Sadly, the rock salt or sodium chloride, magnesium carbonate, and calcium carbonate utilized to melt ice and snow can leave clothes, carpets, and even shoes with undesirable stains. Although these salt stains are fairly easy to remove when fresh, they can damage shoes and weaken garment fabrics, especially wool and silk especially when salt is left on clothes for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to prevent damage as well as keeping your clothes at their best is to neutralize and flush out the salt right away after the stains appear.

Once you notice salt stains on your leather boots, take action immediately to clean them off before permanent damage occurs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that as long as the salted water is soaked, its acidic nature is diluted and will not cause much damage. Nevertheless, once the water has evaporated and only the salt is deposited on the surface, it acts as a strong acid. This chemical reaction weakens the leather fibers and the color fades, resulting in the evident dullness. Furthermore, it significantly shortens the lifespan of your boots. It is vital to remove salt stains from your leather boots immediately. Let us take a look at some of the methods to remove stains without vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Saddle soap. With a moist cloth, rub it on the saddle soap and your leather boots. Continue to rub to produce some lather. Once completely covered with lather, leave in place for a few minutes. Remove the lather with a damp cloth.<\/li><li>Lemon water. Squeeze a half-cut lemon into a bowl. Dip the squeezed lemon into the water to lessen its intensity. Rub the squeezed lemon in a circular motion on the stain. Clean with a dry cloth and continue buffing for a few minutes.<\/li><li>Baking soda. Prepare a solution with a teaspoon of baking soda into a bowl of water. Moisten a cloth into the solution and clean the stain.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_salt_remove_blood_stains\"><\/span><strong>Why does salt remove blood stains?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blood can leave behind an undesirable stain that can be difficult to remove even if you are using a potent detergent. One effective solution is to use salt. Let us take a look at the steps on using salt in removing bloodstains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Rinse the site with cold water. Place the garment under running water. Rinse the stain with cold water only or it will set and seal into the fabric. At this point, most of the blood can be removed especially if the stain is fresh.<\/li><li>Prepare a thick paste of salt and cold water. Apply this paste on the stain and leave in place for 10-20 minutes. Salt possesses strong dehydrating qualities and can lift away water and the blood. Rinse the stain after with more cold water.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Wash the garment normally. At this point, the fabric will look clean without the stain. Do not allow the fabric to dry but wash in a washing machine.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_salt_stains_out_of_UGGs\"><\/span><strong>How to get salt stains out of UGGs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a new pair of UGGs can be considered as an investment.
