Because my roommate did it, and I don't know whether to be mad at her or not.
We have a tiny stackable unit.

Just for clarification, I'm worried about my washing machine and dryer, not her car's floor mats.

It's not something I would suggest. Tell her next time to hang them on the clothes line and spray them with a garden hose. That is a lot of dirt/sand that gets into the washer/dryer. I saw the after effect when someone did the same thing in our apartment complex.

Probably won't hurt your mats this time... but, I don't think that you should do that on a regular basis or the carpet fibers will pull loose and the mats themselves might get a bit bent. Don't think that your washer and dryer are equipped to handle doing that on a regular basis. I wouldn't be mad at your roomate... she probably didn't think it was a problem. Just scold her and tell her never ever to do it again.

Probably would not put them in the washer and dryer unless you have like a commercial grade unit. Try a water hose, soap and a brush

You can put them in there, depending on how durable your washer and dryer are- I do that with mine, but I would let it go this time, and ask her to not do it again if you don't like it. Or if your afraid it will tear it up.

i would put them in the washer but not the dryer, it would be better to air dry mats

No the rubber backs will mess up the agitator. You need to use a rug shampooer.
