Question for you guys who live in a blizzard..

[Eldorado2k]

This topic came up somewhere today and I couldn’t help but wonder what if anything can be done to help prevent the interior carpets from getting this bad for you folks that live inside a blizzard this time of year?

What kind of effect does Scotchgard or the other good fabric protectors do against this type of salt & grime? Does anyone carry around a small brush i.e. a Tuff Shine Tire Brush in their car to brush their shoes off before getting inside? That was my 1st thought... I dunno if I could live with myself if my car ever got to this point. Lol. J/k



But seriously, does fabric guard help against that type of stuff?

Sound advice! However sometimes the salt and the yuck can still get on the carpeted areas on the edges of the floorliners. Since the salt is water soluble, I usually first clean it with some water and a terry towel. Then I will spot treat it with a Bissell carpet cleaner. Now that I have my Tornador, that will be the next solution.
Salt will eat right through the Scotch Guard or any type of fabric protectant.

Yep. And they (and similar brands even) are so good that I never go back to the originals, any season. The OEMs stay mint in my garage for when I sell the car.

Same here.

As an aside, one thing I have noticed is that the actual carpeting (as well as the OEM carpeted mats) are getting thinner, cheaper and cheaper looking. My recently sold 2006 Outback had way thicker/more substantial mats and carpeting throughout than my 2017 Allroad and my 2021 Crosstrek and CX-5.

Personal Traverse? If so let me know, I think I have an extra set of either all weather mats or floor liners in my office. I’ll ship them out to you
