Cleaning Rubber Floor Mats

{
Warning
Do not use cleaners that contain
silicone, wax-based products,
or cleaners that increase gloss on
rubber floor mats/liners. These
cleaners can permanently change
the appearance and feel of the
rubber and can make the floor
mats/liners slippery. Your foot
could slip while operating the
vehicle, and you could lose control,
resulting in a crash. You or others
could be injured.
Use a soft cloth and/or a brush
dampened with water to remove dust
and loose dirt. For more thorough
cleaning, use a mild soap solution.
