Evalora Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds teal color intensity through full sun exposure without the fade you get from standard indoor rugs left on a patio. The flat weave dries within hours after rain or a hose-down, and the non-skid backing grips tile, wood, or concrete without a separate pad. The Evalora Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in eight sizes is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Direct Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization means the polyester fibers resist the breakdown that turns blues and greens chalky after a season outdoors. Teal stays vibrant through summer sun on an uncovered deck or poolside placement. The material also sheds moisture instead of holding it -- after rain or a garden-hose rinse, the ultra-thin profile allows air to circulate from both sides so the weave dries fast. You won't have mildew forming underneath the way you do with thick-pile rugs that trap water against a patio surface.

Can You Just Throw This in the Washing Machine?

Yes -- machine wash cold with mild detergent and lay flat or hang to dry. For outdoor cleaning, hose it off on the driveway and prop it against a railing; it'll be dry by afternoon. The flat weave construction means there's no deep pile to hold soap or dirt, so a single rinse clears spills, pet accidents, or tracked-in sand. This is the cleaning routine indoor wool or jute rugs can't survive, which is why washable polyester works for mudrooms, galley kitchens, and any high-traffic zone.

Where Does a Quick-Dry Flat Weave Work Best?

Covered patios and screened porches get the most from the non-skid backing and fast-dry performance -- you can leave it down through a rainstorm and not worry about pulling it inside. Indoors, the ultra-thin profile fits under doors and works in spaces that see spills: breakfast nooks, entryways, laundry rooms. The 5' x 7'6" and 8' x 8' sizes anchor seating in our outdoor accent chairs collection, while runners suit narrow hallways. Pair the teal geometric pattern with natural wood pieces or the neutral tones in our outdoor accessories line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- the flat weave sheds water and dries within hours, so rain and hose rinses won't damage the polyester or backing.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent and hang to dry, or hose it off outdoors and prop it up for air circulation.

Will the teal color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization resists the breakdown that causes fading, so the teal stays vibrant through full-season sun exposure.

Can this stay outside all year?

The polyester and non-skid backing handle rain and sun, but prolonged snow cover and freeze-thaw cycles can shorten lifespan -- roll it up and store it dry if you're in a harsh winter climate.

Does the backing prevent slipping on tile or wood?

Yes -- the non-skid backing grips smooth surfaces without a separate rug pad, which is why it works on decks, porches, and indoor tile.

Do I have to assemble or unfold this when it arrives?

No assembly required -- unroll it, let it relax flat for a day if it has shipping creases, and it's ready to use. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA.
