Looma Khaki Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester keeps this flat-weave rug from fading on sun-drenched decks and patios while flat-weave construction sheds rain and dries fast when hosed off. The Looma Khaki washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing grips tile, concrete, and hardwood without the bunching you get from thicker pile rugs.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outdoors?

UV stabilization keeps the khaki color from bleaching in direct sun -- the synthetic treatment blocks the ultraviolet rays that break down dye molecules in untreated fabric. Polyester itself resists moisture without rotting or mildewing, so rain and hose spray don't degrade the fibers the way they would with natural jute or cotton. The flat weave dries quickly after wet weather because water doesn't get trapped in pile. You won't see the fading or waterline stains that show up on rugs without UV protection after a single season outdoors.

Can I Wash This in a Standard Machine?

Yes, the ultra-thin profile fits in residential washers -- use cold water and mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry. Never put it in a dryer, which can damage the non-skid backing and warp polyester fibers. For outdoor placement, you can skip the machine and just hose it off on the driveway, then let it air-dry before rolling it back out. The flat weave means there's no deep pile to hold dirt, so surface cleaning handles most of what pets and foot traffic leave behind.

Do I Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it on a covered porch or under a roof overhang year-round since polyester doesn't absorb water and the UV stabilization doesn't degrade in freezing temps. If the rug sits on an open deck with full snow and ice exposure, rolling it up and storing it in a dry garage or shed will extend its life -- even weather-resistant materials wear faster when they freeze wet and thaw repeatedly. Shake it out and make sure it's dry before you roll it to prevent any mildew smell during storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes, polyester flat-weave construction sheds water and dries quickly -- hose it off and it'll be ready to use again within hours on a warm day.

Will the khaki color fade in direct sun?

The UV stabilization prevents fading in sunlight, so the color holds even on south-facing patios with full afternoon exposure.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent for indoor spills, or hose down and air-dry when it's outside -- never use a dryer.

Which size works best under a dining table?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. gives you 24 inches of clearance around the table so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.

Does the non-skid backing work on tile and concrete?

Yes, the backing grips smooth surfaces like tile, concrete, and hardwood without adhesive or a separate pad.

Does this ship fully assembled?

There's no assembly -- it ships rolled and you unroll it where you want it, then let it flatten for a day if the edges curl from shipping.
