Default Dirty OEM All-Weather Mats

I recently ordered a set of brand new OEM all-weather mats. I can't seem to keep them clean. I hang them on the clips at the do-it-yourself car wash and soap them up and hose them off, and a "dirt" residue still appears.

Is there a good product to keep them a dark black and clean?

I wish I had better news - I have tried for years (prior cars too). Brush, soap and water were there best I could do.
The crap up quick anyway...it just makes me want Spring and my "real" mats more.

I used to have those for a different car so i am not sure how well this would work but i just Soap water and a powerful hose. Hang it from a wall and hit it once let it dry an hit it again.

I got Weather Tech as well and really like the quality so far.
It's been only a few months so I have to see how long they will last though.
