Flowing Harmony Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester keeps this flat weave rug from fading through a full season of direct sun and rain on patios or pool decks. The Flowing Harmony Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug by Addison Rugs is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can toss it in a washing machine when spills or muddy paws strike, then hang it to dry in hours instead of paying for professional cleaning.

Will the Color Fade in Direct Sun?

No -- UV stabilization built into the polyester yarn holds blue tones through constant exposure to overhead sun on uncovered patios and decks. Standard polypropylene rugs shift to washed-out grays within one season, but stabilized polyester resists that breakdown by blocking ultraviolet penetration at the fiber level. You'll see the same geometric block pattern next spring that you laid down this spring, even if the rug stays outside all summer.

Can I Actually Wash This in a Washing Machine?

Yes -- machine wash cold with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang dry. The 0.125-inch pile height means the rug is thin enough to fit in a standard residential washer without overloading the drum, and the flat weave construction dries quickly because water doesn't pool in deep pile loops. Hose off heavy dirt outdoors first to keep the machine clean, then launder it like you would a blanket. This is real machine washability, not a hand-scrub suggestion disguised as "washable."

How Do I Store It Over Winter?

Roll it up, shake off any debris, and store it in a dry garage or shed -- no special prep required. The polyester won't mildew if it's dry when you roll it, and the integrated non-skid backing stays flexible in cold storage so it won't crack or peel when you unroll it in spring. You can also leave it outside if the rug will dry between snowfalls, though bringing it in extends its lifespan by reducing freeze-thaw cycles on the backing.

Where Does This Rug Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Center the 8 ft. x 10 ft. size under a dining table with 24 inches extending past the chair legs, or anchor a seating group on a 9 ft. x 12 ft. rug so the front legs of your outdoor accent chairs rest on the surface. The integrated non-skid backing grips composite decking and concrete without a separate pad, which is one less thing to replace when moisture creeps underneath. Pair it with coordinating outdoor accessories to tie a blue color palette across the space, or layer the matching 50 in. x 70 in. throw over a bench for cohesive texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this polyester flat weave dries quickly after rain or hose-off cleaning, and the material won't rot or develop mildew if it dries between exposures.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose off loose dirt, then machine wash cold with mild detergent and hang dry. For lighter touch-ups, spot-clean with soapy water and a brush.

Can this stay outside all year?

You can leave it out in mild climates where it dries between storms, but rolling it up for winter storage in freezing zones prevents ice damage to the non-skid backing.

Will this work indoors on hardwood floors?

Yes -- the integrated non-skid backing grips hardwood and tile without scratching, and the 0.125-inch pile height fits under most doors.

Does the geometric pattern hide stains?

The irregular block design in blue camouflages light spills and paw prints better than solid colors, though you'll still want to wash it when stains accumulate.

Is assembly or a separate rug pad required?

No -- the rug ships ready to unroll and use, and the built-in non-skid backing eliminates the need for a separate pad. Free curbside delivery is included.
