This has to be the easiest thing I done. Kingsford left some nice, R mats in my car that were a sorry state. Just took em out to scrub em, walked past washing machine, squeezed em in with size 10's and they all sparkly and new!
Winner!

I used a carpet washer and my magic pink stuff on Graham's mats and they came up brand new.
There's no way I could get the mats near the washing machine after the incident with the dishwasher and the bonnet catch...

Well-chuffed as even the pile is like new!
