Aurora Black Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Covered patios and sunny entryways put rugs through cycles of UV exposure, rain runoff and tracked-in mud -- and not every fiber holds up. The Aurora Black Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug uses UV-stabilized polyester in a flat weave that resists fading and dries quickly after a storm or hose-down. This machine-washable outdoor rug with non-skid backing is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Eight sizes from runner to 10 ft. x 14 ft. handle any footprint.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade in Full Sun?

UV stabilization treats the polyester fibers to resist color breakdown when light hits the rug hour after hour on a south-facing patio or sunroom. You'll see far less bleaching or yellowing than untreated polyester or natural-fiber rugs left outdoors. Black hides dirt between cleanings and shows fade slower than lighter colors. Flat weave construction with an ultra-thin profile means water runs through instead of pooling, so the rug dries fast after rain and won't trap moisture that leads to mildew.

How Do You Clean a Machine-Washable Outdoor Rug?

Toss smaller sizes in the washing machine on cold with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry -- never put it in the dryer, because heat can damage the backing. For larger formats or quick outdoor cleaning, hose the rug off on the driveway and let it air-dry in the sun. Stain-resistant polyester sheds spills and muddy paw prints easier than wool or cotton, so you're cleaning less often. The non-skid backing stays put on tile, hardwood and concrete during vacuuming and daily traffic.

Where Does a Flat-Weave Polyester Rug Work Best?

Position the 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. size under a dining table on a covered patio, leaving 24 inches of clearance so chairs slide without catching an edge. The 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. runner fits entryways and mudrooms where wet shoes and pet traffic demand easy cleanup, and the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. size anchors a seating cluster with outdoor accent chairs on a deck. Pair this modern plaid pattern with neutral cushions from the outdoor accessories collection, or layer it over another rug indoors for added texture. Browse the full outdoor rug range to compare pile heights and weave styles, and add weather-resistant focal points with pieces from the outdoor wall art collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- flat weave polyester drains water instead of holding it, so the rug dries quickly after rain or a hose rinse.

Can this stay outside all year?

UV stabilization and quick-dry construction let the rug stay on a covered patio year-round, though rolling it up for winter storage extends its life in harsh climates.

Will the black color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization resists fading far better than untreated polyester, and black shows color loss slower than lighter shades.

How do I store it over winter?

Hose it clean, let it dry completely, roll it loosely and store it in a dry shed or garage to avoid mildew during freeze-thaw cycles.

What size works under a dining table outdoors?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. size gives 24 inches of clearance around the table so chairs slide freely.

Does LOOMLAN Outdoor offer free delivery?

Yes, free standard curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order.
