Our story

We got tired of fighting the same salt stains.

So working St. Paul detailers built a practical system for the mess Minnesota winters leave behind.

Built by a Detailer. Backed by Science. Made in Minnesota.

Every Minnesota winter, I watched the same thing happen. Customers pulled into our St. Paul shop with floor mats crusted white, carpets stiff with salt, and boots that had left a trail of damage behind them. Most products on the shelf could hide the problem for a few days. Very few actually solved it.

My name is Rayon King, and I’ve spent 10 years in auto detailing, most recently as the owner of SteamClean Auto Cleaning & Detailing in St. Paul. But my path to SaltMelt Pro started long before the detailing shop. My background is in science and chemistry, and I’m a Registered Sanitarian, a profession built on understanding how contaminants behave, how surfaces get clean, and how to do it safely. That training shapes how I look at every stain: not just what it is, but why it’s there and what will actually break it down.

Road salt is a chemistry problem. When it dries, it bonds into carpet fibers and leaves the white residue every Minnesotan knows too well. So I approached it like one. Working alongside a professional chemist, I developed and tested formulas in real detailing conditions, on real vehicles and real winter damage, until they did what I needed them to do. The result is two products that work as a team: the Salt Residue Remover dissolves the salt, and the Carpet & Mat Protectant helps keep it from coming back.

We kept it local from the start. SaltMelt Pro is formulated with ingredients from Minnesota chemical suppliers Hawkins and Harcros, and it’s bottled and labeled right here in Minnesota.

I built SaltMelt Pro for the people I see every day: commuters, parents, contractors, fleet operators, and anyone tired of winter winning. It’s made here, tested here, and proven on the toughest winters around.

This Stuff Works™. We made sure of it.
