Alina Red Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds color through full sun exposure and rapid wet-dry cycles on patios and decks. The Alina Red Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug features flat weave polyester construction with non-skid backing, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Seven sizes cover entryways through full-room layouts, all with the same machine-washable durability.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization locks pigment into the fiber itself, so the red won't bleach to pink under summer sun the way untreated synthetics do. Polyester sheds moisture instead of absorbing it -- hose it down or let a storm pass, and the ultra-thin 0.1-inch profile dries in hours rather than days. That fast drying matters: standing water breeds mildew, and a thick-pile rug stays damp long enough to smell. Flat weave construction with this material resists fading, mildew, and warping across 5-7 years of outdoor use.

Can You Really Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes -- toss it in a standard washer on cold with mild detergent and a gentle cycle. The latex-free backing won't degrade in the drum, and polyester fibers release stains that would set permanently in wool or jute. Lay flat or hang to dry; never use bleach or put it in the dryer, because high heat shrinks fibers and cracks backing. For quick cleanups between washes, hose off the rug and let it air-dry on a patio railing. Machine washing every few months keeps the geometric web pattern looking sharp even with pet traffic.

Where Does This Work Best Indoors and Out?

The 5' x 7'6" sits under coffee tables or covered patio seating, while the 8' x 10' and 9' x 12' sizes extend 24 inches beyond dining table edges so chairs roll freely. Runners like the 2'3" x 7'6" suit hallways and mudrooms where pets track in dirt. Use the 10' x 14' for large family rooms or open patios where you want full furniture placement on one surface. Pair this rug with pieces from our [outdoor accent chairs](/collections/outdoor-accent-chairs) or browse the full [outdoor rugs](/collections/outdoor-rug) collection for complementary sizes. The red geometric pattern grounds neutral teak and wicker without competing for attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester sheds water, and the ultra-thin profile dries in hours after rain or hosing off. Mildew won't develop if you let it air out between storms.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then air dry flat or hanging. For spot cleaning, hose it down and scrub with a soft brush.

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, UV-stabilized polyester handles sun and rain year-round. In regions with heavy snow, rolling it up for winter extends its lifespan, though it's not required.

Will the red color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization prevents fading through multiple summers of full sun exposure. The pigment is locked into the fiber, not just surface-dyed.

Does the non-skid backing require a separate rug pad?

No -- latex-free backing grips smooth floors and deck boards on its own, reducing trip hazards without extra padding.

What's included with free shipping?

Free standard curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove services like in-room placement are available upon request for an additional fee.
