The lifespan of a rug depends a lot on how well you take care of it.
Vacuuming
Vacuuming often goes a long way. If you have a rug with a long pile, turn it upside down from time to time to get rid of dust and dirt that the vacuum cleaner has missed or can’t reach. Use the flat nozzle, not the brush, and vacuum at low power. Also vacuum the underside from time to time – and if the rug has piles, finish by vacuuming in the direction that the piles lie.
Dry stains should be scraped gently towards the centre of the stain. Wet stains should not be rubbed, soak up the stain with paper towels or a damp white cloth before the stain penetrates too deep into the rug. Good tip: if you have small children, you can place one KOLON floor protector under the highchair that is easy to wipe dry.

Flip and rotate the rug to keep it fresh for longer
Many rugs are the same on both sides, which means you can turn them over at regular intervals. Rotate the rug at regular intervals to reduce the risk of uneven wear and uneven bleaching by the sun.

Contact a professional dry cleaner
Most rugs, especially if they are made of natural materials like wool or cotton, are happiest and last longer if they are not washed too often. A handmade or larger rug that is extra dirty should be washed by a professional dry cleaner.
