Car Mats are easily forgettable. Unlike other car accessories they are generally not in the line of sight of a driver, unless you've dropped your keys. Only then do you realise how long you've neglected them. But, clean, properly fitted, tailored car mats can make all the difference to the feel of a car. Once you have replaced them you will realise the effect it can have on the newness of your car.
If your car mats are just looking grubby, but are not badly deteriorated then a good valet cleaning may be all that is in order. Car mats are quite a pain to wash yourself, it's easier in the summer when you can use your outdoor space to clean and dry them. But it is generally in the winter that moisture and mud accumulate. Calling on the services of a professional valet service is advisable in these circumstances.
If, however, you can see that your car mats are looking threadbare, damaged or crumpled it is best to get them replaced. Many people are tempted to replace the original car mats with universal car mats, however, tailored car mats are neater and safer. If you invest in quality tailored car mats they will need replacing less frequently and good quality carpet is also much easier to clean and maintain.
If your car mats are kept in poor condition you don't have to look at them to notice the side effects. Floor mats that are kept damp can grow mould and begin to smell musty. Old car mats are generally responsible for old car smell.
Tailored car mats can be purchased quite cheaply without compromising quality if bought directly from a car mat manufacturer. Protecting the floor of your car is one thing, but well maintained car mats can give your car an overall sense of newness and revive your driving enjoyment.
