Storm Surge Cleanup: Why Salts Gone is Essential for Restoring Your Property
Hurricanes leave devastation in their wake, from flooding and wind damage to the less noticeable but equally harmful issue of salt contamination. When salty floodwaters and sea spray infiltrate homes, vehicles, and landscapes, they can wreak havoc if not addressed quickly. While many homeowners focus on visible damage, salt residue can linger and cause long-term deterioration to structures, vehicles, and plants.
That’s where Salts Gone® steps in as a critical component of your post-hurricane cleanup strategy.
Understanding the Threat of Salt Contamination
When floodwaters recede, the salt that remains can be highly corrosive. It can:
1. Corrode metal surfaces: Vehicles, tools, and outdoor furniture made of metal are especially vulnerable. Salt accelerates rust and corrosion, leading to expensive repairs or replacements.
2. Damage plants and soil: Salt inhibits plant growth and can make the soil less fertile, harming your garden or lawn long after the hurricane has passed.
3. Weaken concrete and brickwork: Over time, salt can seep into porous materials like concrete, stone, and brick, causing them to weaken and deteriorate.
4. Affect marine and recreational equipment Boats, jet skis, and other equipment stored outdoors are highly susceptible to salt exposure, leading to performance issues and equipment failure if not properly cleaned.
Why Salts Gone® Should Be Part of Your Cleanup
Salts Gone® is specially formulated to remove harmful salt residues from virtually any surface. Unlike simply rinsing with water, which can leave salt deposits behind, Salts Gone® works by neutralizing and removing salt at the chemical level, ensuring your property is truly clean and protected.

4. Prevents Future Corrosion
Not only does Salts Gone® remove existing salt deposits, but it also helps prevent future corrosion by creating a protective barrier. This is especially important for vehicles, tools, and outdoor furniture that will continue to face exposure to humid or salty conditions.
How to Use Salts Gone® After a Hurricane
1. Vehicles and Equipment: For cars, trucks, boats, and outdoor machinery, apply Salts Gone® generously with a spray bottle or hose attachment. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down the salt, then rinse with fresh water.
2. Outdoor Surfaces: Spray it on driveways, sidewalks, patios, and brickwork to eliminate salt that could weaken and crack these materials over time. It’s particularly useful for restoring your concrete surfaces to their pre-storm condition.
3. Gardens and Lawns: If your plants have been exposed to saltwater or sea spray, treat the soil with Salts Gone® to neutralize the salt before replanting or reseeding. This will help restore your garden’s natural balance and prevent further plant damage.
4. Marine Equipment: Boats, trailers, and recreational gear are all at risk after a hurricane. Use Salts Gone® to rinse down these items and prevent long-term corrosion from salt exposure.
