Elissar Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester handles full sun without fading, while the flat weave construction sheds rain and hose water fast enough to prevent mildew. The Elissar Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in a teal swirl pattern is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid rubber backing grips tile, hardwood, and concrete even when wet, so the rug stays put under foot traffic on covered patios or in high-traffic kitchens.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outside?

UV stabilization locks color into the polyester fibers so teal doesn't bleach to pale blue after a season in direct sun. Polyester itself resists moisture absorption, which is why the rug dries quickly after rain or cleaning and won't grow mildew the way natural fibers do. The flat weave lies thin against the floor, so water runs off instead of pooling in pile depth. You're looking at a rug that handles poolside splashes, afternoon thunderstorms, and full summer sun on a covered deck without the fade or rot problems cotton and jute bring to outdoor rugs.

Can You Really Wash This in a Home Machine?

Yes -- cold water, mild detergent, gentle cycle. The polyester and rubber backing both survive a standard wash without shrinking or delaminating. Air dry it flat or hang it over a porch rail; skip the dryer because heat can warp the non-skid backing. This matters for high-traffic zones like entryways and under outdoor accent chairs, where you're hosing off dirt or dealing with muddy paws every few weeks. No professional cleaning fees, no waiting days for it to come back.

Does It Need to Be Stored Over Winter?

If the rug stays under a covered patio or in a screened porch, it can remain out year-round -- polyester won't crack in cold and the rubber backing stays flexible down to freezing temps. For uncovered exposure to heavy snow and ice melt, roll it up and store it dry to extend the backing's life. A quick hose rinse before storage gets rid of any salt or grime that could stiffen the fibers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes. The polyester fibers shed water and dry quickly, and UV stabilization prevents sun damage when the rug's damp.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with mild detergent, then air dry flat or hanging. Spot-clean spills with water and mild soap between washes.

Will the teal color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization protects the color through seasons of sun exposure, so fading is minimal even on south-facing patios.

Does the non-skid backing work on concrete?

Yes. The rubber backing grips tile, hardwood, and concrete without a separate rug pad, even when the surface is damp.

Which size works under a dining table?

A 9' x 12" rug gives you 24-30 inches extending beyond chair legs on all sides; an 8' x 10" works for smaller tables or breakfast nooks.

Is assembly included with free shipping?

Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA. The rug arrives ready to use with no assembly needed.
