Carpets & Mats

I have a 2011MY 118TSI. I'm after some advice on how others keep their golf's carpets and matts looking clean. It seems that everytime I put my feet on them they leave everything that was on the soles of my shoes. I've vacuumed the carpet & mats on the weekend and only used the car twice but they are quickly starting to show everything that I have walked on!

Being totally honest with you mate, it all depends on QUALITY of the mats. I am a car detailing fanatic..... practically vacuum my car every single week and of all the cars i've owned, the cheapo ****ty mats that i've had in the past are absolutely crap. No matter how much you vacuum them they will always trap dust and then look worn out after about a year.

Now i have good quality ones in the 1 series and they always look new after a vacuum. They just dont seem to trap dirt as much. Kinda like a good short pile carpet compared to a ****ty nylon one.

My Golf mats aren't too hard to keep clean (not an anal standard of cleanliness though). Some have got those easy to clean rubber mats but they might not be what you want.

I have the same problem! At the moment I'm looking at the oem vw monster mats. They are made of rubber with a honeycomb grid which will trap all sorts of stuff. They are not as nice looking as carpet mats but a great alternative. The cheapest I've seen them can be found on amazon for around the $100 mark. This includes all 4 mats.

I use small aftermarket mats in the front that sit on top of the standard (on GTI and R) Golf mats. I just pick them up and give them a brush off with my hand every few days, and the stock mats remain clean and unmarked. I certainly prefer that as I have a tendency to mark mats with my heel due to the orientation of my foot on the accelerator.

as much as i love the golf carpet floor mats, keeping them clean is close to impossible, especially if you use the car often. i tried washing them once and they turned stiff and hard (i probably destroyed them). gave up and bought a set of 3M floor mats. way easier to clean, though they are rubber and smell like ass the first couple of days.

I triple coated my carpets with Scotchguard from Woolies. Never had a problem with even wet dirty feet (not muddy), always comes out looking new after vacuum.

I thought the purpose of floor mats was to keep the carpets clean and by default get dirty.

Do we all sit on plastic covers on our sofas as well?

Think of it more like wax on clearcoat.. anyway I am with you

yep, the mats are a consumerable. they r supposed to get dirty and worn while protecting the carpet underneath. run them until they have a hole and buy a new set.

Do they make the monster mats in RHD?

This sounds like the go especially with some after market matts that dasrattles mentions. Thanks for your help and advice
