Seriously. Swapping floor mats sounds like a solution looking for a problem. If my weather tech mats get dirty in the winter I just take them out and dump em off. Good to go. Why would I want a mat that's going to soak up the water and stay wet?

Right? The only difference is that the scrapper moves from the back of the vehicle to the passenger floor mat, propped on the seat a little.

I have floor liners and winter specific car mats. To each their own.

The moisture is there when you bring it in on your shoes, regardless of if it's in a puddle on your floor liners or in water hog mats. However, when it's in water hog mats, it has more surface area leading to more evaporation which then cycles out more quickly with running your car heater.

Point being, removing liners can sometimes be tricky (depending on how fitted they are), if they're stiff or soft, etc. Most cars manage day to day moisture fine without being an issue.

Winter specific car mats is a completely new concept to me. I just knock the snow off my boots as best I can, and shake the sand and dirt off the plain old regular mats every once in a while. Well, in the spring, to be honest.
