Galor Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds color under full sun and sheds water fast enough that you can hose it clean and walk on it an hour later. The Galor Teal washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The flat-weave construction and non-skid rubber backing make it practical for covered patios, poolside decks, and kitchens where spills happen daily.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade on a Sunny Deck?

UV stabilization locks pigment into the polyester fibers so the teal stays vibrant through summers of direct exposure. Polyester itself doesn't rot or mildew when it gets wet -- it dries quickly because the flat weave is only 0.1 inches thick and there's no absorbent pile to hold moisture. You can leave this out in rain, hose it down when it's dirty, and it'll be dry by the next morning. The material won't bleach or crack the way natural fibers sometimes do after a season outdoors.

How Do You Clean a Flat-Weave Outdoor Rug?

Machine wash it in cold water with mild detergent on a gentle cycle, then lay it flat or hang it to dry -- skip the dryer because heat can weaken the rubber backing. For spot cleaning, blot spills immediately and scrub with soapy water; the polyester surface is stain-resistant so most liquids wipe off before they set. If you're keeping it outside, shake it out weekly and hose it down monthly to clear dust and pollen. Between seasons, roll it up and store it in a dry spot, though the UV treatment means you can leave it out year-round if the space is covered.

Where Does This Work Best -- Patio or Kitchen?

The 0.1-inch profile sits nearly flat, so it won't trip anyone and works under furniture that slides frequently. Use the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. size in a kitchen in front of the sink or stove where you need something that cleans fast, or anchor a dining table for four. The 8 ft. x 10 ft. and 9 ft. x 12 ft. options fit living room furniture clusters or covered patios; pair them with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs or outdoor accessories collections. The 10 ft. x 14 ft. covers large open decks under sectional seating. The non-skid backing grips tile, concrete, and hardwood without a pad, so it stays put on poolside stone or indoor laminate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this flat-weave polyester sheds water and dries quickly because there's no thick pile to hold moisture. Hose it off or let rain wash over it; it'll be dry within hours.

Will the teal color fade in direct sun?

The UV stabilization prevents fading through seasons of full-sun exposure. The polyester fibers hold pigment even after years on an uncovered deck.

How do I clean an outdoor rug if it's muddy or stained?

Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent on gentle cycle, then lay flat to dry. For quick cleanup, hose it down outside and let it air-dry; the stain-resistant surface releases most spills with plain water.

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, though it performs best in a covered area or where you can roll it up during heavy snow. The material won't rot or mildew, but storing it dry over winter extends its life.

Do I need a rug pad under this on a wood deck?

No -- the non-skid rubber backing grips smooth surfaces without a pad. On rough concrete you might want one for comfort, but it's not required for traction.

Does LOOMLAN Outdoor offer assembly or in-home setup?

Standard delivery is free curbside; white-glove placement and setup are available for an additional fee upon request. This rug requires no assembly -- unroll it and you're done.
