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.

Happy Holidays!
