Caelara Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester keeps this flat weave rug from fading through full sun on uncovered decks and patios, and the non-skid latex backing grips wet tile without sliding. The Caelara Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in abstract watercolor teal is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can hose it off after rain or throw it in the washing machine when spills happen -- the 0.1-inch profile dries fast either way.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Its Color Outside?

Yes -- UV stabilization treats the polyester fibers so they resist fading through direct sunlight, which matters most on patios and decks that get afternoon sun. The teal stays vibrant through summer UV exposure, and the synthetic construction repels moisture instead of soaking it up like natural fiber rugs do. Polyester also resists mildew in humid climates because water doesn't penetrate the fiber. It's engineered for year-round placement where rain and sun hit the same surface.

Can You Actually Machine Wash This, or Just Hose It?

Both work -- the flat weave construction and polyester fibers are built for machine laundering, so you can wash it cold on gentle cycle with mild detergent when dirt builds up. For quicker cleaning after pollen or light mud, hosing it off outdoors works fine because the ultra-thin profile lets water drain through and evaporate in a few hours. Always lay flat or hang to dry -- never put it in the dryer, because heat damages the non-skid latex backing.

Where Does an Ultra-Thin Outdoor Rug Work Best?

The 0.1-inch pile sits flat under furniture without catching on chair legs, so it works well under outdoor accent chairs and dining sets on covered patios or screened porches. Indoors, it handles high-traffic entryways and kitchens where you need something that won't bunch up or trap dirt. The non-skid backing grips tile, wood, and concrete without a rug pad, which cuts down on trip hazards near doorways. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accessories collection to pull the teal through the whole space, or layer it over existing tile to add color without permanent changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester repels moisture and dries quickly after rain or hosing, and the flat weave construction lets water drain straight through instead of pooling on top.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it off outdoors for quick cleaning, or machine wash cold on gentle cycle with mild detergent and lay flat to dry when deeper cleaning is needed.

Will the teal fade in direct sun?

No -- UV-stabilized polyester resists color fade through full sun exposure, so the teal stays vibrant on patios and decks that get afternoon sunlight.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle rain and sun year-round, but freezing temperatures can damage the latex backing over time, so it's best to bring it in or cover it during prolonged winter cold.

Does the backing need a rug pad?

No -- the non-skid latex backing grips smooth floors without additional pads, which works well on tile, wood, and concrete surfaces.

What size should I get for under a dining table?

Measure at least 12 inches beyond the table edge on all sides so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out -- an 8' x 10' fits most four- to six-seat tables.
