My grey Q45 floor mats were really getting pretty nasty so I decided to pick up some kind of carpet cleaner. I bought Blue Coral upholstery cleaner in the blue can with the blue scrub brush by the nozzle, and it worked great! I brought both front mats inside today, vacuumed then off then used the Blue Coral. At first just hit the stains, then decided to do the entire mat. Waited till it dried then did it again to hit the spots that were still visible, waited then vacuumed. Brought it back to almost brand new, and it smells great too. Picked it up at an AutoZone. Recommended.

Yeah... that's good stuff. I have used it in the past before. Now I have a steam cleaner with an upholstry attachment - but it's still nice for spot cleaning between deep cleans.

I think it's about $5/can.

5$ at the most!!! think it was less, actually. does an amazing job! don't be afraid to do repeat treatments, though. let dry then do again.

i'm not guarenteeing really deep stains, but made mine 1000% better. i did do about 3 treatments, with lots of scrubbing with the built in brush, but much, much better. a world better than giving to a detail shop for a hundred bucks though!!!!! give this a shot first.

I have tried BLue Coral and it does work well.

Another product I like is Folex Stain Remover. This is designed for interior house carpets, but does wonders for stubborn stains on car mats too! Available at your local Orchard Supply or Home Depot.

I've been using Blue Coral for many many years now. It was once chosen as the top carpet/upholstery cleaner by consumer reports magazine and used to come in a spray bottle till they switched to the can. If you scrub then wipe the area with a damp rag, it cleans even better. It's made to lift the dirt to the surface then you vacum once dry.

This stuff has been around for quite a while and is still requires a lot of arm and shoulder work but, the finished product is worth while! I found two brand new cans in my shed today so now I guess I'll put it to good use!
