When I bought my 03 MO, I had my folks bring the "winter" floor mats up from Florida as soon as they could because they weren't available in Canada :confused: Though they're available here now, and Husky and others now make some nice floor liners, that didn't help me with the salt stains I had in the black carpeting following the last part of the winter in early 03.
I tried all sorts of concoctions over the next couple of years and then I found Simonize Salt Stain Cleaner. In short -- the stuff's amazing!! Follow the directions on the bottle and the salt stains are totally gone.
Hopefully this saves others from having to go through the same grief I experienced. |

Thanks for the tip. I scrubbed my @ss off to remove the salt from last winter. |

A rag or stiff brush would probably work a little better than your butt cheeks! :D |

First I have heard of the product but I can use it. Where did you find it ? |

mucho apologies for taking so long to reply -- my "employer" has kept me a little busy out of the country for awhile. Anyhow -- Canadian Tire. And just to speed up the drying time, I remove the "excess" liquids with a Bissell Little Green Machine, though I suspect any shopvac would do the same. |

Thnx!
Not to late given the mild winter. With the 2 dumps in the last couple of weeks will be needing it soon, although with the current storm Halifax has been spared the worst.
But I did buy jaak's mats, so carpet is now well protected for the most part. |

| To use salt one would have to admit that you have had snow. It has been really lacking here this year in Calgary so I guess no salt cleaning for me. :2: :2: |

I lived in Calgary from 95-97 and loved it (except for maybe the "Alberta Smile" -- don't miss that). Thanx for rubbing it in :cursin: . The even sadder part is that I'm not even in Kingston anymore :( , where they too have no snow. My employer saw fit last summer to transfer me to Petawawa, ON (about 1 1/2 hours west of Ottawa) where we have PLENTY of snow :3: .
Those cheques of "Ralph Bucks" sure must have been nice. |
