Disappointed with Tesla's all weather mats

[BBB4000]

Has anyone else had issues cleaning their Tesla all weather mats? I picked these up in December 2016 and just can not get them cleaned. I have tried soap & water, soaking in soap, scrubbing, etc. The pics are after I cleaned the mats over the weekend.

For what these mats cost I am really disappointed with their quality. I have had mats from Lexus and other manufacturers that look good as new after a simple rinse.

what are you soiling the mats with? I have the same mats and they don't have the problems you are

I usually use a brush like the ones you scrub pots with. I could see pressure washing them as well.
Hope that helps. Mine tend to get dirty as well, but I look at it like, atleast thats not on my carpet.

I agree, and don't use Armor All on them.

it's just dirt dragged in after a rainy day. nothing crazy.

simple green + tire brush, or if you have a pressure washer.

I have tried a brush and pressure washing, to no avail

how do you still have the 'tesla' stickers on your mats if you have tried to clean them? mine came off/fell out before I even tried to clean my mats the first time.
how about some plastic/rubber cleaner for cars? I have problems getting the black plastic clean on the sides of the car where the battery is and some of this stuff helps
maybe peroxide..or vinegar?

Those aren't stickers, they are part of the rubber.

so did Tesla sell me knock off versions ?
the rubber 'Tesla' pieces are/were just stuck in on my mats. one sunny day and they unstuck. but this was in 2013 or so, pretty sure they use weather tech mats with stickers

I just cleaned mine yesterday. I have never had much luck making this type of rubber/plastic mats looking like new but I thought mine cleaned up reasonably well. I used Meguiar's interior cleaner.

This has been my experience with all Weather Tech mats. You cant scrub the ugly away. I wont buy them anymore.

If this is true, that's crap. I've had excellent all weather mats from a variety of other auto manufacturers that look amazing even after several years. And they cost 1/3 to 1/2 the price.

These, they are holding up real well, get great Amazon reviews too. They come in colors also so I have the grey ones that match my grey interior.

Tough Pro's and Lloyds get pretty good reviews too.

They are made by WeatherTech. I powerwash mine and use WeatherTechs:

TechCare FloorLiner and FloorMat Cleaner/Protector - KIT | WeatherTech.ca

Good as new.

Have you tried cleaning without this product? I'm curious if it's this particular spray that does the trick. I also don't love the idea of spending $50 on mat cleaner after already spending $250 on mats. These things should be self cleaning

I have purchased WeatherTech floor mats for all of my cars over the years, as I live in a snow/slush part of the world. Their cleaning kit is the only cleaner that I have found that can keep them looking new.

I agree. The cleaner works and the protector restores the nice matt finish.
