Summary

Bedrug;Bedtred Cleaning Information

This document provides installation instructions and product information for the BedRug/BedTred interior flooring kit designed for Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ models. The kit is a premium liner for Jeep vehicles, offering a durable and easy-to-maintain flooring solution.

Function Description:

The BedRug/BedTred interior flooring kit is designed to replace the factory carpet in Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ models, providing a custom-fit, mold and mildew resistant flooring solution. It offers enhanced durability and ease of cleaning compared to traditional carpet. The kit includes pre-cut pieces for the driver side front floor, passenger side front floor, and rear passenger floor, along with heat shield material and hook fasteners for secure installation. The material is engineered to be extremely resistant to most chemicals, making it suitable for rugged use and easy cleanup of spills.

Important Technical Specifications:

Material: Mold and mildew resistant, engineered composite foam.
Chemical Resistance: Extremely resistant to most chemicals, including acids, gasoline, oils, and household cleaning chemicals.
Temperature for Adhesion: Jeep floor should be at least 68°F (20°C) for maximum adhesion of the hook fasteners.
Kit Components: Driver side front floor, passenger side front floor, rear passenger floor, heat shield material, hook fasteners, and instruction sheet.
Compatibility: Specifically designed for Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ models (BRTJ97F and BTTJ97F front kits).
Warranty: Three-year limited warranty from the original date of purchase, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Usage Features:

Custom Fit: The kit is pre-cut to precisely fit the floor pan areas of Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ models, eliminating the need for extensive trimming.
Easy Installation: The installation process is designed to be straightforward, with clear, step-by-step instructions and accompanying figures. It does not require the removal of seats, as the kit and factory carpet are precut to make this unnecessary.
Secure Attachment: Hook fasteners and adhesive backing ensure the flooring pieces are securely attached to the vehicle's floor pan, preventing shifting. Heat shields are pre-installed on the underside of the front pieces using locator marks for proper placement.
Under-Console and Seat Bracket Integration: The design allows the flooring pieces to tuck neatly under the console and around seat brackets, providing a seamless and integrated appearance.
No Seat Removal Required: A key feature is that the installation can be completed without removing the vehicle's seats, simplifying the process for the user.
Front Seat Adjustment for Installation: Front seats need to be adjusted to their rearmost position for installing the front floor pieces and then to the fully forward and tilted-up position for installing the rear floor piece, optimizing access to the floor pan.
Console Screw Management: For the rear floor piece installation, loosening the two screws in the bottom of the cup holders on the rear of the console (if equipped) is recommended to facilitate placement, with retightening required afterward.
Adhesion Preparation: Emphasizes the importance of cleaning all areas with rubbing alcohol and ensuring the Jeep floor is at least 68°F (20°C) for optimal adhesive performance.
Warning on Floor Mats: The manual explicitly warns against using front floor mats with BedRug or BedTred floor kits. If floor mats are used, it is imperative to re-use the removable retention hooks from the factory carpet, installed to the manufacturer's specifications. It strictly advises against using floor mats or liners with BedTred Kits, or with BedRug Kits without retention hooks.

Maintenance Features:

Mold and Mildew Resistant: The material inherently resists mold and mildew, contributing to a healthier and cleaner interior.
Easy to Clean: The BedRug/BedTred material is easily cleaned with water and household cleaning chemicals.
Cleaning Methods:
- Routine Cleaning: A vacuum, broom, brush, or compressed air can be used to remove dirt, grime, sand, and mulch.
- Deep Cleaning: Pressure washing is an effective method for cleaning soiled BedRug/BedTred, as water will not harm the product.
- Acid Spills: For acid spills, baking soda should be applied immediately to neutralize the acid and protect the vehicle's paint.
- Tougher Stains (Gasoline, Oil, Chemicals): Use detergent soap with degreaser and water, followed by thorough rinsing. This type of soap is commonly found in car wash facilities with pressure washing equipment.
Quick Drying: The polypropylene closed-cell foam does not absorb water, allowing the composite surface to dry quickly.
Durability: The engineered composite surface resists stains and deterioration from most chemicals, ensuring the product remains serviceable for a long time.
Warranty Support: The product comes with a three-year limited warranty, and instructions are provided for obtaining warranty service, including the need for a return authorization number and cleaning the product before return.
Product Registration: Users are encouraged to register their product online or by scanning a QR code, which helps BedRug provide updates, service information, helpful hints, or warranty support. Registration requires the 6-digit lot and date code found on the underside of the product.
