The top part of the BedRug van mat # VTRG96X is made of Poly(p-phenylene oxide) which can take a beating and the soap should not be a problem. But the other chemicals, I suppose it depends on what they are. Heavy acidic chemicals could wear it down. But all you would have to do is hose off the mat since the back is waterproof. If you wash the chemicals away at the end of the day it should last the life of the van.

From what I found the material is good with diluted acids, alkalis, fair with concentrated acids, alcohol, grease/oil, and ketones, and not so good with aromatic hydrocarbons or halogens.
