Carpet vs. All-Weather Floor Mats

When you’re choosing a new or, new to you car, the flooring under your feet will need to be considered. Carpet can be a good choice if you don’t have to walk across gravel to get in your car, but if you need to walk through snow or over ice to get into your vehicle, an all-weather floor mat may be a better choice.

Consider a Replaceable MatFor those who live in snow country, a replaceable all-weather mat might be the best choice. Even if you don’t get all the snow off of your feet, it won’t soak into your carpet. If you go with an all-weather mat that you can shake out, drain, and ultimately replace, keep an eye on it.

Rubberized products can get brittle in the cold. If you also tend to track in gravel or sand, you can inadvertently wear a hole in your floor mat and turn it into a funnel. From that point, all the moisture from your shoes will soak into the carpet below and leave your car smelling like a dirty gym bag.
