Salt Removal in Saint John

Specialised cleaning for the winter salt that builds up inside and around your vehicle.

If you drive in Saint John through the winter, road salt ends up in your car. It comes in on boots, dries into the carpet as white crusted stains, and coats the door sills, mats and lower panels. Salt removal is the service for undoing a New Brunswick winter.

Inside the vehicle, dried salt sits in the carpet fibres and on the mats as chalky white residue. We break it down and lift it out rather than brushing it around, working through the footwells, the mats, the door sills and the areas around the pedals where it concentrates most.

Around the vehicle, salt collects in the door shuts, the sills and the lower bodywork. We rinse and clean these areas so residue is not left sitting on paint and trim once the weather turns.

This is worth doing more than once over a long winter, and it is worth doing again in the spring before salt residue has spent months in the carpet. Salt removal pairs naturally with shampooing when the stains have set in deeply.

02

Choose Your Service

Pick the services your vehicle needs. Not sure? Describe it and we will recommend honestly.

03

Park somewhere we can work around the vehicle, with an outdoor tap and a power outlet nearby.

04

We Clean Your Vehicle

We arrive at your address and get on with it. You carry on with your day.

What we ask you to have ready

Because we clean at your location, we ask that you have an outdoor tap and a standard power outlet available. Most driveways, garages and parking spots already have both.

Questions

Salt Removal — common questions

Anything else you want to know, just ask when you get in touch.

Dried salt has to be dissolved before it can be removed, otherwise brushing simply redistributes it. We treat the affected carpet and mats, work the residue loose and extract it, paying particular attention to the footwells where salt concentrates.
