The vinyl floors in my Pro have a chalky white appearance. I don’t normally notice them because I have Truxedo floor mats. But I was greeted with this surprise when pulling them out to clean. Anyone else having this problem and have a possible solution?

Must have to do with the backing of your floor mats. My 2 year old vinyl looks like new and I haven't done anything to keep it that way.

It is strange that all of the original flooring looks the same, even around the edges that I assume weren't covered by your mats ... were they "treated" at some time with tire sidewall cleaner??

Didn’t treat the floors or the backing of the mats.

I have had vinyl floors in other trucks with no problems.
