Athena Brown Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester handles full sun on west-facing patios without the color washing out after a season, and the flat weave dries in two to three hours after you hose it down or run it through a cold-water wash. The Athena Brown Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug with horizontal swirl pattern is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The non-skid latex backing grips tile, wood, and concrete so the rug stays put under foot traffic.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade on a Sunny Deck?

The polyester fibers are treated with UV stabilizers that block the wavelengths that break down color, so years of direct sun on a covered patio or open deck won't bleach the brown tone. Polyester also resists moisture -- rain and poolside splashes don't soak into the weave the way natural fibers do, and the ultra-thin flat construction lets air circulate underneath so the rug doesn't hold dampness. Pet accidents and food spills wipe clean without leaving stains, which matters when you're using the same rug indoors and out.

Can You Just Throw This in the Washing Machine?

Yes -- machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then lay it flat or hang it to dry. The flat weave and quick-drying polyester mean it's ready to go back down in a couple of hours, no professional cleaning required. Don't put it in the dryer -- heat can damage the latex backing and warp the fibers. For outdoor dirt between washes, hose it off and let it air dry on the deck.

Where Does an Ultra-Thin Rug Work Best Outdoors?

The 3 ft. x 5 ft. size fits under bistro tables or in front of an outdoor kitchen prep zone, while the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. anchors a dining table that seats six. The 8 ft. x 10 ft. and 9 ft. x 12 ft. options center furniture groups on covered patios with room to spare, and the 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. runner works along the length of a narrow deck or poolside walkway. The brown swirl pattern pairs with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection and complements teak or wicker from our outdoor rugs section. Add outdoor accessories and weather-resistant wall art to finish the setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this polyester rug dries in two to three hours after rain or hosing, and the flat weave doesn't trap water underneath.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it down for light dirt, or machine wash cold with mild detergent on a gentle cycle and air dry flat.

Can this stay outside all year?

The UV stabilization and polyester construction handle sun and moisture year-round, though storing it indoors over winter extends its life in heavy-snow climates.

Will the brown color fade in direct sun?

No -- the UV-stabilized fibers resist fading even on west-facing decks that get afternoon sun.

What size rug goes under an outdoor dining table?

Use the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. for tables that seat six, or the 8 ft. x 10 ft. for eight chairs with room to pull them out without catching the edge.
