and then lay them over the top rack of your dishwasher. A car detailer told me this was the secret to sparkly hub caps.

You can also sprinkle a cup of baking soda on the floor of an empty dishwasher and run a short cycle on the hottest setting to clean the interior and kill odors. Floor mats get a damp musky smell if not dry. You could also spray them with a clean fresh scent. Dry the floor mats thoroughly.

Shake off excess soil and place mats on the bottom or top racks of the dishwasher. This will also help freshen the smell. You will love the finished product. If the cup holders are removable in your car give them a weekly cleaning on the top rack to get rid of sticky spills.
