    My floor mats and carpet look pretty bad....I tried using various carpet cleaners and tried oxi clean which helped, but they still don`t look that great. The carpet and floor mats are neutral (tan).

    Any ideas or recommendations?

    Thanks!

    try a degreaser and then use a power washer to clean them...just dont get too close with the pressure washer because it can atually un-stitch the carpet material...

    well, I was thinking somethinga little more aggressive...

    what I`ve done before is gone to the coin pressure wash stations and selected the wheel cleaning setting (it sprays a whitish detergent out, which breaks down the brake dust) and sprayed that onto the mats. Let it sit for a minute, maybe even scrub it in with a brush and then rinse with high pressure water. You need to rinse for like 2 minutes each mat to get all the soap out. then let them hang for a day
