I've done it a few times. I have a 2600 PSI gas power washer and let'er rip on some carpet mats on my neighbors' mini-van mats and they really turned out well. Like D&D said, just don't get to close or keep it in one spot for too long. Kind of like polishing, nice and slow, but keep it moving. I'd do an initial rinse out with the power washer, then spray some DuraGloss foam cleaner and scrub, then rinse out again. It's kinda cool to see the black water pouring out of them.

Oh, and don't forget to mind your nozzle tip...don't use the most potent nozzle. Again, like polishing, go least aggressive nozzle and move your way up.
