Get this little thing made by Bissell called the Little Green or something like that. It's a portable steam cleaner and it will get that salt out without much work. I have one and I have detailed many car interiors with dried salt in there.

It's about $90 and worth every penny. It also works wonders on upholstery in general. Steam cleaning takes out stains. The hot water is needed.

Make sure to get the cleaning solution made for the Little Green.

Also, get a couple of brushes: a soft brush for seats and a slightly stiffer brush for the floors.

1. wet rag
2. place wet rag on offending salt marks
3. Go play Burnout Paradise on the PS3 for a couple hours
4. Remove wet rag and scrub with another wet rag.
