Geezus! How big is your washing machine? Take 'em out and use a steam cleaner if you must; but the washing machine?

I opted for the removal. Just get some weathertech or suitable floor liners and call it a day.

I agree. I just figured he wanted them extra clean, so I recommended steam. I sure wouldn't bother.

X's 2 here.

But if you must. Lay them on clean concrete. Wet with hose. Scrub with a mild soap solution and scrub brush. Rinse with hose. Let dry in the sun.

It's awful thick in some spots, I think you would have a hard time washing it in any machine. I'd go the steam route if you were going to try.
