Naturally remove salt stains from your car

Rock salt and other products are necessary to keep roads and sidewalks safe. Still, there’s no denying that it can wreak havoc on your vehicle.

That crusty layer of salt on your car’s carpet may seem permanent but it isn’t. Don’t worry. We can get rid of it for you.

With winter comes the unavoidable mess of dingy and salty slush that clings to your boots. That grimy slush gets on everything. Your clothes. Your boots. And on almost every inch of your vehicle. Not only does the salt look bad on and inside your car, but it also damages your vehicle.

Nothing ruins a car quite like road salt. Salt will degrade your car’s interior surfaces. It’ll also corrode any exposed metal surfaces on your vehicle. The work required to clean these salt-stained surfaces is tough. It’s as annoying as trying to remove pet hair. We understand that.

Keeping your car clean in the winter may feel like a continuous battle. But it doesn’t need to be. We use a comprehensive cleaning method to remove rock salt without harming your car.

Left untreated, road salt can permanently stain and damage your carpet. Your vehicle is a big investment and should be taken care of.

This is how we remove stubborn salt from your vehicle:

You’ve likely attempted to remove salt stains on your own with success. It’s not a simple thing to do. So you understand that it requires a proven process. That’s why we’ve created an extensive process to remove road salt from your vehicle.

  1. Vacuum the area thoroughly
    Extract loose bits of salt and dirt from the area.
  2. Spray salt stains with a cleaning solution
    Break up the hard salt crust on the carpet’s surface
  3. Scrub salt-stained areas
    Use multiple brushes to further loosen and remove the salt.
  4. Soak up excess liquid
    Use microfiber towels to mop up any excess cleaning solution from the carpet.
  5. Freshwater rinse and extraction
    Clear away salt, cleaning solution, and any residue with fresh water then clean out everything with an extractor.
  6. Inspection, protection, and final touches
    As a part of the last step in the process, we apply a fabric protectant to help repel dirt and salt. This keeps your carpet clean for a long time.

Although there are only a few steps in this process, the time it can take will vary depending on how much pet hair needs to be cleared away.

FAQ

How long does it take for salt to ruin a car?

Let’s say that salt stays on your car for many years. In that time, if you don’t get your car cleaned regularly, then road salt could harm your car within as little as 8 years. You can prevent this with a thorough exterior car wash and detail at least once a year.

How do I protect my car from salt?

Protecting your car from road salt can be simple. Getting a wash and wax often throughout the winter season will do the job. Apply a strong coat of wax to your car before the start of the winter season. This will shield your vehicle from the corrosive effects of road salt.

Does salt ruin car paint?

Yes, it does. As salt sits on your paint, it will start to eat away at the paint over time. This is why it is important to clean your car at least once a month during the winter.

How do you know if your car has salt damage?

You can tell that your car has been affected by salt damage if the paint appears dull or faded. A more obvious sign of deterioration is rust on areas with exposed metal. The signs of salt damage inside your car are easier to see. When someone tracks salt into your vehicle, you’ll be able to see white, crusty areas where it has landed.
