Ken Lime Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Traditional rugs fade to gray after one season on a covered patio -- UV rays break down the dye, and moisture breeds mildew in the pile. This UV-stabilized polyester rug keeps its lime stripe pattern vibrant through direct sun exposure and dries fast after rain or a hose-down. The Ken Lime Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outdoors?

UV stabilization means the polymer contains additives that absorb ultraviolet radiation before it breaks down the dye molecules, so the lime green and stripe pattern resist fading even in full sun on an uncovered deck. Polyester itself doesn't absorb water the way natural fibers do, so moisture from rain or spills beads on the surface rather than soaking into the weave -- that's why it dries fast and resists mildew. The flat weave construction has an ultra-thin 0.08-inch profile, which means there's almost no pile to trap moisture or debris. You can hose off pollen and dirt, and the rug will be dry in an hour or two, not sitting damp for days like a thick wool or cotton rug would.

Can You Actually Machine Wash This Rug?

Yes, and that's the entire point -- you throw it in the washer on cold with mild detergent, then lay it flat or hang it to dry. The flat weave and synthetic fiber let the water run straight through without the rug holding onto soap residue or moisture. Pet accidents, mud tracked in from the yard, food spills at an outdoor dining table -- all of that washes out completely. This makes the rug practical for high-traffic zones like entryways and hallways, or under a dining table where spills are routine. The non-skid backing stays intact through washing, so you don't need a separate rug pad on tile, hardwood, or composite decking.

Which Size Works for a Patio or Dining Room?

The 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. runner fits narrow zones -- hallways, galley kitchens, the walkway from a pool to the house. For an entryway or breakfast nook, the 3 ft. x 5 ft. or 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. sizes define the space without overwhelming it. Under a dining table, the 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. gives you room to pull chairs out without catching on the edge -- figure 18 to 24 inches of rug beyond the table on all sides. The 10 ft. x 14 ft. covers open-concept zones or large covered patios where you want to anchor multiple seating areas. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection or layer it over stained concrete for a clean, modern look alongside weather-resistant outdoor wall art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester doesn't absorb water, and the ultra-thin flat weave drains and dries fast after rain or hosing off debris.

Will the lime color fade in direct sun?

No, the UV stabilization in the polyester resists fading even in full-sun exposure on an uncovered deck.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it off for surface dirt, or machine wash cold with mild detergent and lay flat to dry for deeper cleaning.

Can this stay outside all year?

The material resists UV and moisture, but if you live in a freeze-thaw climate with standing water, rolling it up for winter prevents ice from cracking the backing.

Does the non-skid backing work on composite decking?

Yes, it grips tile, hardwood, and composite without a rug pad, though you can add one if you want extra cushion indoors.

Is shipping included?

Yes, free curbside delivery to the continental USA is included.
