Question:Apparently getting it wet or scrubbing it with a brush make the run wear quickly and fall apart.
Answers:
Most woven rugs can be cleaned at home - although not all can be cleaned with water. These instructions apply to all types of woven rugs, except those made from natural fibers such as sisal, coir and hemp. However, it's best to check for and follow any instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Jute don't last too long, like a baggie. Use one time, throw away. Not very cost effective.
