Rubber has a very strong odor, especially when it is new. If you purchased a set of rubber floor mats for your car, you will want to remove the rubber smell before you set them inside of the car. Otherwise, the inside of car will begin to smell like rubber. You can use common household products to get rid of the rubber odor.
Instructions
1. Place 1 cup of warm water, 1 cup of ammonia, 1/2 cup of vinegar, and 1/4 cup of baking soda in a small bucket and stir to combine. Make Stuff and Boston Apartments both use combinations of ammonia, vinegar and baking soda in their homemade cleaner recipes. In addition to their cleaning abilities, ammonia, vinegar and baking soda are all also capable of removing strong odors.
2. Set your rubber mats in a bathtub. Dip a rag in the bucket and use the homemade solution to wipe down the rubber mats.
3. Rinse the mats off with water from the bathtub faucet.
4. Set the rubber mats out in the sun to dry. The sun has natural oxidizing agents, and will also get rid of any leftover rubber smells.
Tips Warnings
You can also wash your rubber floor mats with a pine scented cleaner. Make sure you dilute the pine cleaner in water before you use it to wipe down your floor mats.
