It's ok, it's only a Suzuki Swift.

C'mon Doc, is the Solar System that devoid of interesting topics that you seriously don't know with what to clean rubber mats with
Soapy water always worked well with me, as for the brand of suds I don't think it matters that much, rubber taints from it's first soiling and as long as the water is wet then it will suffice.

Better than that. I know a Police Traffic Driver called Graham Findlayter, whom decided to smarten up the Traffic Cars rubber mats by wiping Cockpit Shine on them at the end of his shift. Needless to say when the next shift came on, they had a nasty surprise just getting out of the back of the Police Station and had Hell washing the stuff off. They had to be held back from visiting Grahams home and stripping his clothes off and put ting Cockpit shine somewhere else!

What is this "clean" thing you mention?

Use a pressure washer but remember to leave the car doors open for the water to escape
