Importance of SUV Cargo Mats

SUV cargo mats play a significant part in protecting your vehicle’s interior.  The trunk space is prone to lots of damage, including spills and scratches. Regularly transporting items like sports equipment, gardening supplies, or even your pets, increases the risk of permanent damage. By investing in a quality cargo mat along with your cargo liner, you can ensure that your SUV’s floor is protected from the challenges that come with regular usage. This not only safeguards your vehicle, but helps with its resale value.

There are many benefits to adding cargo mats to your cargo liner purchase, especially for SUV’s. The rubber mat that we offer helps to keep your belongings secure during transit. A non-slip mat (the Hatchbag rubber mat) prevents items from sliding around, which is important when wanting to prevent damage to the trunk. Choosing the right cargo mat for your lifestyle and vehicle, can give you reassurance whilst driving.

Types of SUV Cargo Mats

Hatchbag offers a range of SUV cargo mats, but choosing the right one can sometimes be difficult. Here are the the types of cargo mats we offer and who best benefits from them.

Cargo Rubber Mat: This mat is designed to sit on the base of the Hatchbag cargo liner. We mainly recommend this mat to people who use their boot space heavily. The surface of the cargo mat is a Round Stud design, which helps to reduce slipping and sliding in transit. This mat is cut to shape, so fits the base of your boot perfectly and covers to the edges.

Cargo Pet Mat: This mat is also designed to sit on the base of your Hatchbag cargo liner. It has a non-slip rubber backing and can also be washed in your washing machine. We recommend this to pet owners who want to keep their pets extra comfy in the trunk. Prioritise your pooch and invest in the pet mat.

Cargo Odor Mat: Just like the other mats, this mat also sits on the base of your Hatchbag cargo liner. When transporting pets in your trunk, it is highly likely that they can start to smell. This mat is made with activated carbon which eliminates and absorbs bad odors. This mat also catches those pesky pet hairs.

Each Hatchbag cargo mat is custom fit to your SUV. By adding a cargo mat to your cargo liner purchase, you are maximising protection and prioritising the cleanliness of your trunk.

Top Features to Look for in SUV Cargo Mats

When looking for a SUV cargo mat, there are lots of features to look out for that enhance their functionality. A key feature to look for is a non-slip surface. Choosing a mat with a non-slip rubber backing is crucial to guarantee that no items are moving in transit. This is important for passenger safety and to prevent damage to your trunk.

Another key feature is water-resistance. Choosing a water resistant cargo mat for your SUV such as the Hatchbag cargo rubber mat is vital in preventing water damage to your trunk. This feature is especially beneficial for families or pet owners who may frequently deal with messes that they don’t want seeping into the floor of the trunk.

Ease of cleaning should also be a key feature to look for. Each Hatchbag cargo mat can be cleaned in situ. The Pet mat can also be washed in the washing machine to get that brand new feel. You don’t want to spend your time cleaning a cargo mat, so investing in Hatchbag promises less time spent cleaning.

Cleaning and Maintenance Tips for SUV Cargo Mats

If you want your cargo mat to last the lifetime of your car, cleaning and maintaining your SUV cargo mat is important. The cleaning method will depend on the type of material your mat is made from. For rubber mats and the Hatchbag odor mat, cleaning in situ with soap and water is effective in removing stains and dirt.

Carpeted mats such as the pet mat require a different approach when cleaning. Simply shaking off the mat is the first step to get rid of any loose dirt. You can then follow this up by spot-cleaning any stains with a carpet cleaner in the trunk, or simply pop it into your washing machine on a gentle spin.

When cleaning your SUV cargo mat, also look for any signs of wear and tear or damage. We like to say your cargo liners and cargo mats from Hatchbag will last the lifetime of your vehicle, but severe damage may make your mat less functional. However, by following our cleaning advice and maintenance tips, we can ensure you that your cargo mat will stay in the best condition.
