Cassiva Pink Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester keeps pink from fading into washed-out coral after a season under a pergola or in a sunroom, and the flat-weave construction dries fast after a rainstorm or a hose-down. The Cassiva Pink Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, fits beneath patio doors without binding and stays put on wet tile thanks to non-skid backing. Toss the whole rug in a standard washer on cold when it needs more than a quick shake-out.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Its Color on a Patio?

UV stabilizers bonded into the polyester fiber resist the breakdown direct sun causes -- the kind that turns bright fabric chalky by August. You'll see the abstract pink pattern fade slower on a south-facing balcony or poolside deck than untreated synthetic weaves would allow. Polyester also sheds moisture instead of holding it, so mildew doesn't get the damp foothold natural fibers offer. Expect the color to soften slightly over a few years outdoors, but not the fast bleaching cotton or jute rugs show after one summer.

How Do I Clean an Outdoor Rug?

Shake it out weekly to knock loose dirt and pollen off the flat weave. For spills or tracked-in mud, hose the rug down outdoors and let it air-dry in under an hour -- polyester doesn't hold water the way wool or cotton does. When it needs a deeper clean, machine wash on cold with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry completely before you put it back down. Never use bleach, and skip the dryer -- air-drying preserves the non-skid backing and keeps the weave from pilling.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

The rug handles rain and sun without delaminating, but most non-skid backings crack faster when they freeze and thaw repeatedly. If you're in a climate where temperatures drop below freezing for weeks at a time, roll it up and store it in a dry garage or shed after fall. In mild-winter zones where frost is rare, you can leave it on a covered porch all year -- just hose off leaf debris and let it dry between storms so mildew doesn't start in the pile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester dries in under an hour after a rainstorm or hose rinse, and the non-skid backing grips tile and concrete even when damp.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

UV stabilizers slow fading, but expect gradual color softening over a few seasons if the rug sits in full sun all day.

How do I store it over winter?

Hose it clean, let it dry completely, then roll it and store it in a dry space to protect the non-skid backing from freeze-thaw damage.

Which size works under a dining table?

Choose 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. for six to eight chairs, leaving at least 24 inches of clearance on all sides so chairs pull out onto the rug.

Does the ultra-thin profile fit under doors?

Yes -- the flat weave slides beneath entry and closet doors without binding hinges or creating a trip edge.

Is shipping or assembly included?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA is included; no assembly is required -- unroll and position the rug where you want it.
