Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide + Real-World Product Tips
Updated on Jun 3, 2025
Let’s get this out of the way upfront: Husky Liners® Weatherbeater™ Floor Liners are built to take a serious beating. Despite their awesome durability and performance, even the most rugged floor mats need a little TLC to keep doing their job and looking good doing it.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to clean Husky Floor Liners using an easy process tested on a set of liners after 90 days of Colorado dirt, salt, and grime. We’ll walk through the tools, cleaning products, and protectants that deliver pro-level results from your own driveway.
Your floor liners might be made for messes, but that doesn’t mean they should stay dirty.
Regular cleaning keeps your Weatherbeater floor liners from accumulating road salt, mud, and debris that can fade the finish or degrade the material over time. A quick clean every few weeks helps them last longer, look better, and keep your vehicle’s interior looking great.
Routine maintenance also speeds up and simplifies deeper cleaning. Waiting months to clean baked-in dirt means more scrubbing, time, and effort.
Here’s what you’ll need to clean and restore Husky Floor Liners without damaging the surface:
Item | Purpose |
Soft or stiff-bristle brush | Helps lift debris and scrub surface grime |
Hose or pressure washer | Provides a strong rinse to remove dirt and soap |
Microfiber towel | Ideal for drying without scratching |
Optional but highly recommended: a powered detailing brush for serious buildup.
Follow these simple steps for a deep clean and restoration
Step 1: Remove the LinersTake the Husky Floor Liners out of your vehicle and give them a firm shake to get rid of loose dirt and debris. Doing this outside helps keep your carpet clean.
Step 2: Rinse the LinersUse a hose or pressure washer to rinse off dirt and grime. For heavier buildup, you can mix a little mild soap or Formula 409 with water and scrub with a stiff-bristle brush.
Step 3: Scrub (If Needed)If dirt is stubborn, gently scrub the liners with a brush using water or a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
Step 4: Rinse AgainRinse thoroughly to make sure no soap or dirt is left behind. Any leftover residue can attract more dirt later.
Step 5: Let Them DryAllow the liners to air dry completely in a shaded, ventilated area. This helps avoid streaking and moisture getting trapped underneath.
Step 6: ReinstallOnce dry, lock the liners back into place in your vehicle. Your interior is now clean and ready for whatever adventures come your way.
What Not To Do:
Don’t use bleach, harsh solvents, or petroleum-based cleaners
Avoid wire brushes or abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface
Never use household floor waxes or tire shine products. These can create slippery surfaces
To get the most life out of your liners, follow these extra care tips
Avoid folding the liners
Clean up spills as soon as they happen. The longer you wait, the harder they are to remove.
