What does everyone use to clean/protect the all-weather mats?

As Topic.

I couldn't really find the answers using search.

I'm just wondering because usually I just rinse them with water or wipe them with a damp cloth. But these mats easily attract footprints, so they get and look dirty real quick. Now, just owning them for about two months, the floor mats look awfully dull in colour.

What do you guys use to bring back the colour of your all-weather mats? I know I shouldn't be using products like 303 or Armor All since the gloss will create a very slippery stepping surface.

Any Ideas?

I used the 303 anyway........a light wipe never made them that slippery.........just restored the color. They are out for the summer.............replaced with the "Exact Mats" - they are nice

Paint 'um the color of the dirt that gets on them the most.
303 isn't all that slick.

I use 303 on my rubber mats (not OEM). They look new when cleaned and treated and are not slippery except if they get a bit wet they can be a bit slippery but still worth it.

I clean them with dish soap. I wouldn't use Windex since it contains ammonia which might age the rubber prematurely.
