My new Accord came with mats just like the Honda mats i put in my Civic. In my Civic the driver's side mat was worn and dirty beyond cleaning. I don't want this to happen to my accord's driver side mat, and as far as i know i'd have to buy the whole set to replace just the driver's side, so regular replacement is not an option.

I can't imagine any real solution, but in case i'm missing something does anyone have any ideas how to keep it like new short of using a rubber mat? And yes, i know about regular cleaning and all that, but i haven't got the time to be cleaning it every few days.
