What to do if your car overheats? A detailed overview

June 9, 2025

Do you know that a car’s cabin is the most prone to potential damage around the year? Since there is no way to prevent the onslaught of mud, dirt, debris, and fluid from damaging the original carpet, using a premium all-weather protection floor mat is the only way to stop the permanent damage. But many car owners don’t even know about the right material and size to pick while doing car floor mat shopping. Hence, we bring a complete guide to buying a perfect car floor mat without going wrong. So, without further ado, let’s get started. Why does your car need premium floor mat? If you are someone who doesn’t feel the importance of premium floor mats, then it’s a wake-up call for you. There are various reasons why you need a good pair of custom floor mats. ·        Moisture is the biggest threat to car flooring. In monsoon and humid weather conditions, excessive moisture can easily seep into the standard rubber car mats, which leads to the birth of allergens, mycotoxins, and irritants. All these can impact your health and cause allergies. In the long run, it can damage the original flooring. ·        Road salt can destroy the carpet. In the winter season, there are multiple ice-melting chemicals and road salt containing magnesium carbonate and calcium that cause white stains. Moreover, the excessive alkaline residue destroys carpet fibers and attracts more grime and dirt. ·        Mud and sticky substances don’t go away easily. Our shoes easily catch mud and other sticky substances on the road that go inside the normal rubber car mats to destroy the original flooring. Despite cleaning, they stay in the fibers and cause bacteria and germs in the long run. ·        Dirty average mats emit bad odor. When you pick average standard mats, you tend to invite bad odor and an unhygienic environment inside your car. Over time, these mats start producing a foul smell and cause you embarrassment in front of other passengers. Important things to consider while buying car floor mats If you don’t want to go wrong while buying car floor mats, you must pay attention to these aspects. ·        Fit and size The mats should be model-specific. When you buy custom floor mats, they offer the exact size with proper cutouts. However, universal car foot mats don’t give an exact fit. ·        Cleaning friendly If you go with custom-fitted mats, the cleaning becomes easier. Pay attention to the mats’ pattern and groove depth to know the exact time and effort required to clean their footwells properly. In short, pick the mats that can be cleaned easily. ·        Appearance No doubt, the mats attract everyone’s attention. Hence, pay attention to their style and look. Unlike standard mats, a well-shaped and well-designed mat not only protects the floor but also enhances the style quotient. ·        Water, dust, and heatproof Always pick waterproof and dustproof car floor mats to ensure maximum protection against rainwater and UV rays. Indian weather is always hot & humid. Severe monsoon rains cause waterlogging, which can bring excessive moisture inside the cabin. ·        Durability with no bad smell Rubber mats often emit chemical odors and are not very durable. Hence, it’s better to invest in premium mats that run longer and don’t cause foul smells.   Types of car floor mats to choose from The aftermarket is flooded with a versatile range of mats. It can be overwhelming to find out multiple styles and variants for a customer. Hence, we bring the most prominent car floor mats to choose from as per your budget and requirements. ·        Rubber car mats You can find these mats everywhere. They are durable and easy to maintain. That’s why, it’s a preferred choice for car owners. Good-quality rubber mats even last longer and keep dust, dirt, and mud at bay. However, there is less customization, and the problem of bad odor is prominent. ·        All-season mats As the name says it all, these mats are known for offering all-season protection. The mats are often designed with thermoplastic or synthetic rubber to offer year-round protection against weather-centric damage. The downside is that you can’t find a luxurious design or construction in these mats. ·        Luxury car mats These mats exude luxury and can be found in multiple materials, including suede, carpet, or leather. They look premium and have custom stitching to match everyone’s taste and requirements. However, the maintenance cost is on the higher side, and mats are not as protective as all-weather mats. ·        Universal uniform mats As the name suggests, universal mats are meant for almost every car model. These mats offer only basic protection. They don’t even fit properly and cause discomfort while driving. ·        Custom-fit luxury mats These mats give the best of both worlds, whether it's fit or protection. The custom floor mats are made with precision technology to give the exact fit as per the model. The contoured design, raised edges, and multi-layers of protection trap mud, dirt, and debris. The best part is that every car model gets custom mats with an exact fit and improved functionality. The best examples are 9D and 7D custom-fit combination mats that not only offer heavy-duty protection but also a luxurious feel. Final Thoughts It’s important to pick the best car floor mats that can protect the original flooring and the cabin from weather-related and external damages. They should provide a fine balance between protection and aesthetics. By picking the best custom floor mats, you can not only protect your car’s resale value but also save money on expensive repairs. Hence, it’s always better to pick luxurious custom floor mats to improve the protection and style of your car’s cabin. AutoFurnish offers a premium range of custom floor mats in 9D and 7D variants for every car model. To get them for your car, visit the store.

With a sudden shift in the climate, it’s difficult to predict the weather conditions. Recent rainstorms have created havoc in Indian cities. People witnessed high-speed winds followed by heavy rains that caused severe damage to buildings and vehicles. If you are stuck in traffic or driving on a highway, it becomes quite a task to protect yourself and the car in the middle of a severe rainstorm. It may cause a breakdown or damage that can put you in trouble. But a few life-saving driving tips and monsoon car accessories can minimize the damage, accidents, and trouble while driving in a rainstorm. Tips for driving safely in a rainstorm ·        Keep more distance than usual from vehicles. It is the most important thing to do during a rainstorm. Minimize your speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the road. The rainfall reduces traction on the road, making it difficult to stop the vehicle. The extra space and minimum speed give you time to react in unwanted situations. In short, it will help reduce the risk of collisions. ·        Turn on hazard lights. A rainstorm severely impacts visibility. It becomes really hard to see the road and vehicles on both sides. Apart from turning on headlights and LED taillights, it’s better to turn on hazard lights to mark your presence on the road. However, don’t use high beam lights, as they can badly minimize the visibility. ·        Don’t take sharp turns. Many drivers get panicked and start taking sharp turns during rainstorms. But these abrupt and fatal movements can cause skidding and result in a fatal collision. It’s better to go slow and turn gradually, especially at intersections. ·        Avoid overtaking other vehicles. It’s one of the biggest mistakes that most drivers make during such weather. Overtaking a vehicle can lead your car to hydroplane, and you may lose the steering control, resulting in an accident. It is often caused by the water between the pavement and the tires. It’s better to drive in a lane or follow the vehicle in front of you. ·        Avoid waterlogged roads and cruise control. Both are dangerous during a heavy rainstorm, as you may end up meeting a deep pothole or an accident or collision. ·        Put defroster to use. Foggy windows during a rainstorm are an obvious thing that can also minimize visibility to a great extent. Hence, use the defroster system to remove condensation and get a crystal-clear view.   5 car accessories to install to combat rainstorms like a pro Apart from taking the necessary precautions and tips mentioned above, you also need to use a few important car accessories to combat rainstorms like a pro. ·        High-quality 9D or 7D foot mats If you are using fancy foot mats, then it’s time to add safety as well. The 9D and 7D mats are not only stylish but also offer multiple layers of protection against dirt, water, fluids, spillage, mud, dust, etc. Unlike rubber mats, they don’t even cause bad odor and keep bacteria and fungus away. High-quality foot mats are one of the important monsoon car accessories. Visit the store to find out about a luxe range of 9D and 7D foot mats for all car models. ·        Monsoon car covers Invest in at least two all-weather-proof monsoon car covers made with an imported taffeta material, heavy-duty straps, and buckles.
