Saturate them in carpet cleaner, scrub them, pressure wash it down. Repeat if necessary. High heat extraction could work too, but I'm pretty sure not many people have those machines readily at home and you still need to scrub them if you have some heavy stains.

But, if the floor mats are to the point where they're so worn down, then at that point I'd say get new floor mats.

Steam! It's your best friend I spray the soiled areas with a good fabric/carpet cleaner (I.e Chemical Guys), work it in a little bit with a brush and then steam it and wipe it with a clean towel.

Carpet cleaner, scrubbed with a stiff bristled brush, then vacuumed up.

Folex is your friend for stains. It can be purchased at Lowes.
