Acura Integra Carpet Floor Mats
Floor mats can provide the interior in your Integra or Acura RDX with a protective layer, which can reduce future repairs and touch-ups. The level of protection that the carpet will receive depends on what type of floor mats you choose. An original Acura RDX or Integra mat can also give your vehicle a more finished appearance overall.
How weatherproof are the carpet floor mats?These types of mats from Acura have some weatherproof capabilities. Much of this is due to the flexible rubber backing and the heavy-duty fibers. Due to the fabric, the floor mats are not completely immune to soaking up water, dirt, and grime over time. Consider drying them out often to keep them lasting long.
How do you measure for floor mats?In some cases, floor mats can have a custom design meant only for an Acura RDX or Integra. Others do have universal fits, but you have to check with the specific mats. With measuring tape, check the distance between the door and center divider. In the front, that is usually the center console. In the backseat, it is the floor hump. Only check the floor space and not the door itself to ensure proper fits inside your Acura RDX.
How do you maintain these floor mats?These floor mats can be maintained with occasional washing and more frequent touch-ups in areas prone to harsh weather conditions. You will need to hand wash them and allow them to thoroughly dry before putting them back. Also, prior to washing, take them out of your Acura RDX or Integra to make touching them up easier. Vacuuming the mats beforehand to remove any debris will make cleaning easier too.
Here are a few steps you can follow to maintain the longevity of your floor mats:
- Baking Soda: The baking soda can remove stains and neutralize any odors. You can sprinkle it on dry and vacuum it off, or add moisture and use a scrub brush.
- Soap and Water: You can use detergent, regular soap, shampoo, or a mixture of them. Scrub with a small hand brush with stiff bristles.
- Upholstery Cleaner: There are special items that can be found in auto shops that can work well. You will typically have to spray and leave it for a few minutes for it to work.
Both of these floor mats fit well inside your Acura RDX or any other type of Acura you have. Rubber floor mats are harder and more and weather-resistant. Carpets are softer and more for aesthetics.
