Keeping the Salt Stains Off Your Car and Clothes

Cleaning your shoes and items during the winter months

The winter season brings us snowy and cold weather. We already know that, and we also know that salt can play a major role in keeping items we own dirty throughout the winter. Salt is used to de-ice the roads, but it also likes to attach itself to our cars, clothes, and boots. Some of the biggest problems that we have to face throughout the winter are the salt stains that coat our cars and boots.

Whether you’re out shoveling your driveway or on your way to work, it is inevitable that you will get snow – and salt – on your footwear and vehicle on a daily basis during the winter season.

Sponge Outlet has a few cleaning tricks to make sure your car, as well as your boots are clear of the salt stains, so you won’t create more of a mess in your home or car.

Cleaning Vehicles of Salt

The salt stains that coat your vehicle aren’t just an unattractive nuisance; they can actually do a lot of damage to your paint job.

  • To keep your car looking its best, we recommend spot cleaning your vehicle with a microfiber towel dipped in a mixture of water and vinegar.

This cleaning solution is gentle on your vehicle’s paint but tough on salt, and the microfiber towel will keep any scratches from occurring as you wipe the car down.

Removing Salt from Footwear

Waterproofing your boots will keep them from getting wet throughout the winter months, but they’re not full proof on keeping the salt stains off the boots. There are a few different techniques for de-salting footwear, but the Instant Erase Shoe/Sneaker Cleaner provided by us is the best option to clean your footwear during the winter season.

This cleaner is tough on dirt without leaving behind residue that will harm your shoes. You can expect your footwear to last much longer throughout the years if you use this product to clean your shoes during the winter season. It can be a pain to clean your shoes constantly during the winter, but the Instant Erase Shoe/Sneaker Cleaner makes it that much easier.

Removing Road Grime from Your Automobile Wheels

Road Grime on Car Tires

Spring is usually all over the place when it comes to weather. It will be rainy one day, snowy on another, and warm and sunny the other days. It creates a mixture of rain, mud, dirt, grim, and ice that your automobile has to deal with. The wheels can carry around quite a bit of dirt and grime.

Here is a simple way to get rid of the grime on your automobile wheels:

Monster Scrubby Sponge

The Monster Scrubby Sponge is one of a kind when it comes to cleaning the exterior of your automobile. I will stiffen up to a metallic wool in cold water, and it will stay plush and soft in warm water. When cleaning the grime off your wheels, this can be a very useful sponge to get the tough dirt that might be caked on from the Spring season.

  1. Begin by hosing down the tires and rims before anything else
  2. Use the monster scrubby sponge to scrub down the tougher dirt and grime.
  3. Then, you can add the monster scrubby sponge to a bucket of warm soapy water.
  4. The scrub will be much softer, which then you can apply the soap to the tires.
  5. Hose down the tires and rims.

To wipe down the tires, you can use our microfiber cleaning towels. These can be put to use on a car because they will clean almost any surface and never leave any scratches. For any loose dirt or dust on the wheels, the microfiber cleaning towels will get rid of them leaving your wheels squeaky clean!
