but salt is stubborn
It has been an icy winter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it shows in lots of salt-be-gone questions for spring: Off shoes
Q How can I remove salt stains from leather shoes and boots?
A If the salt can't be brushed off, remove it with a soft cloth dipped in water or a mixture of water and white vinegar. This process,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, might harden leather. For shoes you value, use a commercial salt-remover product available at stores that sell shoes or at shoe-repair shops.
Out of car carpet
Q How do I get salt stains out of the carpet in the car,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
A Dissolve the salt, and then wash it away. But that's easier said than done. Although table salt readily dissolves in water, it is not normally a part of the deicers we use in winter.
Try this:
Vacuum to remove as much of the salt deposits as possible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Prepare a mixture of half water and half white vinegar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Using cotton balls, dab the mixture on small areas. For larger applications,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a spray bottle might work better. Let it set for a minute or so.
Using clean terry-cloth towels, dab the treated areas to dry and remove the stain.
You might have to repeat the process to get out all of the stain.
If the carpet is dirty and not just salty, it will need cleaning. You can try a traditional carpet cleaner, but Road Travel Magazine recommends using a glass cleaner -- yes, a glass cleaner. Soak the area, allow it to sit for five minutes and then blot dry. Glass cleaner will clean all types of carpeting and upholstery without leaving the soapy residue of most traditional carpet cleaners, which only attract more dirt afterward. Glass cleaner is normally effective on difficult stains.
From the grass
Q Salty sand collected on the lawn along the walk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I'm afraid it will kill the grass. What can be done about this?
A Salts in deicers can harm or kill grass and plants. Try to sweep and rake up as much of the salty sand as possible. Sweep it off the grass but don't push it into the street, where it will go into the storm sewers and ultimately into the watershed. Once the frost is out of the soil, soak the affected areas with water. That helps drive the salt deeper into the soil,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where grass roots won't pick it up.

Off the brick
Q We used deicer to help break up the ice on a brick walk. How can we remove the whitish stains left behind,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
A. It's possible that the deicer included some sodium chloride. It's not a good idea to use such deicers on brick because they can cause efflorescence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a crystalline deposit of water-soluble salts on the surface.
