 Tip of the Week: 🧼 WeatherTech Floor Mat Maintenance Guide

1️⃣ Regular Cleaning (Every 2–4 Weeks)
✔️ Remove Mats from Vehicle
Always clean them outside the truck — this prevents water from getting into the carpet.
✔️ Rinse First
Use a hose to remove loose dirt, mud, and gravel.
Shake out debris from channels and edges.
✔️ Wash With Mild Cleaner
Use mild dish soap + warm water
Scrub with a soft brush or microfiber cloth
Focus on grooves and raised edges
⚠️ Avoid harsh degreasers — they can leave the mats looking dull or chalky.
🚿 Pressure Washing (Safe — With Caution)
Keep nozzle at least 12–18 inches away
Avoid focusing on edges for long periods
Do not use hot steam
Too much pressure can warp edges over time.
🌤 Drying
Air dry fully before reinstalling
Lay flat in shade
Avoid direct extreme heat (like leaving them in the sun in 100°+ temps)
Reinstalling while wet can trap moisture in the carpet.
🧴 Restoring Appearance (If They Look Dull)
Over time, WeatherTech mats can develop a hazy look from soap residue or hard water.
Best Option:
Use WeatherTech TechCare® Cleaner & Protector
Alternative:
Rinse thoroughly after cleaning
Wipe down with a damp microfiber towel
Avoid silicone-based “tire shine” products — they make mats slippery and unsafe
🚫 Never apply:
Armor All
Tire gloss
Oil-based dressings
They create a slick surface.
🧂 Winter Salt Maintenance
Salt buildup can:
Cause white staining
Harden over time
To remove:
Warm water soak (5–10 minutes)
Scrub with soft brush
Rinse thoroughly
🛠 Keep Them Properly Positioned
Make sure retention clips are secured
Flatten any curled edges
Check that debris isn’t stuck underneath
Improper fit reduces protection and can be a safety issue.
