DUBAI (Reuters) - Honeymooners and other tourists from the Gulf are heading to the throbbing heart of Dubai to beat the summer heat by cooling off at the first "ice lounge" in the Middle East.
The interior decor of Dubai's Chillout cafe is made entirely of carved ice, with frozen picture frames, ice curtains and frosty seats covered in fur.
The interior of the cafe, owned by UAE's Sharaf Group, is lit with multi-colored fluorescent lights.
"We got married in Riyadh four days ago and the first place on our to-do list was to visit Chillout cafe in Dubai," said 27-year-old Saudi travel agent Ahmed, holding the hand of his veiled bride Nouf.
"Can you imagine you're in a freezing café while it's 35 degrees (Celsius) outside?"
Visitors are kitted out with thermal jackets, boots and fur hats provided by the cafe in a striking similarity to the ice hotels which dot Scandinavia in winter.
Dubai - which is famous for its luxury shopping, beaches, indoor ski slope, the world's tallest tower and a man-made palm-shaped island - has become a top short-stay tourist destination in the Middle East alongside Cairo and Beirut.
Tourism is crucial to Dubai's economy, which had a gross domestic product of around $90 billion last year, supports the emirate's large retail industry and hospitality sectors.
Dubai aims to triple its annual income from tourism to 300 billion dirhams ($82 billion) by 2020, which would involve doubling the number of its hotel rooms, Helal Almarri, director-general of Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), told Reuters last week.
Visitors to Chillout, pay 60 dirhams for a 40-minute visit and are served one hot drink. The cafe can fit 40 people at a time and gets about 100 visitors a day.

Fluid balance is the concept of human homeostasis that the amount of fluid lost from the body is equal to the amount of fluid taken in. Euvolemia is the state of normal body fluid volume. Water is necessary for all life on Earth. Humans can survive for 4–6 weeks without food, but for only a few days without water.
The amount of water varies with the individual, as it depends on the condition of the subject, the amount of physical exercise, and on environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.[1] In the US, the reference daily intake (RDI) for water is 3.7 litres per day (l/day) for human males older than 18, and 2.7 l/day for human females older than 18[2] including water contained in food, beverages, and drinking water. The common misconception that everyone should drink two litres (68 ounces, or about eight 8-oz glasses) of water per day is not supported by scientific research. Various reviews of all the scientific literature on the topic performed in 2002 and 2008 could not find any solid scientific evidence that recommended drinking eight glasses of water per day.[3][4][5] For example, people in hotter climates will require greater water intake than those in cooler climates. An individual's thirst provides a better guide for how much water they require rather than a specific, fixed number. A more flexible guideline is that a normal person should urinate 4 times per day, and the urine should be a light yellow color.
A constant supply is needed to replenish the fluids lost through normal physiological activities, such as respiration, perspiration and urination. Food contributes 0.5 to 1 l/day, and the metabolism of protein, fat, and carbohydrates produces another 0.25 to 0.4 l/day,[6] which means that 2 to 3 l/day of water for men and 1 to 2 l/day of water for women should be taken in as fluid, i.e. drunk, in order to meet the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI). In terms of mineral nutrients intake, it is unclear what the drinking water contribution is. However, inorganic minerals generally enter surface water and ground water via storm water runoff or through the Earth's crust. Treatment processes also lead to the presence of some minerals. Examples include calcium, zinc, manganese, phosphate, fluoride and sodium compounds.[7] Water generated from the biochemical metabolism of nutrients provides a significant proportion of the daily water requirements for some arthropods and desert animals, but provides only a small fraction of a human's necessary intake. There are a variety of trace elements present in virtually all potable water, some of which play a role in metabolism. For example sodium, potassium and chloride are common chemicals found in small quantities in most waters, and these elements play a role (not necessarily major) in body metabolism. Other elements such as fluoride, while beneficial in low concentrations, can cause dental problems and other issues when present at high levels. Water is essential for the growth and maintenance of our bodies, as it is involved in a number of biological processes.
Profuse sweating can increase the need for electrolyte (salt) replacement. Water intoxication (which results in hyponatremia), the process of consuming too much water too quickly, can be fatal.
The human kidneys will normally adjust to varying levels of water intake. The kidneys will require time to adjust to the new water intake level. This can cause someone who drinks a lot of water to become dehydrated more easily than someone who routinely drinks less.
Routes of fluid loss and gainEdit
Fluid can leave the body in many ways. Fluid can enter the body as preformed water, ingested food and drink and to a lesser extent as metabolic water which is produced as a by-product of aerobic respiration (cellular respiration) and dehydration synthesis.[8]
A constant supply is needed to replenish the fluids lost through normal physiological activities, such as respiration, sweating and urination. Water generated from the biochemical metabolism of nutrients provides a significant proportion of the daily water requirements for some arthropods and desert animals, but provides only a small fraction of a human's necessary intake.
In the normal resting state, input of water through ingested fluids is approximately 1200 ml/day, from ingested foods 1000 ml/day and from aerobic respiration 300 ml/day, totaling 2500 ml/day.[9]
Regulation of inputEdit
- Main article: Thirst
Input of water is regulated mainly through ingested fluids, which, in turn, depends on thirst. An insufficiency of water results in an increased osmolarity in the extracellular fluid. This is sensed by osmoreceptors in the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis, which trigger thirst. Thirst can to some degree be voluntarily resisted, as during fluid restriction.
- The majority of fluid output occurs via the urine, approximately 1500 ml/day (approx 1.59 qt/day) in the normal adult resting state.[9][10]
- Some fluid is lost through perspiration (part of the body's temperature control mechanism) and as water vapor in expired air. These are termed "insensible fluid losses" as they cannot be easily measured. Some sources say insensible losses account for 500 to 650 ml/day (0.5 to 0.6 qt.) of water in adults,[9][11] while other sources put the minimum value at 800 ml (0.8 qt.).[12] In children, one calculation used for insensible fluid loss is 400ml/m2 body surface area.
- In addition, an adult loses approximately 100ml/day of fluid through feces.[9][13]
- For females, an additional 50 ml/day is lost through vaginal secretions.
These outputs are in balance with the input of ~2500 ml/day.[9]
Regulation of outputEdit
The body's homeostatic control mechanisms, which maintain a constant internal environment, ensure that a balance between fluid gain and fluid loss is maintained. The hormones ADH (Anti-diuretic Hormone, also known as vasopressin) and Aldosterone play a major role in this.
- If the body is becoming fluid-deficient, there will be an increase in the secretion of these hormones, causing fluid to be retained by the kidneys and urine output to be reduced.
- Conversely, if fluid levels are excessive, secretion of these hormones is suppressed, resulting in less retention of fluid by the kidneys and a subsequent increase in the volume of urine produced.
Antidiuretic hormoneEdit
- Main article: Antidiuretic hormone
- If the body is becoming fluid-deficient, this will be sensed by osmoreceptors in the organum vasculosum of lamina terminalis and subfornical organ.[14] These areas project to the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus, which contain neurons that secrete the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin, from their nerve endings in the posterior pituitary. Thus, there will be an increase in the secretion of antidiuretic hormone, causing fluid to be retained by the kidneys and urine output to be reduced.
- Main article: Renin-angiotensin system
A fluid-insufficiency causes a decreased perfusion of the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidneys. This activates the renin-angiotensin system. Among other actions, it causes renal tubules (i.e. the distal convoluted tubules and the cortical collecting ducts) to reabsorb more sodium and water from the urine. Potassium is secreted into the tubule in exchange for the sodium, which is reabsorbed. The activated renin-angiotensin system stimulates zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex which in turn secretes hormone aldosterone. This hormone stimulates the reabsorption of sodium ions from distal tubules and collecting ducts. Water in the tubular lumen follows the sodium reabsorption osmotically.
Effects of illnessEdit
When a person is ill, fluid may also be lost through vomiting, diarrhea, and hemorrhage. An individual is at an increased risk of dehydration in these instances, as the kidneys will find it more difficult to match fluid loss by reducing urine output (the kidneys must produce at least some urine in order to excrete metabolic waste.)
Fluid balance in an acute hospital settingEdit
In an acute hospital setting, fluid balance is monitored carefully. This provides information on the patient's state of hydration, renal function and cardiovascular function.
- If fluid loss is greater than fluid gain (for example if the patient vomits and has diarrhoea), the patient is said to be in negative fluid balance. In this case, fluid is often given intravenously to compensate for the loss.
- On the other hand, a positive fluid balance (where fluid gain is greater than fluid loss) might suggest a problem with either the renal or cardiovascular system.
If blood pressure is low (hypotension), the filtration rate in the kidneys will lessen, causing less fluid reabsorption and thus less urine output.
An accurate measure of fluid balance is therefore an important diagnostic tool, and allows for prompt intervention to correct the imbalance.
Trace elementsEdit
There are a variety of trace elements present in virtually all potable water, some of which play a role in metabolism; for example sodium, potassium and chloride are common chemicals found in very small amounts in most waters, and these elements play a major role in body metabolism. Water is essential for the growth and maintenance of our bodies, as it is involved in a number of biological processes.

English 101 Section B20. Writing about My Generation
In this course, students will explore the concept of the generational divide in order to come to terms with their generation's position in time. By reading, discussing, and writing about things like Hipster culture and other counter-cultural movements, the effects of Twitter and social media on our cognitive and social development, and the role that hybrid language forms—like slang or dialectal speech—play in identity formation and representation, we will question the concept of generational identities and attempt to understand their relevance to our conversations about contemporary American life. In addition to exploring generational divides, this course will also provide an overview of foundational concepts in writing. Students should expect to participate in everything from informal discussions about the corporatization of punk rock and hip-hop, to metacognitive projects that require intense analysis of their own thought and writing processes. Through an exploration of different approaches to writing and thinking about writing, students will learn how to use genre as a situational tool for communicating effectively with diverse audiences.

To answer the question that I know you are thinking, yes these are really my car mats.
You may think I am disgusting after seeing the floor mats from my mini-van. It's true, I have four kids that LOVE to spill, spit, and on occasion barf in the car. It's gross, I agree, but, here is a look into my life on a daily basis. We basically live in the car on some days of the week. Thursdays are especially crazy for us. We simultaneously have dance and cub scouts at the exact same time every Thursday AND, in order to get to dance on time we have to pick up our kids from school in order to make it. If you have kids, I'm sure you can relate.
Here you go here's the disgusting floor mats from my car: But don't worry, I have a solution. My friend Liz has a mini-van too {a Honda Odyssey like mine}, and she gave me the advice to just throw the removable floor mats in the washing machine! WHAT?!? It couldn't be that easy, right?!?
I figured I had nothing to lose because I had tried to clean them before by just spraying them off with a power washer with a little laundry soap, but it didn't work very well. So, I tried it. But, before I put them in the washer, I sprayed them down with the miracle stain remover that I've blogged about before.
And voila, look what happened…
The floor mats were a little bleached out when they came out of the washer, but I could care less.
I still can't believe I let the mats get this dirty before I took the bull by the horns.
Some of the mats came a little cleaner than others, but believe me I was happy to get them looking this good.
So, to break it down in two easy steps in case you missed it:
Step 1: Spray your mats with the best homemade stain remover ever.
Step 2: Throw the mats into the washer (with detergent like you usually do).
Step 3: Lay them out to dry.
The end.
Wow, what a difference. I'd love to try this but I am a little worried about ruining the washing machine.
How would it ruin the washing machine? Thing is made out of steel, dunno how some rubber mats would mess it up.
I just through all of my floor mats from my van in my washer… saying a small prayer that I don't ruin the washer. LOL. Um, did you do a regular cycle or a gentle… and what happened during the Spin/draining time. Did your washer get off balance with such a heavy load… Really hoping mine works out well and that i will have super clean mats in a little while. 🙂
when you mix up the detergent with the peroxide, do you just mix what you need or can it be stored?
FYI: I only washed a few at a time, and the machine was totally fine.
I just asked my hubby about this and he said to mention that we do have high capacity front loaders. I hope that helps. 🙂
I am going out to my Honda Odyssey @ 10.07 pm to try this. Mine were so nasty I slung them in the back 2 days ago. THANKS A MILLION!
Ok, I seriously need to do this! My floor mats look TERRIBLE! My husband laughs at me because I am so particular about our house being clean…but get in my car…and it's DISGUSTING! He says I live two separate lives. 🙂 OOPS! Thanks for the tips!
I washed the mats in a few separate loads so the washer wasn't full to the max. And I have a front loader so it doesn't have the balancing issue. I also forgot to mention that I add laundry detergent to the washer also. Good Luck!!
I just mix up a spray bottle and store it. I use it a lot with my regular laundry so I go through it pretty quick. But as far as I can tell it works great for a few weeks.
Is regular setting o.k. or did you put it on gentle? Also, what temperature was the water? Thanks, would love to try this!
I think I just left my settings as normal. So, I think it was on warm/cold. 🙂 And no it was not on gentle. Gentle would probably have not done the trick. As you can see they were GROSS!!!
Patrina! Good luck! I hope you didn't freeze going out that late to get your mats! Mine looked so bad {as you can tell by the pictures} that I was desperate. So, for me it was totally worth trying because I couldn't take it any longer!!
Mandy! Ha! I swear with kids it's impossible to keep anything clean all the time. My husband is also obsessed with having a clean car. Tell Jeff to relax. 🙂
We have a Honda Odyssey too (love it!) and we bought the all-season rubber mats. They are awesome but it didn't include one for the back row so I will definitely have to try this on that one! Thanks so much for sharing…I had no idea you could do this!
Thanks for sharing!!! Just did this on my '06 Honda Civic mats (only washed once, like 4 yrs ago, and they didn't get very clean) ….I sprayed them all, and to experiment I only scrubbed one (just lightly to get it sudsy and more into the fabric.)I washed all them together and I did gentle cycle, water temp. HOT, and added detergent–only the one I scrubbed came clean, but it was SPOTLESS, looks brand new.(I took pics, so I could compare, and WOW!) So I took the 2 other mats and did the same thing as the other but did REGULAR cycle, instead of gentle, and they came out SPOTLESS also!!
Thanks so much!!!!!!! (Now to try this solution on the actual car seat)
We don't have Dawn here in the UK so does anyone have any idea which of the Fairy Liquid colours would work? Thank!
I did this tonight and it was a huge pinterest fail for me. I have a front loader HE washer (5 mo. old) and there were suds everywhere (luckily they stayed in the machine). I couldn't even see in the washing machine there were so many suds. I washed just two small mats so I didn't overcrowd the washing machine. My machine tried for 2 hours to get the suds out during the spin cycle (it kept saying it had 8 min. left, but b/c it's a newer load sensing machine it just kept working hard to get all those suds out). FINALLY an uneven symbol came on and unlocked the machine so I could get the mats out and hand wash them.
I re-read your instructions and did exactly what you did and actually used the solution minimally. I re-read my washing machine manual and it says to only use HE detergent which is what I use, but I think the dawn is what caused the problem. My manual says that if you add non-HE detergent it will cause too many suds. I'm sure that was the problem.
I am not blaming you, Brooke, as you've given me lots of great advice, but I just wanted to come back with my feedback in case anyone else has a newer LG HE front loader….beware!
Same thing is happening to me right now! I have a huge Samsung HE front loader and it's dying! It looks like a Brady episode inside the drum. I even showed my kids and they were impressed. My computer says that it keeps trying to get rid of suds. Probably was that I had a lot of stains on my carpets and used two full bottles of cleaner. DUH! I should have sprayed them with the hose before putting them in the washer. I can only hope it doesn't hurt my washer.
You really have to watch out when putting anything DAWN-based in any washing device. Just like a dish washer, you can't put Dawn dish soap in or it will overflow with suds everywhere. It's such a shame you and others did with your washing machine because that was probably a lot of wasted water when an agitated-washing machine froths up the liquid dish soap base as intended in a liquid dish soap. Dish-soaps ingredients in all purpose cleaners should always be EXTREMELY diluted. I've only used recipes for AP cleaners that only require one teaspoon of dish soap to one average sized cleaning bottle and 2 drops of wonderful essential oils for scent.
Wow Kimberly, I'm speechless. I guess the type of machine you use makes a big difference. I am glad you came back to leave your experience. Maybe it will help someone else who has your type of machine.
I have front loader HE Kenmore machines and they work like a charm every time. BUT, I don't spray a ton of the solution on the mats, I just spray the stains. So, maybe the amount of dawn solution also impacts the result.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Just cleaned my mats. Maytag front loader
suds. I knew that adding the dawn was going to get suds everywhere so I put a couple of towels in front of the machine. It did have trouble with the suds, but let it run overnight.
In the morning I noticed that there was still dirty, extremely dirty water in the bottom of the washer. I did a quick search and found that the pump filter was clogged. I didn't even know washers had filters. Unscrewed some screws under the front of the machine to get access. When I pulled the filter out all of the water came out with it.
After using the wet vac to clean up the water I took the mats out back and sprayed them with water to make sure all the suds and dirty water were off and now they are drying. They are tan so I didn't expect them to look new with all the dark stains, but they look much, much better and I cleaned the washer filter in the process
Just want to comment about cleaning the filter on a front loading washing machine. I had to replace the drum on my machine, which involved removing the filter and plumbing. Unfortunately my setup is stacked, in my kitchen, on hardwood floors. Not good for one gallon of water spilling out. So I took a wet/dry shop vac and place the nozzle at the bottom of the filter. Then I slightly cracked open the filter with the vac on. This will suck all the water into the vac before hitting the floor. It takes a long time, but it's worth it.
Thanks for your advice. I washed my 2004 Honda Pilot mats and they turned out great.
I have a front loader but did not put the DAWN in it. As for the sudsy outcome others posted, it might make a difference as to whether they were washing with hard or soft water. That makes a huge difference in the amount of suds one gets from a dish detergent.
Thanks again.
How do I keep my mats from curling up after I get done cleaning them. I don't know if it's good for them, but I used them in a parts washer we have here at work. Please help. Thanks.
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! Your mats are the exact same as mine…except now you have clean ones. Now i know how to clean mine! Thank you1!!
A big thank you for posting this tip on the internet. My daughter and I were just about to get out the carpet cleaner and start the 2 hour task of cleaning our floor mats for our Honda Odyssey. Since I dread this task so much, it doesn't get done too often and the floor mats were disgusting! I decided to do a quick search on the internet and your post was the first thing that popped up. We pre-treated the mats with Shout, used a scrub brush to loosen up some of the dirt and put the mats in our top loading whirlpool (with agitator) machine. We split the mats into 2 even loads and used laundry detergent. I washed in warm on the normal cycle. I am so excited, they came out looking brand new. I can't tell you how happy I am. This saved me several hours (I was able to get some other cleaning done while the mats were in the washing machine). Thank you so much!!!!
Brooke – I can't tell from your car mat photos but are these the mats with hard rubber nodules on the back (the nodules help the mat not slip on the car carpet)?
Planning to try this with my 2004 Toyota Sienna mini-van mats for the first time (after 3 kids and 9 years!) but wanted to be sure the mats you washed did have the rubber backing.
I just pulled mine out of the washer and they were ripped to shreds. Most of the back came off. Original mats from my 2010 Toyota Corolla. This was the second time, in 2 years, that I have washed them in the washer. Sorry. Wow, and the washer is full of small pieces of black rubber/plastic whatever that is.
I put my Lexus ES350 trunk mat into the washing machine because some milk leaked on it. The mat"s back was stiff from the rubber beforehand, but when I pulled it out, the mat was completely pliable. In other words, the stiffness is gone. I suspect the sizing must have washed away. At any rate the mat is nice and clean, but I don't know if I have destroyed it in the process. Anybody have any ideas what happened? Thanks.
Did this today with very soiled mats. The whole group of a 2006 Toyota Sienna in one wash. Sprayed a total of 2 1/2 cups of peroxide and 1 1/4 cup of dawn on the stained areas. I then let it sit for a while and threw it in the wash on the heavy cycle. All was well until the foam started coming out the front of the washer Mr. Mom style. After emptying about 10 medium plastic bins worth I decided it was never going to end so I pulled them all out and sprayed them off extensively with a hose and scrubbed the extra soiled parts with a brush. Then I threw them back in for another cycle. They came out pretty amazingly clean given where they started. The whole ordeal was time consuming however :). All in all I'd recommend but apparently over a cup of dawn in the washer plus a full tray of normal detergent is a bit much.
I tried this and it was a huge fail. My washer is not a front loader. When I took the mat out it was still gross and my wash machine was just nasty! So, I tried it again, with no better luck. I drive a yukon so the mat is large, wondering if i should put a large towel in to add agitation and balance. I was so disappointed! 🙁
I washed mine (2009 Honda Odyssey) today in my Whirlpool Duet front loader. I sprayed VERY sparingly and washed on cold, low spin cycle. I also put some HE detergent into the dispenser. Mine came out SPOTLESS. After five years of abuse from two kids. Thank you!
I am going to try this, but I have a top loader (no agitator) Cabrio and I love my machine.
I'm going to haul them down to the laundry mat and use theirs. 😀
I put mine two at a time in my top loading HE washer, used a tiny bit of Tide, and just regular Walmart brand spray n wash. I did notice a difference on the ones I scrubbed the spray n wash in with toothbrush vs the one I just sprayed. I also vacuumed and beat out the dust on my fence before putting all that junk in my machine. I have 4 kids under 8, and had only ever vacuumed those bad boys in the two years that we've had this vehicle.
Laquer Thinner is the greatest thing you can buy for cleaning your car. ANY part of your car. My fella has a car detailing business, and every time we're at Walmart he buys another can. Trust me, it works wonders. Even on leather seats.
Trying this now on my 2013 Optima mats and praying it works. I took my car to get detailed they supposedly cleaned the mats but they are were just soaked! So I took them put and they have been sitting in the driveway for 3-4 weeks and am taking the car to get cleaned again and would really like to get my mats put back in….this time clean and DRY!!!
OMG! FINALLY! This totally works! I even spilled a bottle of hair color on my passenger carpet about 6 months ago while toting supplies to my salon and it came right out! I used the Great Value version of the blue dawn soap and just did enough to spray the carpets heavily and washed them in 2 loads. Thats all it took. They look awesome and my washer isnt dirty either. I did mine on Heavy, Super Hot, and extra rinse. Getting ready to sell my car and this was my biggest concern. Thank you!
I don't have a washer and I can't bring them to the laundromat, so what could I do instead???
What about the carpets that are under the car mats?? Mine are so dirty and my interior is beige. Any tips??
I just cleaned mine a few days ago with a household carpet cleaner that steams. Worked great!!
I used a Norwex microfiber cleaning rag to scrub a spill spot off the carpet in my van. I imagine any high quality damp microfiber cloth would do.
It worked beautifully, in my top loader….just as you instructed.
I only did the front mats; both in at the same time.
Thanks much, now my "new" used car looks even better!
Interesting thought….. I have seen many of us comment that we are "going out to our Honda Odyssey"… That's what I have too, and my mats are HORRIBLE!!! Coincidence?
I don't think mats are supposed to go in the washer because they ruin they mat not the washer. Also, if they are this bad, how about investing in a new set.
Ah, this shredded the back of my mats, the washing machine is fine and the fabric is fine but the rubber on the mats…well it could be worse. they look really clean though! I can repair the shredding rubber well enough, just be warned if you have thin or cheap *cough me* mats they could shred. I knew the risk, but I'm glad I tried becaause they really do look new if you don't look at the back!
Has anyone tried these on mats that have a felt like back. Our Honda mini-van mats have a felt like back, not a rubber one. They are original to the car.
My original Sienna mats have a cloth back, I don't know that I would call it felt, but it is definitely fabric of some kind. I did them two at a time on cold, either bulky or delicate cycle in my top loading HE (no agitator ) machine. None of the 5 show any damage.
I don't put them in the washer because no matter how many times I rinse them off with a garen hose there is so much grit and dirt(dirt drive way) that I don't want to ruin my machine.
How long did your four children need to do that to your floormats? I allowed my ex to drive one of my cars for some months and they looked at least as bad. I had tried different things with a round brush bolted to my cordless screwdriver (power brush!) and everything seemed to work, but you could only tell because the water turned brown! I did not notice the mats getting much better! I tried this, put most of a quart on the mats, scrubbed, allowed to sit, ran through my old top-loading washer with detergent, hosed them off because they felt slimy, and then applied the rest, scrubbed, allowed to sit, and washed without detergent. The bizarre thing was that both time they came out with brown streaks, which seemed to match where I poured on the cleaner, when I wanted more than just a spray. I hosed it off for a while, had it dry, and they look amazing! I put a towel on top of them because I am afraid of getting them dirty!
Wow !! After making 3 pages of notes on options for cleaning carpet I am going to do this. I am only dealing with mud. I don't have the issues with coffee, pet stains, etc. So, why not do this FIRST. THANK YOU!
Prior to seeing this I put mine in the washing machine. I have high-capacity frontload machines. I used very little Tide and Oxy clean. They came out practically new and smell amazing! I just lay them out on the deck to dry.
I washed mine in the machine prior to seeing this post. I have frontload machine, used very little detergent and Oxy clean. My floor mats came out extremely clean and smelling great with no damage to machine. I put out on the deck to dry.
Trying this now on my Hyundai Elantra *fingers-crossed*
I should have went with my first instinct. Front floor mats came out semi-clean. One torn with a hole in it now. My Dad just bought my family this Dodge Caravan yesterday and I wanted to clean the mats. I was going to go to the car wash, pin them up on the clips, spray them with LA Awesome and then hose them down with the wand and lay out in the sun to dry. Instead, I did this tutorial and put them in our Whirpool top load washer, my Mom gave me; which is now really dirty. So after taking them out I am now cleaning out my washing machine and will have to explain in the morning to my husband I need new mats for our van. Glad it worked for others. Unfortunately, it is a fail with extra work for me.
Hi Brooke, I'd like to say thank you, thank you, thank you so much for sharing your special homemade stain remover.
I mixed it like you suggested and it did wonders!!
It's the best of all cleaning agents I've ever tried!
I used it on my car mats and the seats which were awfully dirty now they look new. You are GOD sent!! You saved me from spending/ wasting money on a professional.
Thank you sooo much????

While experts agree that the level of falsification in Moscow elections on Sunday was historically low, the narrow margin by which Sergei Sobyanin was elected the mayor of Moscow has given credibility to opposition claims that what fraud there was could have been decisive in the contest.
Mr Sobyanin, the incumbent, won 51.3 per cent of the vote, which put him within a whisker of the 50 per cent total that would have prompted a second-round runoff against Alexei Navalny.
While Mr Navalny got 27 per cent of the vote, analysts say that in a second-round contest between him and Mr Sobyanin some of the protest vote would have gone to Mr Navalny, even though it was unlikely to have been enough to beat the incumbent mayor. Read more

Sundance 2014: The winter's tale
Sundance's John Cooper and Trevor Groth celebrate the US and international independent scene ahead of the festival's 30th anniversary. Jeremy Kay reports.
John Cooper and Trevor Groth have about as much use for platitudes and soundbites as the Sundance Film Festival has for a studio tentpole in its 120-strong selection.
Over the course of a 30-minute interview, the festival director and his head of programming – as knowledgeable and self-deprecating a pair as you will meet in the senior festival ranks – prefer to explore ideas and passions rather than recite tedious corporate lines that stay on message.
What becomes clear, if it were not already evident from watching the festival's progression in recent years, is that on the eve of its 30th anniversary edition Sundance remains as committed as ever to fostering global independent voices.
"In the festival's 30 years independent film has become such a part of the cultural landscape," says Cooper, who has been at Sundance for 25 years (Groth has been in situ for 20).
"It's an art form almost unto itself outside of Hollywood and young people now know what independent film is. Also you cannot ignore technology and its influence on the films. Film-makers have a lot more freedom.
"A lot of the film-makers are influenced by the near past. That bar gets set every year at Sundance if you look at Fruitvale [Station] and Beasts Of The Southern Wild and Precious before that.
"They feel that. They know it. They are influenced by other American film-makers that came before them. Even 10 years ago it was looking more to the Europeans and older films for inspiration and now they're being inspired by each other.
"One thing that we see in this year's group of films versus historically from when we began is the completeness of visions," adds Groth. "The aesthetic excellence across the board of these films is as high as it's ever been."
Alongside those aesthetics, acquisitions executives will be looking for the hottest titles to acquire. These could include Damien Chazelle's Whiplash and Jim Mickle's Cold In July in US Dramatic Competition and Stuart Murdoch's UK musical God Help The Girl in World Cinema Dramatic Competition.
Programme evolutions
Sundance is attacking on all fronts. Groth notes that the expanded Next section will now encompass 11 films and expresses satisfaction over the evolution of the World Cinema Dramatic programme.
"Lately it's been taking shape the way we always hoped it would. It's starting to mirror what we've tried to do in our US competitions and discover independent voices wherever they may be.
"This year we've discovered some in really interesting places where we don't normally get films from like Ethiopia, Tanzania, Bulgaria and Serbia."
Technological advances mean Cooper, Groth and their programming team must now sift through more submissions than ever – overall there were 12,218 for this year's festival – and watch more rough cuts.
The number of awards season wins and nominations for the likes of Fruitvale Station, Blackfish and The Crash Reel serves as reminder that Sundance is the pre-eminent North American agenda-setter for the independent year ahead.
Yet the organisers love their audiences and film-makers and have no plans to expand the line-up. "It starts to lessen the impact of the films you're showing," says Groth. "How many films are people going to see in 10 days? Forty, tops? So to add to that doesn't make sense. And it keeps up sharp."
"With documentaries in particular we're seeing a new type of film that's very topical now because there's such a short window between something happening and making it on to the screen," says Cooper. "Much more so than 10 years ago."
"The docs are changing policy, like Blackfish – cracking issues open. Docs can go deeper and expose things for what they are sometimes, which makes people take notice." This year's selection, Cooper stresses, is a corker.
Potential highlights include Katy Chevigny and Ross Kauffman's Human Rights Watch story E-Team, Syria-set Return To Homs by Talal Derki and Nadav Schirman's The Green Prince about Hamas and Shin Bet.
New Frontier is returning to its Main Street roots and features work by renowned multimedia artist Doug Aitken and the projection-mapping troupe Klip Collective's eye-catching homage to Sundance hits on the façade of The Egyptian Theatre.
"People will fall into New Frontier just by being out and about at night," says Cooper, adding that the installations will allow the festival to reclaim the main drag. "It won't seem like someone else's street.
While it is a favourite parlour game of commentators to retro-fit themes into the overall selection, Cooper notes an interesting development in the way film-makers are telling stories.
"A bit of a trend is the use of genre. It's always been big in [Park City At] Midnight, but now a lot of film-makers use genre to get you into a story. So there's the horror genre in Life After Beth, which is a love story with a dead girl, and Jamie Marks Is Dead, has a big ghost story in it."
Heavy hitters this year include Michael Winterbottom with A Trip To Italy reuniting Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, Anton Corbijn's first Sundance entry with A Most Wanted Man and Gareth Evans' anticipated The Raid 2.
Returning to the broader perspective, Sundance London enters its third year and Cooper and Groth are gratified by its reception. Long-term plans are afoot to export the festival to another part of the world.
"[Sundance London] gives a lot of value and strength to the festival," says Groth, "because we see the films can work there and there are audiences for them."

Did you know?
The Anglo-Boer War or South African War drew in all sectors of South African society, with thousands of black and coloured people serving with the British army, and thousands assisting the Boers.
The N12 Battlefields Route in the Northern Cape speaks of a history-changing war in South Africa.
Both the British and the Boers claimed the right to rule the Transvaal (also known as the South African Republic or the Transvaal Republic then), after gold was found in 1886.
Thus began the bitter South African War, also known as the Anglo-Boer War, which was fought from 1899-1902. It saw Canada, Australia and New Zealand supporting the British, while volunteers from Ireland, France, Russia, America, Italy and Scandinavia supported the Boers.
Kimberley was a British stronghold when war broke out on 11 October 1899, and was an obvious target for the Boers, who besieged it for four months.
You can start the Anglo-Boer War Route in Kimberley at the McGregor Museum, the former residence of Cecil John Rhodes, mining magnate and leading political figure on the British side during the siege. The museum houses a 'siege display' where the story of the siege and eventual relief of Kimberley is told.
From here you drive the N12 between Kimberley and Hopetown, on which several battlefield sites are well signposted. These include the battles of Belmont, Graspan, Modder River and Magersfontein – the most famous of the battle sites, approximately 40km from Kimberley.
On 11 December 1899 in the dim pre-dawn, the Boers opened fire on the Highland Brigade from their concealed trench at the base of Magersfontein Hill. It was a legendary Boer victory, but the memorials and graves at the site speak of casualties on both sides.
A must-see is the Magersfontein Museum and lookout point on the hill. The museum has an audio-visual presentation that offers visitors a 'first-hand' experience of battle from a darkened Boer trench.
Kimberley was finally relieved in February 1900.
The British ultimately won the war, their 'scorched earth' policy proving influential. This policy included destroying Boer farms, thereby cutting off their access to food and supplies, and incarcerating Boer women, children and supporters in concentration camps.
This tactic helped to force the Boers to start peace negotiations.

An FT reader ignited a Big Bang on our letters page a couple of Saturdays ago, raising some intriguing questions about space-time – and sparking other readers to offer their thoughts on bosons and super-symmetry as well as chickens and eggs.
Kenyon Bradt from Muncie, Indiana lit the blue touch paper by asking about the "primordial locus" of the Big Bang:
Would it have had any spatial extension or temporal duration before the outburst? … Is it possible for there to be an existence that is non-spatial and non-temporal?
These are excellent questions for my favourite fictional theoretical physicist, Dr Sheldon Cooper. With two doctorates, a master's degree and an IQ of 187, Sheldon is the ultimate uber-geek. If anyone can help Mr Bradt probe the nature of space and time it is Caltech's dazzling prodigy, the frighteningly obsessive Nobel-prize-winner-in-waiting from "The Big Bang Theory".
It's just a shame that Dr Cooper always plays Klingon Boggle at this precise time of day, which means we must turn, for the time being, to real-life "quantum gravity" physicist Carlo Rovelli of Marseille. I'm sure you won't be disappointed, though. Professor Rovelli's ideas are quite startling enough.
Prof Rovelli says that time may not exist at all – at least at the quantum level. In an article by Tim Folger in Discover Magazine , he says: "It may be that the best way to think about quantum reality is to give up the notion of time – that the fundamental description of the universe must be timeless."
Time, he says, could be an "emergent property" that comes into being only when you look at the bigger picture. (A good analogy is temperature, which doesn't exist for an individual molecule but emerges as a collective property when lots of molecules bump around together.)
I can feel my inner Sheldon stirring, but Prof Rovelli hasn't finished yet. In the article, he also does away with space:
If time and space are one day shown to consist of quanta, the quanta could all exist piled together in a single dimensionless point. "Space and time in some sense melt in this picture," says Rovelli. "There is no space any more."
So much for the final frontier, I hear Sheldon say - and just when I was putting the final touches to a grand unified theory of everything.
Prof Rovelli's theorising is only one way of interpreting quantum reality and, at first blush, killing off time and space may seem somewhat extreme. But it's hardly unprecedented: you only have to look at the history of western philosophy. In several centuries of metaphysical thinking there's a lot less to space and time than meets the eye. As often as not, both are explained – or explained away – in terms of our mentality.
Neither time nor space is substantial for Gottfried Leibniz. Rather similar to Prof Rovelli's "single dimensionless point" is the "monad" – the non-extended, immaterial, indivisible entity that Leibniz believed to be the ultimate building block of the world; a mental atom.
For Immanuel Kant, space, time and causality are projections of our cognitive apparatus and have no reality independent of human experience. They are not part of the underlying nature of "things in themselves", the noumenon, to which we can have no access.
Yet, according to Arthur Schopenhauer, who held similar views to Kant on space and time, there is a way to explore "things in themselves" – and that is to look inside one's own self. He did – and claimed to glimpse ultimate reality in a unifying, homogeneous, ghastly impulse, which he called the "will".
I suspect Sheldon would be kicking up a fuss at this point: "Oh dear Lord! Philosophical argument is no match for 'Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock'. Just think what these great men could have achieved if they'd spent less time navel-gazing and more time concentrating on comic books."
(Dr Cooper is slowly unravelling the mystery of humour and sarcasm, which for him is much more difficult than string theory.)
There is a serious point here though … about whether in the 21st century we want to be materialists, idealists or dualists; and the relative importance we give to mentality.
Consciousness is a conundrum – both for quantum physicists (cf the much misunderstood Schrodinger's cat) and for neuroscientists. Some of the latter are happy to equate consciousness with neuronal activity, but no one can yet explain why the physical firing of neurones should be accompanied by the subjective experience of awareness. "Why aren't we zombies?" in the words of philosopher David Chalmers.
And consider this circularity. On the one hand we are told that our thinking arises in some unexplained manner from the activity of electrons in the brain synapses. On the other, electrons themselves are probability waves that exist as localised particles only when they are measured or observed – and what is observation but an act of consciousness?
So the nature of consciousness is wide open. Is it primitive? Or derivative? Or in some ways, both? (There may be different kinds, after all.) To my mind, mathematical thinking seems unchangeable, universal, elemental, fundamental, timeless; while our sensory notions of time and space could be "emergent" – but who knows from what?
What we think about consciousness will affect how we think about space and time. Kant talks of his own philosophy as a sort of Copernican revolution in reverse – putting human cognition at the centre of things. Both he and Schopenhauer agree that, without an observer, the universe is devoid of space and time.
But perhaps our misapprehension of existence goes even deeper.
In his ontological philosophy, Martin Heidegger says we have forgotten what it is to exist – what "being" is. Primarily, we are not subjects trapped inside ourselves looking out at a world of external objects. Rather, we are beings existing in a world of being. Most of the time we are too busy getting on with our activities to pay much attention to things like tables, chairs and door knobs. We pay them full attention only when things go wrong or we feel in contemplative mood. The rest of the time such objects have a sort of transparency for us.
Now that I've had my mind expanded by Leibniz, Kant, Schopenhauer and Heidegger, not to mention Sheldon, the Big Bang seems rather beside the (single, dimensionless) point unless hooked up to our present perception and thought. If our universe existed on its own for several billion years before conscious life, it lacked the reference points that human minds bring to it: there was no sense of relative scale; or of time passing. Time might as well run through such a place all at once – on extreme fast-forward.
Did the Big Bang make a noise? This is a cosmological variant of that ancient puzzle, "When a tree falls over in the woods and nobody's there, does it make a sound?"
The answer to the Big Bang version of this question is "Yes" … but only because we are still "hearing" the noise today in the form of background microwave radiation. I've always been convinced that the answer with respect to trees is "No", provided no one left a recording device in the woods.
So back to Mr Bradt's primordial questioning. Is it possible for there to be an existence that is non-spatial and non-temporal? I'd say that, even though we sometimes think spatially, any idea "inside" our minds – such as "justice", "pi" or "Sheldon's mother" – is not actually extended in Euclidean space or in non-Euclidean space-time. Yet our non-extended minds somehow endow the universe with extension, duration and scale as well as separateness or objectivity. The world "out there" is neither big nor small, old nor young, except for our perception. Take our emergent sense of appearances out of the equation and space-time loses its scaffolding, like closing a children's pop-up book.
I hope you had a happy "Star Wars Day" yesterday, Mr Bradt. May the 4th be with you!

Lesbian and gay couples have been creating families for some time now.
Lesbian couples will use known or anonymous sperm donors and gay couples will go through surrogacy arrangements.
As part of the wider movement towards eliminating discrimination towards same sex individuals / couples, the law is playing catch up. We have seen success recently with the first reading of the Equal / Same sex marriage Bill at the House of Commons and now judgements are being delivered to acknowledge and protect parents and children in alternative family structures.
Until then, I continue to advise lesbian and gay couples to seek legal advice before they start the process of creating a family. The legal relationships that you intend on creating are not always possible unless you do things in a certain way compliant with existing albeit outdated, law.
It is devastating to discover that you are not the legal parent once the child is born. For the sperm donor, finding yourself as a legal father when the opposite was intended, leads to obligations both financial and parental.
Get legal advice before you start the process. The last thing you want to do when the child is born is start litigation.
Best regards

Jenson Button's bid to conform to Formula One's new controversial weight limit has been hampered by an infection to his knee.
After twiddling his thumbs on the opening day of pre-season testing on Tuesday due to technical issues with the new McLaren, the 34-year-old was top of the timesheet on day two.
The times, however, are largely irrelevant at present given the steep curve the teams are on when it comes to learning about the new cars in light of a raft of regulation revisions.
One of those has seen the weight limit of car and driver combined rise from 642kg last year to 692kg this season.
But that is arguably not enough for the taller drivers such as Button given the arrival of the new powertrains, in conjunction with the new energy recovery system that have made the cars significantly heavier.
Previously on the limit anyway, Button has been forced to diet further, but has revealed he needs to lose more weight ahead of the season-opening race in Australia in mid-March due to a knee problem.
"I did a hell of a lot of training over the winter in terms of diet, really limiting my intake, but in a safe way," said Button.
"But that's all gone out of the window in January. I haven't trained for three weeks because I've had an infection in my knee.
"And when you are sat on your backside all day like on Tuesday, you want to eat, so it's not been the easiest.
"Right now I'm not as light as I will be at the first race, but I'm definitely going to lose another kilo by race one, and it's going to be tight."
At least Button was happy with the baseline of his new car as opposed to a year ago, when McLaren built one that failed to claim a podium for the first time since 1980.
On this occasion, a relieved Button said: "I enjoy driving this car.
"Our first day last year we were quick, but the car had its flaws and we could see that. This time we don't have those issues.
"The basic car itself is good and it works. No scary things with it. I'm really looking forward to getting back in it."
In sharp contrast, reigning champions Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel, along with engine partners Renault, suffered a second successive day of woe.
Vettel departed the circuit early on Wednesday after completing a total of just 11 laps over the two days due to issues with Renault's new systems.
A frustrated Vettel said: "With such big rule changes it's usual to have teething problems, and that's what tests are for, to sort those issues out."
