Cleaning floor mats
New to forum, glad to be here. I have a 2012 Lariat 4x4. Is there a way to clean my Weathertech floor mats and bring back a nice black shine without making them slippery?
Thanks,
Bob

Clean and nice black shine are two different things...
I'd clean em' with a quality All Purpose Cleaner (Even Simple Green Might work)
I like Blackfire ACP. NOTE: Make sure the APC pH is neutralized after cleaning!
Then I would coat them with something to give then that "nice black shine".
I might suggest Capro DLUX...but I'm not sure how it would wear underfoot.
Many "dressing" type products can & will wind up on the bottom of your shoes.
I might suggest calling Weathertech and asking them what they suggest.

I always scrub well with simple green, allow to dry and then apply Hyper Dressing to them. It does make them a little slick but not near as bad as some of the other products that I have used before. It holds up well usually allows me to just rinse them off for two or three washes before doing the whole process again. Granted, I usually was every week if not every other with the amount of gravel I drive.

Thanks guys, I called Weather Tech yesterday, yes they were doing support on Sunday.
They were great. I bought their Tech Liner cleaning kit for $25.00. Weather tech said it won't dry slippery, which was my main concern. If this stuff works, I will apply it to my rubber pads on the side step bars too. Here is a pic of my loved 2012 F150.

Keep us posted on how the "Tech Liner cleaning kit works". I want the dirt removed but I don't want anything shinier than the original Weather Tech finish.
