Default Get salt out of your carpets!

Okay, so you might have tryed a few techniques.. they might have worked, but if they haven't yet dont give up!
It's actully pretty easy, all you need is a kettle a heavy brush and a wetvac, which you can rent from some rentall stores or supermarkets.

So boil, the water, and poor it on the salted areas let is soak in a few minutes, and scrub(use plenty of elbow grease!)
Then go over your wet carpet with the wet vac. You might have to go over the area a few times, depending on how long you let the salt sit there.

Let me know if you have tryed this or know any other ways, of removing salt, or grease.

And are you talking about salt from the roads? Or table salt?
