road salt stain on interior carpet

[james finlayson]

Your in the right place. If you could post a pic or two of the stains that would be great. Also, what have you already tried to use and do you have any equipment such as a shop vac/brushes etc?

I have tried reg rug shampoo and yes have a shop vac and a few detailing brushes, thank you for your speedy reply

A lot of people have good luck with Folex on things like that. A good all purpose cleaner (APC) should work also. Use a bucket full of hot water and APC, dip your brush in the solution and soak the area, scrub it hard, and use your shop vac to suck it up. In theory it should work. Woolite has been a favorite of many folks for this method as well.

Your welcome. If that dont work out for you, let us know. Stains can be tricky and sometimes it takes trying several different products or techniques to finally get it, but I really dont think you`ll have much problem with this.

I agree with the suggestion of Folex and the Woolite (or similar) carpet/rug cleaner though don`t recommend "hard scrubbing". Allow the product to do the work. Hard scrubbing is...well "hard" on the carpet fibers. To that I would add RINSE THOROUGHLY. I use and recommend the use of an "all fiber rinse" product when cleaning carpet/upholstery. If you choose to purchase the fiber rinse product you might just as well pick up a traffic lane cleaner (TLC) product while you are there.

Try L.A. Awesome. Works for me everytime.

And there`s also a saying "whatever doesn`t come up can just get dyed over" good luck
