A vehicle floor mat vacuum machine includes an elongate open mouth communicating with an interior chamber for passage of a floor mat therethrough and between an upper feed roller and a lower brush roller for contacting a carpet surface of the floor mat. A vacuum source connects to a vacuum manifold to create suction, as the brush roller and suction force work in conjunction to remove sand, dirt and other debris from the floor mat. An electric motor, drive belt and reduction gear assembly rotate the feed roller and brush roller in opposite directions with the brush roller rotating at a significantly higher speed. In one embodiment, the vacuum source is a central vacuum system, wherein a solenoid-controlled valve in the vacuum line extending from the feed roller is opened for a timed sequence during operation of the machine.
