Galon Lavender Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester construction means this rug holds its lavender color through full summer sun and rinses clean with a garden hose after a rainstorm. The Addison Rugs Galon Lavender washable outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Machine-washable flat weave handles patio dirt and pet accidents without sending you to a professional cleaner.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade in Direct Sunlight?

UV stabilization in the polyester fiber resists the same ultraviolet degradation that bleaches untreated fabric, so the lavender tone stays consistent through a full season on a south-facing patio. Flat-weave construction dries quickly after rain, which prevents the moisture retention that leads to mildew in thicker pile rugs. The stain-resistant finish repels spills and lets you spot-clean between washes, and the non-skid backing grips tile or composite decking without breaking down in humid coastal air.

How Do You Wash an Outdoor Rug That Gets Muddy?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to air-dry -- no dryer, because high heat can loosen the backing adhesive. For outdoor grime between washes, hose off the surface and let it dry in place; the 0.25-inch profile means water drains through in minutes instead of puddling. You're not stuck scrubbing or paying for professional steam cleaning every time the dog tracks mud across the deck.

Can This Stay Outside Through Winter?

The polyester won't rot or mildew if snow sits on it, but you'll extend its life by rolling it up and storing it dry once temperatures stay below freezing. If you leave it out, the backing adhesive may crack after repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and snow melt can carry sediment that embeds in the weave. Bring it in at season's end, shake it out, and stack it flat in a garage or shed until spring.

Where Does a Flat-Weave Rug Work Best on a Patio?

The ultra-thin profile fits under furniture without creating a trip edge, so it works well beneath outdoor accent chairs or layered under a dining set with minimal clearance. Pair the lavender diamond pattern with neutral outdoor accessories or teak pieces to let the geometric design stand out, and use the larger 10' x 14' size to define a full conversation zone with sectional seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this flat-weave polyester dries quickly after rain and resists mold because water drains through the thin profile instead of pooling.

How do I clean an outdoor rug that's been on a patio all summer?

Hose it off outdoors, or machine wash cold with mild detergent and air-dry flat. The stain-resistant finish lets you wipe up most spills before they set.

Will the lavender color fade if it's in full sun every day?

UV stabilization in the polyester resists fading through a full season of direct sunlight, though all outdoor fabric will show some wear after years of continuous exposure.

Can I use this rug indoors with pets?

Yes -- the non-skid backing stays put on hardwood or tile, and you can machine wash it after pet accidents without professional cleaning.

What size rug do I need under a six-seat dining table?

An 8' x 10' or 9' x 12' rug gives you 18 inches of clearance beyond chair edges when pulled out, which keeps all four legs on the rug during meals.

Does this rug arrive ready to use, or is assembly required?

It ships folded and ready to unroll -- no assembly. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; white-glove setup is available for an additional fee upon request.
