Rubber floor mats are an extremely popular type of mat due to the fact that they are strong, don’t damage easily, and are not hard to clean or to maintain. If you have rubber floor mats and they get damaged, they can be fixed using a repair kit. Take these steps to repair damaged rubber floor mats.

Step 1 - Rinse Mat

Take the hose and rinse off the rubber floor mats with water to get off any dirt or other debris.

Step 2 - Clean Mat

Add some liquid dish soap to a pail of water and get it soapy. Take the cleaning brush and dip it into the soapy water. Scrub the rubber floor mat. Make sure you get into all the cracks and crevices. Shake it out and let it dry.

Step 3 - Inspect for Damage

Look over the mats to find all damage. This can include rips, stains, or missing rubber.

Step 4 - Repair with Rubber Repair Kit

Take the repair kit and glue any ripped or torn pieces of the rubber floor mats together. The kit can be used to fill in the areas where sections of rubber are gone. Clean off any extra glue from the kit with a wet rag. Then, rinse it off and let it dry.
