Well its February and I thought we might have a chance to get through this year without a big winter storm, then BAM! Schools are closed and the salt has been thrown down. Now, the salt melt is in your carpet. There are things you can do to help remove the dried salt from the carpet, but it is best to have your carpet extracted by a professional like North Raleigh Carpet Care. You may want to wait until we are out of the winter blues, so in the meantime, take a look at these tips!
Helping your carpet last against salt residue:
Helping your carpet last against salt residue:
- Vacuum the slush from entrance mats using a wet/dry vacuum. Do this several times a day if needed. Fold a towel and soak up any wet carpet areas.
- After carpet/mats are dry, vacuum them using a normal vacuum, with the brush bar making good contact with the fibers.
- Vacuum in multiple directions slowly .
- If the salt stain is still there, a stiff plastic bristle brush can be used to breakup the caked on salt.
- If the residue still won't break loose, then call North Raleigh Carpet Care and we will apply an Encapsulating Salt Stain Remover.
