Ensa Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

The Ensa Teal's UV-stabilized polyester holds color through direct sun while the ultra-thin flat weave dries fast after rain or a machine wash cycle. This polyester rug in an intricate teal floral pattern is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing keeps it secure on tile, wood or concrete whether you're using it indoors or on a covered patio.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade in Direct Sun?

UV stabilization in the polyester fiber slows color loss from sunlight exposure, so teal tones hold longer on a south-facing deck or uncovered patio. Polyester itself resists moisture absorption, which means the rug won't mildew if it gets wet and the backing won't delaminate from repeated rain. The flat weave construction lets air move through quickly, so the ultra-thin profile air-dries in hours rather than staying damp overnight where mold can start.

Can You Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes -- cold water and mild detergent in a standard machine clean spills and tracked-in dirt without damaging the polyester fiber or non-skid backing. If you're using it outdoors, hosing it off on the driveway works just as well for pollen or dust. Lay flat or hang to dry; never put it in the dryer because heat can weaken the backing's grip.

Does This Stay Outside All Year or Should You Bring It In?

You can leave it out on a covered patio year-round, but prolonged snow contact or standing water will shorten any rug's life. If your deck gets heavy winter weather, roll it up and store it dry indoors until spring. The 5-pound weight makes moving it easy, and the flat weave takes up less space than a pile rug.

Where Does a Washable Rug Work Best?

The 3' x 5' and 5' x 7'6" sizes anchor seating zones on covered porches when you pair them with outdoor accent chairs in wicker or metal. Indoors, an 8' x 10' or 9' x 12' grounds a living room or dining set where pets and kids track in mud -- machine washing keeps it clean without professional service. Runner sizes (2'3" x 7'6") fit narrow hallways and galley kitchens, and the non-skid backing prevents sliding on smooth floors. Coordinate with neutral tones in the outdoor rugs collection or layer it over sisal for texture, and add finishing touches from outdoor accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester repels water and the ultra-thin weave dries quickly after rain or hosing off, so moisture won't cause mildew.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent and lay flat to air-dry, or hose it off outside and let it dry on a deck railing.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can stay on a covered patio year-round, but roll it up and store it indoors if your area gets heavy snow or standing water.

Will the teal color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization slows fading, though all outdoor fabrics lose some color over years of constant sun exposure.

What size rug fits under a round dining table?

An 8' x 8' size allows 24 inches of clearance around a 48-inch round table so chairs slide out without catching the edge.

Does this rug come fully assembled or do I need white-glove delivery?

The rug ships flat, no assembly required; free curbside delivery is included, and white-glove service is available for an additional fee if you want in-room placement.
