  1. Vacuum up the pieces of rock salt that are on the carpet.

  2. Mix a solution of equal parts vinegar and water and put it into a spray bottle.

  3. Spray the stained area with the solution.

  4. Allow the vinegar solution to sit on the stain for at least 15 minutes.

  5. Blot up the solution with a clean sponge. Lightly scrubbing may help to remove any lingering residue.

Tips

Set a door mat by the door to prevent tracking in rock salt. This method is also very helpful in getting rock salt stains out of car upholstery as well.
