How long do area rugs last\u2014and how do you know when it&#8217;s time to replace yours? Keep reading to find out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-do-rugs-last\">How long do rugs last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lifespan of a rug depends on a lot of factors, such as its quality, your lifestyle, where it is in your home, and the level of care it receives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rugs that are located in areas of your home that get a lot of foot traffic (e.g., the living room and the entrance area) will need to be replaced sooner than a rug in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/guest-room-ideas-for-a-great-nights-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guest room<\/a> or even your bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, if you have kids or pets, then the lifespan of your rug will be shorter than if you\u2019re a couple or a single professional living alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even a high-quality rug that receives regular care and not a lot of foot traffic won\u2019t last forever.&nbsp;On average, you can expect a good quality bedroom rug to last you about five to 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-to-replace-your-bedroom-rug\">When to replace your bedroom rug<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your bedroom rug will basically tell you when its time has run out. Here are a few signs to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stains that won\u2019t come off.&nbsp;<\/strong>Stains are an inevitable part of owning a rug. It&#8217;s especially true if you have kids, pets, or friends whom you like to invite for board game nights. Someone leans towards the coffee table to place their card and tips over their wine glass onto the rug.&nbsp;The good news is that stains&nbsp;aren&#8217;t the end of the world (and they\u2019re not a good reason not to have board game nights). Most stains can be taken care of with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/spring-cleaning-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proper cleaning supplies<\/a>. The bad news is that over time, no matter how well you take care of them, stains will still affect the look of your rug. When your rug accumulates unsightly stains that can\u2019t be removed anymore, then it may be time to let it go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A lingering odor.\u00a0<\/strong>If you start noticing an unpleasant smell coming from your rug, even after cleaning, then it\u2019s time to get rid of it. Especially if that smell is due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/mold-in-a-mattress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mold<\/a>, this rug can be a health hazard and should be replaced as soon as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visible wear and tear.&nbsp;<\/strong>Eventually, any rug will wear out. It&#8217;ll happen first to rugs that are located in the living room or at the entrance because these areas get a lot of foot traffic. A bedroom rug will last a little longer. But when you notice that the edges of the rug start to fray, or the binding starts to come undone, or the colors fade, then that\u2019s your rug telling you it wants to retire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It won\u2019t lay flat.&nbsp;<\/strong>Area rugs are designed to lay flat, but due to wear and tear and exposure to moisture, the edges of your rug might start curing up over time. When that happens, it\u2019s not only unsightly but also creates a tripping hazard. The best solution is to get a new rug.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s older than your teenager.&nbsp;<\/strong>If you have memories of your now hairy teenager learning to crawl on that rug, then it\u2019s probably time to replace it. A good rug can last you 10 years, but more than that would be a stretch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It no longer fits your lifestyle.&nbsp;<\/strong>Sometimes changes just happen. Maybe you\u2019ve moved or simply decided to upgrade your style so that the rug just&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/what-is-the-best-size-rug-for-a-bedroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">doesn\u2019t fit<\/a>&nbsp;your life anymore. Remember, your rug is there to make you happy and to make your home cozy. If it doesn\u2019t do any of these anymore, then it\u2019s time to replace it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-your-bedroom-rug-last-longer\">How to make your bedroom rug last longer &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are steps you can take to make sure your bedroom rug lasts as long as possible. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-wear-shoes-on-your-rug\"><strong>Don\u2019t wear shoes on your rug<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoes bring dirt and debris from the outside and will increase the wear and tear of the rug. It&#8217;s best to take them off before you step on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-clean-your-rug-regularly\"><strong>Clean your rug regularly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum your rug\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-rug\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regularly<\/a>\u00a0(or clean it according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions). Doing this regularly will prevent the accumulation of dirt and allergens. It\u2019s also a good idea to shake your rug outside before cleaning to help get rid of any debris.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-care-of-stains-as-soon-as-possible\"><strong>Take care of stains as soon as possible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you see a stain, take care of it as soon as you can. Blot it out first and then clean the area with mild soap and cold water. Finally, blot it dry with a clean, absorbent towel. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. You can also use vinegar diluted with water or any other gentle cleaning product that doesn\u2019t damage the fibers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do these things, then your rug will thank you and will ideally last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"saatva-product-slider bg-fuscous-gray text-white\">\n            <p class=\"bg-makara p-4 text-center\">Get a stylish new bedroom rug at Saatva<\/p>\n    \n            <div\n            class=\"focus:!outline-0\"\n            data-flickity=\"{&quot;wrapAround&quot;:true,&quot;pageDots&quot;:true,&quot;adaptiveHeight&quot;:true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;:false,&quot;autoPlay&quot;:5000}\"\n        >\n                            \n                <div>\n                    <a\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/furniture\/adamas-bedroom-rug\"\n                        class=\"block\"\n                    >\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/adamas-rug-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"w-full aspect-video object-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"saatva adamas rug\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/adamas-rug-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/adamas-rug-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/adamas-rug-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/adamas-rug-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/adamas-rug.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n                    <\/a>\n\n                    <div\n                        class=\"rich-text-level p-8 lg:text-base\"\n                        style=\"--spacing-rhythm: 0.75em\"\n                    >\n                        <h4>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/furniture\/adamas-bedroom-rug\">Adamas Rug<\/a>\n                        <\/h4>\n\n                        \n<p>The subtle yet captivating diamond trellis pattern on the Adamas flatweave wool area rug imbues a distinct elegance to any bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n                        <p>\n                            <a\n                                href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/furniture\/adamas-bedroom-rug\"\n                                class=\"btn\"\n                            >\n                                Shop Now\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                            \n                <div>\n                    <a\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/furniture\/terna-bedroom-rug\"\n                        class=\"block\"\n                    >\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/terna-rug-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"w-full aspect-video object-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"saatva terna rug\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/terna-rug-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/terna-rug-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/terna-rug-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/terna-rug-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/terna-rug.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n                    <\/a>\n\n                    <div\n                        class=\"rich-text-level p-8 lg:text-base\"\n                        style=\"--spacing-rhythm: 0.75em\"\n                    >\n                        <h4>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/furniture\/terna-bedroom-rug\">Terna Rug<\/a>\n                        <\/h4>\n\n                        \n<p>The lively geometric pattern on our Terna rug adds interest to any contemporary space.
