They are 100% washable and easy to clean.
TPE Car Mats or Rubber Car Mats? Which one should we choose.
Rubber Car Mats are available in universal size whereas TPE Mats are custom made for each make and model, so TPE Mats would provide a better fit and finish. Rubber Mats are flat where TPE Mats have 3D Tray Structure to prevent spillage and protect your car floor. Rubber mats often produce a foul smell when exposed to heat.
Rubber mats are not recyclable thus not eco-friendly, on the other hand TPE Mats are 100% recyclable and doesn't produce and smell. Rubber Mats might develop external or internal cracks over time as the material loses oil.
Thus, TPE Mats being a little expensive compared to Rubber Mats are still a better option for your car Floor mats.
