Default Cleaned my floor mats

My OEM blue carpet floor mats were disgusting and I considered replacing them.

I took the car to a self car-wash, put the mats on the ground and blasted each one with the soap wand then high pressure water. A ton of filth and soap came out. I rinsed soap out forever. Then hung them up to dry at home.

They are like new!

Gone as in wore off or gone as in its super dirty and no longer visible. If its dirty use a folex carpet cleaner and a tooth brush and scrub it out. If its worn out maybe you can get it resown at a small embroidery shop

looks kind of missing to me. I will try again though. I doubt it will be less than $50-$100.
A new set is around $100. I could probably resell mine (the other 3 are fine).

If you really want to clean the interior, you gotta remove the seats and center console and pull out the carpet. Then vacuum, wash, dry, and reinstall. Car feels brand new inside.
