You can, but it is not really ever cost effective to do so. A good rug pad has a lifespan of about 5 years. By the time it needs cleaning, it probably will no longer have its non-skid properties and not be worth cleaning anyway. Also, cleaning a rug pad is usually more expensive than just replacing it.

How to Decide on Rug Pads?
When you put down a rug, you want it to stay in place. Without rug pads, a rug is likely to wrinkle, slide around, and otherwise be difficult to use because it will not stay in place. It is important to do everything that you can in order to ensure that the rug will stay in good condition for many years to come. If you are not using the right kind of rug pads, however, you might end up with damage, wear and tear that you otherwise would not have had to face. A rug pad not only adds protection, it actually makes the rug more comfortable as well. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when you are deciding on rug pads. Make sure that you choose a form of padding that will be resistant against slipping. If the rug is being placed down on linoleum or a wood floor, it is likely to slip and wrinkle. A rug pad helps to reduce this problem. Choose a pad that is built to resist this issue. A rug pad can also add comfort to a run. A high quality rug pad with be thick and add more cushioning to the floor. If you walk on a plush run with a thick padding, it is like walking in heaven. The next thing you need to determine is the type of padding. Make sure that you pick something suited to the environment. An outdoor rug calls for a waffle pad. This type of pad is very thin, however, and should not be used indoors. There are all-surface rug pads that you can use. These provide some cushioning and prevent wrinkling from occurring. They do not provide as much cushioning as some of the other choices, but they are resistant to damage from a great deal of foot traffic. Finally, pricing is of course an important factor. The prices of rug pads can vary quite drastically. Outdoor padding can cost about nine dollars a yard, and indoor padding can cost as much as fourteen dollars. Take your budget and your situation into account before rushing into any decisions you might regret.

Does a rug pad really extend the life of your area rug?
Yes. As rugs are walked on, they are ground into the hard floor which makes the rug wear faster, especially in areas of high traffic. In a good quality rug, you may not notice the difference in a rug that has had a pad and a rug that hasn't until they are 50+ years old. In older rugs and in flat-weave rugs, the difference will be seen much sooner. When shopping for a pad, get something that is thick and rubber on one side and rough wool on the other. Opt for purchasing rug pad from a rug store as opposed to a linens or hardware store, as this will actually promote better wear. The other pads are usually just to prevent skidding.
