Anyone got any tips for cleaning matts up?

My ED30 matts need a good cleaning! (red stitching needs cleaning up)

Ended up getting the karcher out and blasting them. Then Vanish carpet shampoo! Just on the line now drying (probably not too well as its gonna piss it down any second!)

Jet washer works really well but they take a long time to dry. (unless you have a vax or similar)

Be careful with jetwash as you can ruin them by knockig the pile out of the base.

Interior shampoo and a brush will scrub'em up. Can use pressure washer but from farther away.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Recently tackled mine wigh a stiff brush and soke diluted washing powder. Came up like new! Just took a LOT of rinsing and drying but spot on results.  The GTI bit is red again!
