Living in Canada forces us to deal with the seasonal winter by-product of road salt to assist with driving safety. The inherent downfall is that the salt is tracked into your vehicle via your boots/shoes throughout the winter. As a result, calcium buildup from the road salt adheres to the mats and carpets of your vehicle.
| Thankfully there is a method to removing the road salt from your vehicle's carpets and mats. The downside first - it re-occurs, meaning that after each winter season the road salt will come back. The upside - utilizing a steam-cleaner (mix of almost boiling water & carpet shampoo) removes the road salt, but it will leave the carpets damp (even wet for periods in excess of 48 hrs - depending on how heavily salted the area is), Properly vent area after to prevent mildew.  |  So how do I get my hands on a steam-cleaner? 1. Buy one which will cost thousands of dollars (can be used for in-home use as well - check eshine.ca ) 2. Rent a portable steam-cleaner from your grocery store, home improvement store (typically not as versatile to get into hard to reach areas) 3. Have it professionally completed (check jrek.ca) |
