This has to be the easiest thing I done. Kingsford left some nice, R mats in my car that were a sorry state. Just took em out to scrub em, walked past washing machine, squeezed em in with size 10's and they all sparkly and new!

Winner!

I used a carpet washer and my magic pink stuff on Graham's mats and they came up brand new.

There's no way I could get the mats near the washing machine after the incident with the dishwasher and the bonnet catch...

No I was thinking of 30 degrees, so fabric softener or no fabric softener? ;)

My machine is fekked and only does red-hot wash. The mats were is such a state I doubled the powder and gambled it. One hour on radiator then 20 mins under sofa to flatten out.....

They have come out mint!

Just got head torch out with ext lead and vac, cleaned all car out and re-fitted now.

Well-chuffed as even the pile is like new!
