UV-stabilized polyester stops color fade in direct sun, and the flat weave dries in hours after a downpour or hose-down. The Elara Brown Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing grips tile, concrete, and wood decks without a separate pad, and standard cold-water machine washing removes mud, pet stains, and pollen.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade in Full Sun?

Polyester treated with UV stabilizers resists the photodegradation that bleaches untreated synthetics within one season. This rug holds its brown medallion pattern through summers of unshaded patio exposure, maintaining color for three to five years outdoors. The flat weave construction also sheds moisture quickly, so rain and humidity won't promote mildew in the fibers or backing. UV stabilization doesn't make the rug immortal -- eventually all outdoor textiles lighten -- but it dramatically slows the process compared to cotton or non-treated polyester.

Can I Throw This in the Washing Machine?

Yes, if your machine fits the size you've chosen. Use cold water, mild detergent, and the gentle cycle, then hang to dry or lay flat -- never put it in the dryer, because heat can warp the backing and shrink polyester. The ultra-thin profile dries in four to six hours when air-dried, so you can wash it in the morning and have it back on the deck by evening. Most homeowners machine-wash seasonal outdoor rugs twice a year; if you have pets or the rug sits in an entryway, you'll wash more often, and this polyester holds up through fifty-plus cycles.

Where Does This Rug Work Best Outside?

The 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. and 8 ft. x 10 ft. sizes center dining sets on covered patios, with at least two feet of clearance around pulled-out chairs. Runners (2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in.) define narrow covered porches and hallways, while the 9 ft. x 12 ft. format anchors sectional groupings under pergolas or large umbrellas. Pair it with pieces from our [outdoor accent chairs](/collections/outdoor-accent-chairs) and [outdoor accessories](/collections/outdoor-accessories) collections, or layer a smaller size over hardscape in a seating area. The brown medallion coordinates with teak, all-weather wicker, and powder-coated aluminum frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this flat weave polyester dries in hours after rain or hosing, and the UV-stabilized fibers won't rot from moisture.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Shake or vacuum loose debris, then machine wash on cold gentle cycle with mild detergent and air-dry. Spot-clean stains with soap and water between washes.

Can this stay outside all year?

In covered areas, yes; in open exposure to snow and ice, roll it up for winter to extend its lifespan and prevent the backing from cracking in freeze-thaw cycles.

Will the brown color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization slows fading significantly, so the rug retains color for three to five outdoor seasons under full sun.

Does the non-skid backing work on a wood deck?

Yes, it grips wood, tile, and concrete without a separate pad.

Is shipping included?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove or in-room placement is available upon request for an additional fee.
