Faerel Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds its color through direct sun and rain without the permanent fading you get from untreated synthetics. The Faerel Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in abstract blue splashes is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The flat weave construction and non-skid backing handle moisture, foot traffic, and pet spills while staying machine washable for easy cleanup.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization treats the polyester fibers to resist color breakdown from ultraviolet light, so the blue stays vibrant through full-sun exposure on uncovered decks or patios. Polyester itself is inherently moisture-resistant -- it doesn't absorb water the way natural fibers do, so rain and spills sit on the surface rather than soaking in. The ultra-thin 0.13-inch flat weave dries quickly after hosing off or rain, which prevents mildew growth and that damp-rug smell you get with thicker piles. This construction is built for environments where a rug gets wet regularly and needs to bounce back fast.

Can You Really Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes, as long as it fits your washer -- the 5' x 7'6" size works in most standard machines, while larger sizes are easier to hose off outdoors and lay flat to dry. Wash cold with mild detergent and hang or lay flat; the quick-dry profile means it's ready to go back down in a few hours. The stain-resistant surface also wipes clean for daily spills without needing a full wash, so you're not running the washer every week. For outdoor placement, hosing off and air-drying handles dirt, pollen, and tracked-in debris without dragging the rug inside.

Does This Work Better Under a Covered Patio or in Full Sun?

It handles both -- UV resistance keeps the color from bleaching on an uncovered deck, and the quick-dry weave sheds rain fast enough to use it where weather hits directly. Covered patios, pool decks, mudrooms, and sunrooms are all good placements, and the non-skid backing grips tile, concrete, and wood without shifting or scratching. If you're layering textures, pair it with pieces from our outdoor accessories collection or anchor a seating zone with outdoor accent chairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this polyester flat weave sheds water on the surface and dries quickly after rain or hosing, preventing mildew and permanent damage.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent for smaller sizes, or hose off outdoors and lay flat to dry. The stain-resistant surface wipes clean for daily spills.

Can this stay outside all year?

UV stabilization and moisture resistance let it stay out year-round in mild climates, but storing it indoors over winter extends its life in areas with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

UV-stabilized polyester resists fading from sunlight far better than untreated synthetics, keeping the blue vibrant through continuous outdoor exposure.

What size rug should I use under a dining table?

The 8' x 10" works for most rectangular tables with at least 18 inches extending beyond the chairs when pulled out; the 8' x 8" fits square tables.

Does this come with free delivery?

Yes -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA. The rug ships rolled and requires no assembly.
