what the best product out there that can remove salt stains from car's carpeting?

an interior shampoo or hotwater/shampoo and some other method of extraction like a wet vac

Interior brush
Foaming carpet cleaner
Shop vac


Brush out the crusty shit, vacuum, spray the cleaner, brush it again, vacuum and repeat the process until desired results are achieved.

vinegar and water 50/50, spray, scrub, soak up vacuum.

try this shit for a $1 at dollar store,it works well for a buck,seriously just try it.

Since it is a Chrysler 200, you must use a gold infused whale semen based cleaner. You can find these cleaners at your local Luxury car boutique. That is the only type of product that is worthy of cleaning said carpet. Any normal cleaner will lower the awesomeness of your vehicle.








But on a real note, do what Muskie said, brand will not be important for road salt, just water and a wet/dry vac has worked for me in the past.

Thanks

No product is going to remove salt. You really just need to soak/dissolve and remove it. More than likely you are going to need to shampoo the area a couple times otherwise it will still feel crusty to the touch.

Spring was the biggest pain in the ass time for shampooing interiors. The shit took forever to dry since it was usually 50 degrees and wet. That being said make sure you run some fans in the car and crack the windows to let the moisture out. Otherwise in 2 weeks you'll be asking us how to get the smell of mold out. Let me tell you...you can't unless you soak enzyme cleaner down to the padding

I can actually get big chunky flakes of salt off my carpeting where it collects at the kick panel and plastic door sill. I gotta get some weathertech liners.

Does weathertech make the molded floor liners for your car? If they do, get them once you get it cleaned up. My carpets still look brand new. Plus, they are local to you northern folk. One of the best things I have bought for my car to date.

Yea, these stock mats in the 1500 blow! The collect the snow/water/ice and then leak out the side on to the floor.

For the last two cars, I have done the weathertech liners, and never looked back. I wish they went up a little higher on the sides, but I'll live with having to do some cleaning right by the doorsill, instead of the entire interior.
