If you are a Jeep owner then you more than likely have a tendency to take that Jeep off road every once in a while. Even if you tend to stick to the highway, every single time you get in and out of your Jeep you are putting dirt and other ground grime into the carpet of your Jeep. You may have even stepped in gum or (heaven forbid) animal scat and then tracked it into your Jeep. You may have kids or even pets that have stained your Jeep carpet. We have all spilled drinks before…those spills lead to even more stains.
How do we protect the floors in our Jeeps and keep them looking and even smelling nice? Read on to find out.
Floor Mats
Floor mats are a great way to protect the investment that you have in your vehicle. They are easily installed…most of them you just lay on top of the floor of the vehicle. They come in different sizes and styles depending on what type of vehicle you have. Anyway, they can protect your carpets from dirt and spills. They are as easy to remove as they are to put in and that means that they are easy to clean.
Manufacturers
There are too many manufacturers of floor mats for me to go through them all here. You can find them easily on the internet. To find floor mats in general, your local parts house will have them. Your local big box store will also have them. Just today I saw at least 5 different vendors at my local flea market who were selling quality floor mats. In other words, you can find them nearly anywhere.
Materials
The materials in various vehicle floor mats will vary. Most have a rubber backing and then fiber carpeting on the side that shows. There are some though that are made entirely of rubber. This type is probably the easiest to clean as you just simply hose them off. All of the materials used in the making of floor mats though makes them both durable and protective to your original Jeep carpet.
Customizing
Yes, you can even get custom floor mats. My cousin got some for Christmas one year with Elvis on them along with her name for the driver’s side and her husband’s name for the passenger side. Now, you may not be that much of an Elvis fan, but that was just to illustrate my point. You can get nearly anything on them. Around here the most popular designs have to do with SEC football and Roll Tide! (Scariest words in college football for those who are not football fans) What do you want yours to have on them?
