The Thanksgiving guests (and the leftovers) are gone. Get some tips for the carpet stains they left behind.

No one likes it when there is a spill on the floor, but with the help of Cinderella Carpet One in Salinas and San Luis Obispo, it can be cleaned before becoming a permanent part of the carpet. The information listed below and on our floor maintenance page of our website will prepare you to properly deal with spills and keep your carpet clean for years to come.

Tip #1 - Keep your eye out for spills and take care of them in a quick manner to keep your carpet clean.  Simply using water on a spill will help most of them. 

Tip #2 - If 
water doesn't work, simply expand your search.  You'll find numerous products on the market that can help you get rid of spills quick.  Most importantly, please consult your specific warranty for detailed cleaning instructions. Some manufacturers have precise warranty flooring maintenance requirements.                                                                                                                                                      

Tip #3 - Always try the cleaning product in a closet or somewhere less noticeable to be sure it won't discolor the carpet.                                                                                                                                                     

Tip #4 - Always blot the stain up, don't rub. If there's a lot of liquid or the stain seems to keep coming back use a thick towel and a weight of some kind to allow the stain to soak up into the towel. 

Tip #5 - You should vacuum your carpet immediately after a holiday gathering to avoid the food crumbs from sticking to your carpet and turning it into mold and bacteria. Go over the most trafficked carpet areas in several directions to allow the vacuum time to pick up all it can.  High quality vacuums are the best choice, as they get up the most debris, food crumbs, pet dander and soil and are better for extending the life of your carpet.

Maintaining and keeping a clean carpet is more than just healthy, as it can also help to prolong the life of your carpet.  If you have just laid the carpet, you are already aware of the expenses involved with doing so.  Take a minute to check out the spot solver that will properly help you deal with spills before they become a permanent part of your carpet.

A clean carpet will add value to your home if it is maintained well.   Keeping your home free from molds and odors will help to make a comfortable living area for your friends and your family. And lastly, having these carpet cleaning tips in mind, your clean carpet will always look ready for another holiday party.

If you have additional questions regarding the maintenance of your floorcovering,  please do not hesitate to contact our store in Salinas or San Luis Obispo and we will be glad to assist you.

Happy Holidays! 

A THANKSGIVING MOMENT

Happy Thanksgiving from Cinderella Carpet One in Salinas and San Luis Obispo

This is a short week coming up so we wanted to make sure we sent out our Thanksgiving wishes today!  We are so thankful to all our valued customers,  and our followers on Facebook and Twitter.  We are also thankful for all our employees in Salinas and San Luis Obispo that have made our stores a success over our 45 year history.

I hope your Thanksgiving is a bouquet of Roses this year and that you have time to enjoy every second with your friends and family.  Thanksgiving is about being thankful and we hope this video (in a very humorous way) reminds us all to be thankful as we head into the hectic holiday season.

You still have time to put your request into Santa for new floors for your home. Don’t be shy!

Thanksgiving’s arrival signals the start of colder temperatures, shorter days and for many people—pre-holiday panic!  The holidays will be here before you know it, and with them, holiday guests knocking at your door. You want your home to look its best when family and friends arrive.   Cinderella Carpet One in Salinas and San Luis Obispo can give you those beautiful floors for the holidays!

THE KITCHEN

The kitchen floor always takes a beating so it might deserve the bulk of your attention.  Choose kitchen flooring that matches your priorities--durability, sustainability, low maintenance, or an open floor plan.

Choosing flooring for your kitchen-remodeling project is a critical design decision, one that unites all the elements of your kitchen. Not only that, kitchen flooring must perform extremely well, providing low maintenance, durability, and good looks without breaking your budget. With so many flooring options available, how can you be sure you're getting a product that provides the right combination of price and style-one that will provide years of satisfaction? Weigh the options based on your lifestyle and how you'll use your kitchen.

THE LIVING ROOM

The showcase of your home is usually the living room.  Most people put the majority of their decorations in the living room since it’s usually the first place the guests enter.  Don’t forget to look down.  If your carpet is badly stained or worn, new carpet or hardwood is definitely in order.  This new flooring could be the ideal foundation for all your Christmas decorations.

THE BATHROOM

Next to the kitchen, the bathroom will get the largest amount of traffic during the holidays.  If it needs new flooring, this is one room where it will cost the least to get the most since bathrooms usually have low square footage.

When choosing the right flooring for a bathroom, there's more to keep in mind than personal style. Some very specific factors come into play: Is your flooring, for instance, impervious to water? Will it stain easily when makeup takes a spill? Is it safe when walking across with wet feet?

There is no better time than now to get your home ready for the holidays.  Stop by our showroom in Salinas or San Luis Obispo  and pick out the flooring you want to make your home look its best.  Remember, we offer FREE in-home measurements so call or email us today.
