How to get salt stains out of a car carpet?
This winter I’ve been tracking an unusual amount of salt back into my car, and let’s just say, you can tell. How do I remove the salt stains from my carpet?

Salt can be a big help on the road, but not so much in your car! Luckily, it’s easy enough to get rid of salt stains—just follow these steps to be prepared for the winter season
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and water
- Spray or pour the vinegar-water solution into the salt-stained carpet
- Soak it for 2-3 minutes, as this helps to break down the crystalized salt
- Now, use a damp cloth to rub the affected area
- Blot with paper towels and/or a dry towel
- Leave to air dry
If you want to make sure your car is as protected as possible on the road this winter, you may want to review your car insurance policy, too. To do this in seconds, check out the
