Step 2: Wash the Mat with Soap and Washing Machine

Place the mat in a tub of water with a small amount of detergent dissolved. Use a brush to scrub stubborn stains, then rinse the mat with water to remove dirt and pet hair. Squeeze out excess water before placing the mat in the washing machine. Add detergent to the soap box and select the wool-fiber washing mode.

Consider the Size of the Mat

Washing machines are suitable for washing small-sized foot mats. Large-sized mats should be hand washed to prevent damage to the machine. Make sure to check the size and weight capacity of the machine before washing the mat.

Consider the Material of the Mat

Avoid washing mats made from delicate materials like sheep wool and flannel in a washing machine, as it may damage the mat and reduce its durability. Washing machines are best suited for mats with high elasticity or soft materials like polyester fabric.
