Charix Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Wet spills and muddy paws wreck most patio rugs in a single season, but this polyester flat weave bounces back season after season under direct sun and rain. The Charix Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can hose it clean on the deck or throw it in the washing machine -- it dries fast and the color stays put.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outdoors?

UV stabilization keeps the teal color from washing out under full sun on a south-facing porch or patio. The polyester fibers resist moisture without mildewing, so the rug sheds rain and dries quickly after storms. Stain-resistant construction repels pet accidents, wine spills, and tracked-in mud without permanent marking. You'll see the same color saturation in year three that you saw when you first rolled it out, as long as the rug sits under a covered area or you bring it in during the wettest months.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it out on a covered patio through mild winters, but the non-skid backing lasts longer if you store the rug indoors when temperatures drop below freezing for weeks at a time. Before storing, machine wash it in cold water with mild detergent, then lay it flat or hang it to dry completely -- damp polyester can develop odors in a closed garage or shed. If you keep it outside year-round, hose it down and let it air-dry after heavy snow or ice melt to prevent debris buildup in the flat weave.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The ultra-thin profile slips under low-clearance doors and furniture legs without bunching, so it works well under outdoor accent chairs or inside screened porches where you want a finished look that doesn't trap leaves. The 8 ft. by 10 ft. size centers under a full outdoor seating group, while the 2 ft. 3 in. by 7 ft. 6 in. runner fits along a galley deck or in front of patio doors. Pair the teal half-pattern with natural wood or white resin furniture for a coastal vibe, and check out our outdoor rug collection if you need multiple sizes to define separate zones on a large patio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this polyester flat weave sheds water and dries quickly after rain or hose cleaning. The non-skid backing stays secure even when damp.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it down outdoors and let it air-dry, or machine wash in cold water with mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Never put it in the dryer -- air drying preserves the non-skid backing.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can remain on a covered patio through mild winters, but store it indoors if you face extended freezing temperatures or heavy snow to protect the backing.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

The polyester is UV stabilized to resist fading in full sun, though covered placement extends the life of any outdoor rug.

Does the ultra-thin profile work under furniture?

Yes -- at 0.08 inches thick, it fits under doors and chair legs without creating a trip edge or blocking furniture movement.

What size rug do I need under a dining table?

The 5 ft. by 7 ft. 6 in. or 8 ft. by 10 ft. sizes leave room for chairs to pull out without catching on the rug edge. Measure your table with chairs extended, then add two feet on each side.
