Proper care of EVA car mats: simple tips

EVA mats have quickly gained popularity among car owners due to their unique structure. These "honeycombs" perfectly collect and retain dirt, water and snow, leaving shoes dry and the interior clean. However, in order for the mats to effectively perform their function and serve for a long time, they need proper and regular care, which will be discussed in this article. You can also improve the interior of your car and make it more comfortable by using tuning accessories, a huge selection of which is available in our product catalog.

Why do EVA mats require special care?

The main feature is the honeycombs. All the moisture and debris accumulates in them. If you simply shake the mat, most of the fine sand and dirt will remain inside the honeycombs. Therefore, a more thorough approach is required for complete cleaning.

The process of proper cleaning

Regular cleaning of EVA mats involves a few simple steps:

• Shaking: First, shake the mat vigorously to remove large debris, leaves, and the bulk of the water or snow.
• Washing with water: Rinse the mats thoroughly with water. It is best to do this under pressure - from a hose or at a car wash.
• Cleaning the cells: To remove stuck-on dirt, use a soft brush or high-pressure water jet (keep a reasonable distance to avoid damaging the material). Go over the entire surface, washing out the contents of the cells.
• Using detergents: For heavy soiling, you can use a regular, non-aggressive car shampoo or soap solution. Do not use solvents or aggressive chemicals.
• Drying: Allow the mats to dry completely spread out before placing them back in the cabin.

What should be avoided?

When caring for EVA mats, it is not recommended to:

• Use aggressive chemicals.
• Dry under direct sunlight or near strong heat sources - the material may deform.
• Bend the mats tightly during storage to avoid creases.

Simple and regular care for EVA mats will preserve their functionality, appearance, and cleanliness in your car's interior for a long time.
