salt isnt a stain, its salt, it disolves

throw mat on driveway  
turn on hose  
bast carpets till durt stops coming out  
scrub with aq brush and a shitload of soap  
blast with hose till soap stops coming out

soak interior carpet with a pop bottle of water  
vacuum  
repeat  
repeat  
repeat  
throw down a load of soab  
scrub the fuck out of it  
throw down another litre of water  
vaccum  
park the car outside and let it run for a 1/2 hour with the windows cracked slightly, leaving the floormats standing on edge against the center console

make sure the heater is on 100% floor, and the heat level is 100% hot

should result in perfectly clean and dry carpets (vehical in motion = heat wicking out thru the steel floors, which is why you PARK the car to dry the carpets)

shampoo the carpet for coffee stains. Or the carpet stain remover.

bleach works really good

and… well since salt dissolves in water… might as well use water then vacuum it out and then use more water til its gone
