That's why you guys have to invest in some winter floor mats [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] I picked some up at Crappy Tire for like 25 bux! 
Anyways, I've never heard of salt staining the carpet but I guess it could happen. Try washing the carpet with warm/hot water and use a mild detergent like Tide or any other laundry soap you have lying around. That should do the trick. If it still smells afterwards, Febreeze that bad boy! [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
