I have the original lambs wool mats and despite my best efforts the trunk carpet is looking a tad bit dirty due to my using the car to haul parts and various things working on the car. Any suggestions for floor mat brands to replace them with including a trunk mat or a safe way to shampoo the trunk carpeting? The lambs wool mats still look good, they're just starting to get a bit matted.

 

You can get the Lambswool mats for about $300 from Jaguarpartsunlimited. As for the trunk, maybe try to find one in a salvage yard, the pieces remove fairly easily.

 

I wrapped my OEM floor mats in Vinyl so I can easily wipe off stains

As for the trunk lining. We can re-carpet your whole trunk to a darker color, or use pine sol

 

I was just thinking about cleaning my lambswool the other day. I may look into having them dry-cleaned, wool area rug cleaning services or other options. I still have an old set from my xj-40 (sold), and try cleaning those first. I've got nothing to loose on those. I think my trusty owners manual covers it, if I only read it once in a while. Thought I had the whole thing memorized.

Just an add on. Be carefull what you use to clean the LWool floor mats. Although many products (woolite) are ok for wool items, They are just for that, wool not leather. Those cleaners are for wool garments. Our floor mats are actual hides, and the leather hide on the back will not take well to many "safe for wool" cleaners. Also dark died hides will not take well to many cleaners. Brushing with "wool wire brush", vacuuming, and drycleaning when soiled are most likely the best actions. Although a lightly damp cloth for spot cleaning should not hurt.
The wool wire brush looks like a pet brush with large spaced bristles, not to be confused with our rust removal wire brush. One other thing about wool rugs, is that one of the natural properties of a wool rug, is that it is to a point self cleaning. Just read up on advantages of wool area rug vs synthetics.
The RR (Rolls Royce) blokes have the same issues on there forums.

 

Pine Sol would clean grease out of carpeting? To be honest I was thinking of standard floor mats, maybe custom with a Jaguar logo. The lambs wool mats while being fancy in their own right seem out of place to me in the car, especially when I have kids and the mats could be easily matted and ruined by getting them wet.

 

Just limit the kids to the lincoln

 

They are most of the time, but the Jag is our long distance cruiser due to the extra room.
