Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!
I would just buy Weather Techs.

I dunno... I`d probably get better results just letting some cleaner dwell on em for a few minutes then rising them off with a hose really well. Or pressure washer

Ron, it really beats the crap out of the mats to do that.

I wasn`t condoning it, I was asking how many would do it, since it was on msn news feed.
I thought it was weird.

Never have. Don`t think I will at least not in my machine and not my mats first time around.
I have weather techs and jeep all weather. Usually rock the fabric all summer and weather techs all winter.
In my leased vehicles I just rock what they give me and done.
Thanks for the heads up on this "tip" - I`m sure one of my non-detailing friends will be inclined to tell me all about it.
The plastic shower curtain one does work very well if your machine is top loading/ has a center agitator. However if you have a newer top loader HE machine, that spins 1K+ rpm`s, this "trick" can destroy it by getting jammed in the space between the drum and the top of machine.

Ill give it a shot with my regaular Sr mats (I`ve been looking at custom elevates so why not chance it) at the local laundry place. Will report back tonight.
and then all that dirt and grit settles down in the bottom of the washer barrel and then on the next load you wash your microfibers and they get destroyed, or your brand new white shirt, etc...not to mention it would be very hard on your washer, and with the price of a nice washing machine these days, I think pressure washing and/or extracting makes more sense.
Thanks for testing that one out! Your mats look nice and fluffy now.

I would not. I won`t even take a hose to carpeted mats if they don`t have a rubber/plastic backing. For example, the "foam" backed Benz mats...those I use an extractor only.
I would think certain mats could leave marks in a washer too.
