Let's see the detailed steps to do it.

Removing the floor mats

Remove your floor mats from your car initially. Do not try not to clean them while they are still inside the car as it makes the process a little more difficult. The mats must be cleaned outside as the application of air, water or oil to remove dirt may spread them even more. Most of the mats in today’s cars are removable, so there won’t be a problem of detachment.

Usage of vacuum as a first step

A vacuum must be used on floor mats first. Use a vacuum to ensure that you suction up all the dust particles from your car mats before you try to clean them further. Cleaning a damp carpet mat can be difficult. You could use baking soda to absorb some moisture and the foul odor by lightly sprinkling it onto the carpet floor mat and then leaving it for about 10-20 minutes, before vacuuming. Vacuum the mats on both sides, making sure to thoroughly get the dust off them.

Use water to clean

Shake the car floor mats to remove dirt. This will shake out some of the dust that gets accumulated in the rubber or cloth floor mats. Give the mat a couple of whacks against the ground. Find a hard surface to strike the floor mats against. This works for rubber and cloth mats. You might also want to use a scraper to remove hardened materials from the rubber mat before cleaning it.

Take a hose. Use a hose to simply wash the mats, but only on the dirty side of the mat. Don't make the mats wet on the downside. The hose should help you remove the loosely gathered dirt or food on the rubber car floor mats. You could also use a bucket of water, although the pressure from the hose is useful for dislodging loose materials from the mats.
