In Reply to: How to remove road salt from carpets? posted by rdb-323Ci on June 10, 2001 at 23:14:52:

Mix 1 part Woolite to 6 parts water and put it in a spray bottle. Spray a moderate amount onto your entire carpet area, concentrating on the salty areas a bit more. Then whip out your plastic scrub brush (don't use metal, it'll tear up the carpet) and get to scrubbin. It will suds up quite well, keep scrubbing for a few more minutes. Then get out a bunch of cotton towels and wipe away the foam. Soak up as much of the moisture as possible, lightly "buffing" as you go along to raise more of the dirt/grime out. Let it air dry (just leave your doors open for a few hours) and it should be good as new.

Works on floormats too.

Also, don't forget to scotch guard once it's completely dry.
