Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows whether you can put the carpets from cars through the washing machine? I'm worried it'll lose it's shape

Yes

My moms had wash my zebra mats for 2 times in the washing machine!

Dementia is a terrible thing.

*Edit: Are you talking about the actual carpets, not the mats?

Sorry guys I should've been more clear, I mean the actual carpet from the car, I've taken a photo this time



Not carpet mats, I know they can be washed and have done it before

Will that even fit in a washing machine?
If it does, I'd give it a try. Low temperature, slow spin.

Currently washing a carpet with a vax I've borrowed. It's working well!

I reckon it'll fit, scrunched up. But I'm worried if it gets wet whilst in a ball it might lose the shape of the floor pan It definitely needs washing though - the sunroof on my Golf leaked and the floor was filled with stagnant water stinks of rotten eggs in there now I'm basically having to strip the car down to the shell inside to clean it - I'm thinking I might just leave it stripped

Ok, it doesn't fit, can't make it into a ball small enough how else can I clean it?

Take it down to your local hand car valet jobbie and bung them a couple of quid to run a carpet cleaner over it?

Hire or borrow a carpet cleaner and give it a beast with it. You can hire a rug doctor cleaner from most supermarkets for around£30.
