How to Clean Rubber and Vinyl Floor Mats with Mat ReNew

Quick answer

Use Mat ReNew Cleaner and Protectant to clean and restore rubber and vinyl floor mats without leaving a greasy or slippery finish.

How to clean rubber and vinyl floor mats with Mat ReNew

1. 1. Remove the mat and shake off loose debris: Take the mat out of the vehicle or room. Shake or vacuum off loose dirt, sand, and pebbles. This prevents scratching the mat surface during cleaning. Skipping this step grinds debris into the mat and reduces cleaner effectiveness.
2. 2. Apply Mat ReNew Cleaner and Protectant: Spray or pour Mat ReNew directly onto the mat. Use enough to cover the entire surface. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to break down embedded soil and stains. Do not dilute or mix with other products — it is ready to use full strength.
3. 3. Scrub with a soft-bristle brush: Work the cleaner into the mat using a soft-bristle brush or sponge. Focus on grooves and textured areas where dirt hides. Scrub in a circular motion. A stiff brush can damage the rubber or vinyl surface. Stick to soft bristles.
4. 4. Rinse thoroughly with water: Rinse the mat with a hose or pressure washer on low setting. Remove all cleaner residue. Check that no suds remain in deep grooves. Residue can cause slipperiness and attract dirt. Rinse until water runs clear.
5. 5. Shake off excess water and air dry: Shake the mat to remove standing water. Hang it or lay flat in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Sunlight can degrade rubber and vinyl. Dry in shade or indoors if possible.
