The condition of car mats sometimes leaves much to be desired. However, you don't need to go to a car wash to clean them—you can do it yourself at home, and most importantly, effectively.

Car mats protect the vehicle's floor by trapping dirt, dust, and sand and preventing them from spreading throughout the interior. However, they occasionally require thorough cleaning.

How best to do this to restore their original appearance? Vacuuming is not enough; more robust measures are needed. You don't have to take the car to a detailing salon. You can use a popular method that is gaining recognition on TikTok.
