SKperformance Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 The dealer is about 100 which i find very cheap for velour carpets especially. Second choice go to a coin laundry mat and find there big machine although many normal sized ones work fine. Don't forget your soap and fabric softener .They can take anything out real easy. Or use a local coin power washer after treating the stain overnight with shout and it should come right out.

That won't mess up the rubber will it? I may try it though...I have nothing to lose since I was probably gonna buy some new ones anyway. But its worth a try since its not really the stain but the smell.
SKperformance Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 It won't do a thing to the rubber at all. I do it once a year and it works way better than a power washer which always shreds the embroidery "Lexus"
Wicked_Lex Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I'd call some salvage yards or see if Ebay has anything.
cmg864 Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Check out YES Essentials mats -- not a "cheap" alternative, but a great way to avoid the fish grease problem. Luxury grade carpet, plus stain and odor proof. I have them in my 96 LX450. I think the website is www.yesessentials.com.
