From constant traffic to running kids and scampering pets, your carpet withstands a lot of wear and tear. Daily demands can break down the fibers and make the floor look older than it is. Luckily, the professional carpet cleaners at Moore's Carpet Specialists have a few simple tips to extend the lifespan and improve the appearance of the carpeting in your space. Based in Walton, KY, the company specializes in high-quality cleaning and repair solutions for rugs, carpets, and upholstered furniture.

Below, the area’s best professional carpet cleaners share three tips to keep your carpeting in good condition:

• Pretreat Areas With the Most Foot Traffic: Every time you walk over a carpet, dirt molecules, pet dander, and fur on the surface become embedded deeper in the fibers. You’ve probably noticed the areas with the most foot traffic don’t get as clean as the rest of the floor. Pretreating these areas with a detergent-and-water solution will help break down and dislodge the debris a regular cleaning can’t handle. Just spray the areas and let the mixture soak for up to 10 minutes before starting your regular cleaning routine. 
• Make Sure the Carpets Are Dry: After you wash the carpet, make sure it is dry before you walk on it or put furniture back. Although the floor might seem dry to the touch, the backing could still be damp. Letting the carpet air dry over days could lead to mildew and mold growth. Open the windows and use fans to speed up the process. 
• Remember to Blot: When you see a stain, your first reaction might be to take a brush and scrub away the spot. Scrubbing can actually do more harm than good, as rough bristles tear into fibers and leave fuzzy spots in the carpet. Instead, blot stains with a towel to keep the carpet intact. Start at the outer edge to prevent the stain from spreading.
