Technician’s Choice TEC99422 Salt Stain Remover is specifically engineered to tackle stubborn salt deposits that accumulate on carpets, mats, and fabric surfaces. Designed for ease of use and professional-grade performance, TEC99422 lifts and dissolves salt residue quickly, restoring fabrics to their original appearance.
This VOC/OTC compliant aerosol product is formulated to break down the crystallized structure of salt stains that embed deep into carpet fibers and upholstery. The inclusion of a built-in brush applicator helps to mechanically agitate and loosen salt particles for thorough cleaning without the need for additional tools. Its fast-acting formula works on both automotive interiors and household fabrics, making it a versatile choice for vehicle owners and detailers alike.
Unlike generic cleaners that only address surface contamination, TEC99422 penetrates deeper to effectively neutralize salt’s corrosive effects. Regular use can help prevent permanent staining and deterioration of fabric surfaces, extending the life and appearance of vehicle interiors. This product is not for sale in California due to state-specific VOC regulations.
