Delaura Fern Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester handles direct sun, rain, and the mess that comes with outdoor living -- this rug dries in under two hours and goes straight into a washing machine when spills or muddy paws leave their mark. The Delaura Fern Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug, a flat weave polyester rug available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, resists fading and staining without the replacement cycle most textiles demand after one season. Non-skid latex backing grips tile, hardwood, and concrete without shifting, and the 0.1-inch pile lets air circulate so you're not waiting days for it to dry after a storm.

Will Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain on a Patio?

UV-stabilized polyester resists sun bleaching through five-plus years of direct exposure, so the fern tones and distressed border don't wash out by July. The flat weave construction repels moisture instead of absorbing it -- water beads on the surface for immediate blotting or a quick hose-off, and the ultra-thin profile allows full air circulation so the rug dries in under two hours even after a downpour. Polyester fibers don't rot, mildew, or fray when wet, which is why this material dominates high-traffic outdoor spaces where natural fibers would disintegrate. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor rugs collection or layer under outdoor accent chairs for cohesive patio zones.

Can You Actually Wash This in a Machine?

Yes -- cold water cycle and mild detergent restore the original appearance in about thirty minutes, then air-dry it flat or draped over a railing. Never use a dryer; heat damages polyester fibers and melts latex backing. The stain-resistant weave means most spills sit on the surface long enough to blot before they set, so you're washing for maintenance rather than emergency recovery. This is the rug you want under a dining table on a covered porch or in a mudroom where wet boots and dog paws are daily occurrences.

How Do You Keep It From Sliding on Tile or Hardwood?

Non-skid latex backing grips smooth surfaces without adhesive or separate rug pads, so the rug stays put when chairs slide or dogs sprint across it. The flat weave profile -- just 0.1 inch tall -- means there's no thick edge to trip over, and it lies flush under doors. If you're layering it on a deck or concrete patio, the backing prevents bunching in wind. Use the runner sizes (2'3" x 7'6") in hallways or galley kitchens, or anchor entryways with the 3' x 5' accent size. For full outdoor accessory groupings or living room furniture arrangements, the 8' x 10', 9' x 12', and 10' x 14' sizes extend eighteen inches beyond furniture legs to define the zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester repels moisture and dries in under two hours, so rain and hose spray won't damage it.

How do I clean a machine washable outdoor rug?

Use a cold water cycle with mild detergent, then air-dry flat or over a railing. Never use heat or a dryer.

Can this stay outside all year?

UV-stabilized polyester resists sun and rain year-round, but freezing moisture in the backing can cause cracking -- bring it in during hard freezes or store it rolled in a dry space for winter.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization resists fading through five-plus years of direct exposure, so the fern tones and distressed pattern hold up far longer than untreated synthetic or natural fiber rugs.

What's the best size for a dining table on a covered porch?

The 8' x 10' size fits most six-seat tables with room for chairs to slide, while the 9' x 12' works for eight-seat arrangements or open-concept patios.

Is white-glove delivery or assembly included?

Standard curbside delivery is free to the continental USA. In-room placement, setup, and assembly are optional paid services available upon request for an additional fee.
