ICE MELT BUILDUP
STAIN: White residue on carpet; eventual permanent discoloration.
CONTAINS: Ice melter salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride, or
potassium chloride) tracked into commercial buildings during winter
season.
1. Discuss problem with customer before taking action. Pre-test in an
inconspicuous area to determine whether ice melter has permanently
discolored carpet, and effectiveness of salt removal.
2. Rinse extract the area with an ALL FIBER RINSE solution, based on 8oz/gallon water.
3. Ensure adequate drying of carpet using forced air ventilation.
Note: Although ice melter salts dissolve in water, an ALL FIBER RINSE
solution speeds their removal from carpet and more effectively remove
salts embedded into the carpet. Walk-off mats are also recommended at
entryways to reduce salt track-in.
