Over the winter I got some salt stains in the carpet of the Fit. Anyone got any good product recommendations that could take them out without messing up the carpet? ---

Yeah, usually it just washes right out. I never used anything fancy. Usually just used the leftover car wash water with a scrub brush, hosed them down, and let them dry. ---

Buy a can of carpet cleaner and follow the directions. It will say to blot the severe stains with a damp cloth… do that and then clean like normal and they’ll come right out. At least they did on my junky car. ---

Yeah I used some “Tuff Stuff” (or something like that) Carpet/fabric cleaner doing the spray it on, rub with a damp cloth, wipe it up and vacuum method, but they are still there. They are a little lighter than they were originally. Maybe Ill just have to make a few more passes and use some more old fashioned elbow grease. ---

easiest way is warm water and a rag to soak up some water and a vacuum(like a shop vac) with that flat nozzle
