Faeriel Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Most outdoor rugs trap water, fade in the sun, and turn stiff under continuous UV exposure -- then you can't even throw them in the wash. UV-stabilized polyester handles all three problems: it dries fast after rain, the color holds season after season, and the whole thing goes in a standard washing machine when dirt builds up. The Addison Rugs Faeriel teal washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization keeps polyester fibers from breaking down when they're parked in direct sun all summer. You won't see the teal pattern bleach out or the backing crack the way untreated synthetics do after a season on a south-facing deck. Polyester doesn't absorb moisture, so the flat weave sheds rain immediately and dries within an hour or two -- no mildew smell, no water pooling underneath. The non-skid synthetic backing grips concrete, composite decking, and tile without a separate pad, and it won't degrade in damp conditions.

Can You Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes -- use cold water and mild detergent, then air-dry or tumble on low. Machine washability is the reason to choose polyester over polypropylene: when pollen coats the rug in spring or a drink spills during a dinner party, you pull it up, wash it, and put it back down the next day. The flat weave construction means there's no thick pile to hold water, so it comes out of the washer almost dry. For spot cleaning between washes, hose it down on the driveway and let it dry in the sun.

Where Does a Flat-Weave Outdoor Rug Work Best?

The ultra-thin profile fits under low-clearance patio doors and prevents tripping where foot traffic is constant. Use the 8 ft. x 10 ft. size under a six-person dining table with 18 inches of clearance on all sides, or center the 9 ft. x 12 ft. under an outdoor sectional so front legs rest on the rug. Indoors, the non-skid backing makes it useful in high-traffic entryways, mudrooms, and kitchens -- anywhere spills happen and you need to wash the floor covering regularly. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection to anchor a seating area, or browse outdoor rugs for complementary sizes and patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester sheds water immediately, and the flat weave dries within an hour or two after rain. No water pools underneath, and the backing won't rot in damp conditions.

Will the teal color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization prevents fading and fiber breakdown season after season. The abstract pattern holds its vibrancy on south- and west-facing decks where untreated rugs bleach out.

How do I clean this rug?

Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent, then air-dry or tumble on low heat. For quick cleanup, hose it down on the driveway and let it dry in the sun.

Can this stay outside all year?

The polyester and UV-stabilized backing handle sun and rain year-round in temperate climates. In areas with heavy snow or prolonged freezing, roll it up and store it indoors to prevent ice damage.

Does the non-skid backing work on composite decking?

Yes -- the synthetic backing grips composite, concrete, tile, and wood decking without a separate rug pad. It won't scratch finishes or slide when foot traffic is heavy.

What size do I need for a six-person dining table?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. size provides 18 inches of clearance on all sides of a standard rectangular table. For larger sectionals or outdoor living rooms, the 9 ft. x 12 ft. and 10 ft. x 14 ft. options center furniture with front legs on the rug.

Is delivery free, and does the rug arrive assembled?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA. The rug ships rolled and ready to unroll -- no assembly required.
