yeah clean it off with hot water. it is growing due to salt being there and attracting all moisture (as salt does..you know like salting meat) clean it well with water and dry well it should stopp for a while until saltwater collects there again ...evaporates...and leaves just salt in the area and thus a collection for creep to form from moisture.
