1. spot treat with resolve (hasnt messed anything up for me)
2. take out rinse with water and use laundry detergent (i guess woolite would work)...and a brush, agitate lightly and most of the crap should be off.
3. rinse off with high pressure once again
4. use shop vac to get most of the water off
5. let it dry and put back in

that sounds like pretty simple, but would it mess up the floor mats when washing and how are you drying? hang dry or dryer? thanks

Very simple! Simple Green, then throw in the washer. Hang dry when done.
