How can I keep the indoor mats clean?

Hi,

I have just got a new CLK and have realised that because the inside is a light colour, the mats etc on the floor get dirty with people shoes etc.

What would be the best way to avoid this?

Thanks

Options:

1) Replaced with all weather mats.
2) Buy new mats whenever you cannot stand the dirt
3) Clean it with carpet shampoo everytime you wash your car
4) Get a set of charcoal mats
5) Dont use mats at all

I have stone interior and I bought a set (front & back) of clear plastic mats from Mercedes that I put over the carpet mats. They keep the carpet mats clean and they are very easy to just wipe clean.

Hey mate,

I will post some pics later today, because the weather here aint too nice (in UK) and I want to take some with the hood down.

I have some photos here (the day i got it) but they were taken on my cell phone and are quite bad quality.

They can be viewed here www.mrpimp.co.uk then goto CLK

I will also upload more there within 24 hours.

Also if anyone wants me to put a photo of their CLK on it, lemme know, just email the the photo to webmaster@mrpimp.co.uk

Thanks

Mercedes
I don't know if this will help, but at leas that is what I did for all of the floor on my ML. Some people say that the vinyl material will smell bad but I've had this from Dec2002 and I do not smell something bad. and hope won't smell anything bad

Good Luck

Mercedes for 2004 will have all weather floor mats in three different colors. I have the all weather floor mats that are black but I will be getting the 2004 all weather floor mats when they come available they look like they will cover more of the carpet and I will get the grey you can find them on the mercedes web site when you build a car under accesories. Check them out. I called the dealer and was not able to order untill 2004. If anyone has these let me know.

If you want to go OEM all-weather mats, then u can go to dealer...not sure how much they charge ($100 for a set of 4?). They do a pretty good job at keeping the carpets underneath pretty clean.

I just went to autozone and picked up some all weather mats (deeper grooves than MB OEM's for holding more crud from shoes) it's worked well so far and for $20, can't go wrong.

Thanks for the info guys,

I went to the Merc showroon and they recommended the rubber black water proof type.

Thanks for all your help

I have the ash (gray) interior...

and not only do the light mats show so much more dirt but I thought it made the interior look monotonous so I bought a set of the regular charcoal (black) carpets and it highlights the color scheme much nicer.
