Removing those unsightly white ice melt stains on your carpet can be a difficult task. If you’re attempting this yourself, using the proper solution is very “IMPORTANT”. You’ll want to use a mild acidic rinse and not an alkaline detergent. For this job I suggest calling a professional.
Ice melt products come in a variety of types and therefore have different compositions. Knowing the chemical makeup of the ice melt stain in question can be helpful to your professional carpet cleaner. Ice melting products can cause damage to your concrete, clothes and other valued items in addition to your home furnishings. It’s wise to clean these areas sooner rather than later.
After the carpets have been cleaned a carpet protector such as Dupont Teflon or Scotchgard All Fabric Protector should be applied to restore the protection and keep the carpet warranty valid. Consult your carpet’s warranty information for approved cleaning methods and guidelines.
Most reputable cleaners should carry a mild acidic rinse that can aide in the removal and neutralization of most problem areas.
