Floor Mats: A Beginner's Guide
Learning about floor mats is not as mentally challenging as studying quantum mechanics, but there is some key information to go over before making a decision. When you have all the facts, you are in a better position to choose the ideal set of floor mats for your vehicle. In this preliminary section, we'll take a quick look at 2 crucial questions:
Simply stated, your vehicle's carpet has many sworn enemies who'll stop at nothing until they have transformed your once immaculate interior into a repulsive, stained and tattered mess. Here's a quick list of some of the most common flooring foes:
- Mud, moisture and grime that are tracked-in on shoes, and then ground deep into your carpet.
- Sticky sodas, boiling coffee and on-the-go meals drenched in condiments that spill, stain and become permanent additions to your floorboards.
- Foot friction caused by entering, exiting and shifting about in your seat.
- Gum on your shoes that transfers to your flooring and dries into slabs of minty concrete.
- Crud, muck and filth that catch a ride on our shoes and end up smearing all over your nice, new and expensive vehicle interior.
North, South, East and West. Each region has its own unique weather patterns that call for different types of floor mats. If you live in an area with temperamental weather conditions, you'll want all-weather floor mats or floor liners that will fully shield your carpet from muddy galoshes and snow-covered boots. Residents of the sunny Southwest, whose weather only fluctuates between dry and drier, can feel confident about carpet floor mats.
Whatever you do in your car, wherever you live, however many passengers you have riding along, we have floor mats to cover your particular needs. To make the selection process as easy as possible, AutoAnything has divided our floor mats into two major categories: all-weather floor mats and carpet floor mats. While each category offers high-quality options for your vehicle, they provide different levels of defense.
Constructed from heavy-duty rubber, pliable vinyl or thermoplastic, all-weather floor mats put up an extreme defense against mud, snow and other shoe-born grime that inevitably find their way onto your floorboards. Whether you work out of your vehicle or just play in it, the all-weather floor mats give you a virtually indestructible barrier between your carpet and the world. Not only that, they are also incredibly easy to clean—just give them a quick bath with a hose, and they're as good as new.

Stitched together from durable nylon and Berber yarns, our carpet floor mats are soft to the touch, but put up a hard line of defense against your floorboard's enemies. Not only do these floor mats replace the ones that came with your vehicle, they're thicker and heavier to provide added protection and a longer life-span. Because the carpet floor mats come in a vast selection of colors, you are sure to find the right shade to match your interior. On top of color selection, you can further personalize your floor mats by embroidering either logos or your own personal catch-phrase.
