Galon Purple Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester shrugs off three seasons of sun and rain without fading the purple, while the 0.08-inch flat-weave construction drains water in minutes so the rug dries before mildew can start. The Galon Purple Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in five sizes from 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. to 10 ft. x 14 ft. is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. When the rug gets grimy from pollen or tracked mud, you throw it in the washing machine on cold and hang it to dry -- no professional cleaning, no scrubbing on your hands and knees.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade on a Covered Patio?

UV stabilization locks the purple dye into the polyester fiber so the color holds up under indirect sun on screened porches, covered decks, and in sunrooms where UV still bounces off windows. The treatment won't prevent bleaching under full desert sun all day, but it handles the filtered light and reflected glare you get in most covered outdoor spaces without turning lavender by September. Flat-weave polyester also resists moisture and mold because synthetic fiber doesn't absorb water the way jute or wool does, so the rug stays cleaner between washes even when humidity climbs.

Do You Hose It Off or Actually Wash It in the Machine?

You can hose it clean on the driveway for light dirt, but when you need to pull out pet odors or wine stains you wash it cold with mild detergent in a standard machine and then lay it flat or hang it over a railing to dry. Never put it in the dryer -- heat warps the integrated non-skid backing and can shrink the rug. The 0.08-inch pile dries fast on its own, usually within an hour or two in moderate humidity, because there's almost no thickness to trap water.

Where Does an Ultra-Thin Rug Work Best?

The thin profile means doors swing over it without catching, so you can drop the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. size in a mudroom or a breezeway where a thicker rug would jam the door. The 8 ft. x 10 ft. anchors outdoor accent chairs on a covered patio or defines a conversation zone in an open-plan family room, and the 10 ft. x 14 ft. works under dining tables seating eight or in large screened porches where you've layered in outdoor accessories like planters and side tables. Integrated non-skid backing grips tile, polished concrete, hardwood, and laminate without a separate rug pad, which saves money and keeps the edges from curling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester flat weave drains water quickly and dries in an hour or two, so rain on a covered patio won't damage the rug or cause mildew.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose off surface dirt outside, or machine wash cold with mild detergent when you need deep cleaning, then air dry flat or draped over a railing.

Can this stay outside all year?

It's rated for covered outdoor areas -- screened porches, verandas, patios with a roof overhead -- but not for full exposure to winter snow and ice, which will degrade the backing over time.

Will the purple fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization protects the color under indirect and filtered sun typical of covered spaces, but prolonged direct desert sun will eventually lighten any dye.

Does the non-skid backing work on hardwood floors?

Yes -- the integrated gripper holds on hardwood, tile, laminate, and polished concrete without a separate rug pad.

Do you offer white-glove delivery or assembly?

Standard curbside delivery is free to the continental USA; white-glove service, room placement, and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
