Faereth Gray Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester handles direct sun on a covered patio or screened porch without fading through multiple seasons, and the non-skid backing grips tile, wood, or concrete when wet. The Addison Rugs Faereth Gray Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Flat weave construction drains moisture in hours after a hose-off or rain exposure, so you're not waiting days for the surface to dry before furniture goes back.

How Does Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain on a Covered Patio?

UV stabilization in the synthetic fibers prevents the gray tones and palm motif from bleaching out when a west-facing porch gets afternoon sun all summer. Polyester doesn't absorb water the way natural fibers do, so the rug sheds rain and hose spray quickly -- expect a few hours of air-drying instead of the overnight soak cotton or jute would need. The material also resists mildew in humid climates because moisture doesn't sit in the weave long enough for growth to start. You can leave this under a roof year-round in most climates; just pull it inside if your area gets ice that could crack the backing when it expands.

Can You Actually Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug, or Will the Backing Fall Apart?

Yes -- the non-skid backing stays bonded through cold-water wash cycles with mild detergent. Toss it in when tracked-in mud or a spilled drink needs more than a quick hose rinse, then lay it flat or hang it to air dry; never put it in the dryer because heat will delaminate the backing and warp the fibers. Between machine washes, spray it down outside and let it drain on the patio -- the ultra-thin profile means there's no thick pile holding water. For our outdoor rugs collection, this is one of the easiest pieces to maintain if you're in a high-traffic entryway or mudroom.

Which Size Works Best Under a Dining Set or in an Entryway?

The 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. fits an entryway or breakfast nook where you want coverage without blocking a door swing. An 8 ft. x 10 ft. centers a standard living room with about 18 inches of floor showing at the edges, and the 9 ft. x 12 ft. floats a dining table for eight with enough room for chairs to pull out and stay on the rug. The 10 ft. x 14 ft. defines an open-plan zone where a covered patio meets an indoor space. Pair the gray palm pattern with teak or powder-coated metal pieces from our outdoor accent chairs range, or layer it with neutral linen cushions and rattan outdoor accessories for a coastal look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this outdoor rug get wet and still dry fast?

Yes -- flat weave polyester drains moisture in a few hours after rain or a hose spray, and the ultra-thin profile means there's no thick pile holding water overnight.

Will the gray color fade in direct sun on a covered patio?

UV stabilization in the fibers resists fading through multiple summer seasons of afternoon sun exposure, though no outdoor rug is completely colorfast forever in unfiltered UV.

How do I clean this rug between seasons?

Hose it off outside for surface dirt, or machine wash cold with mild detergent for deeper cleaning -- just air dry it flat instead of using a dryer.

Can this stay outside all year in a four-season climate?

Under a roof, yes in most climates; pull it inside if you get ice or snow accumulation that could crack the backing when it freezes and expands.

Does the non-skid backing work on tile and hardwood, or do I need a rug pad?

The backing grips tile, wood, and concrete without a separate pad, though you can add one if you want extra cushioning indoors.

What's included with delivery?

The rug ships rolled and ready to unroll -- no assembly -- with free curbside delivery to the continental USA; white-glove placement and packaging removal are available for an additional fee upon request.
