Your deicer salt is likely potassium chloride. Potassium chloride draws moisture from the air, why it always feels damp.
Scrape it up, wash it down a bit with clear water. Soak up the salt saturated water with portland cement, shop floor dry, sawdust, cat litter, depending on availability or aesthetic tolerance.
Good part is salt saturated wood is unlikey to rot. Not something to spend any energy worrying about.
