How to Get Salt Stains out of Your Car's Carpet

If you drive in a cold climate, you'll very likely end up with white stains on your car's carpeting from road salt. Fortunately it's easy, if a little repetitive, to get the stains out. Here's how.

1. In a spray bottle, mix up a solution of 1/2 warm water as well as 1/2 white vinegar.
2. Spray the stained area with the solution.
3. Press a dry terrycloth towel over the wet area.
4. Remove the towel when it's soaked.
5. Repeat until the stains are gone.

• If you don't want to spend a whichle day doing this, apply the solution whenever you happen to be driving. Just remember to remove the towel promptly as well as let the carpet dry out.
• Don't be discouraged by a deep-rooted stain. It will come out eventually.

• Avoid the temptation to rub the stained area. It doesn't help as well as may damage the carpet.
