[TrufflePig]

Hi all,

i have never had to do this b/c i always store my vechile for the winter. and my winter i could care less about really in terms of carpet stains.

anyways, what's the best method for those that have removed salt stains from their carpets?

i gotta help a buddy out.

Products? Methods?

thanks

TrufflePig,

Meguiars heave duty carpet cleaner works well, however if it's bad you will probably need to have them steam cleaned (especially on the drivers side where your feet always rest).

I would use Megs APC+, work it in with the megs interior brush, then rinse the area with my little green machine(clean water in it) and vacuum dry.

Stronger cleaners make no diference on salt stains. If you dont have an extractor wet scrub vacume and repeat.

Being born and raised in the blessed city of Fargo, ND I can tell you that the best thing you can use on your carpets to remove those salt stains is a Cleaner with a Steam Vacuum. A carpet cleaner alone will work, but it will take a lot of time and elbow grease to clean up by itself. With the help of the steam cleaner you can knock that salt out and be done cleaning in minutes.
