Louisa Gray Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester and sealed flat weave construction let this rug sit outdoors through full sun without fading or mildew growth, and you can machine-wash it cold when foot traffic or pet stains pile up. The Louisa Gray Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in gray is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing grips tile, hardwood, and concrete without shifting, so you don't need a separate pad on a covered porch or kitchen floor.

How Well Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outdoors?

UV stabilizers embedded in the polyester fiber resist color fade through direct sun exposure on decks and sunrooms. The flat weave construction dries quickly after rain or hose-off cleaning, which prevents mold in humid climates and keeps the rug soft underfoot. Polyester itself resists moisture absorption, so the fibers won't rot or stiffen even if the rug sits on damp concrete, and the 0.08-inch pile height means there's no thick padding to trap water.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it on a covered porch year-round, since polyester won't crack in freezing temperatures and the UV stabilizers hold through winter sun. If the rug sits in an uncovered spot that collects snow or ice, roll it and store it dry to extend its lifespan -- prolonged freeze-thaw cycles can stress the non-skid backing. Machine-wash cold with mild detergent before storage to remove salt, dirt, or leaf tannins that might set over months.

What's the Easiest Way to Clean It After a Season Outdoors?

Hose the rug off on the driveway and let it air-dry, or toss it in a standard washing machine on cold with mild detergent -- the sealed polyester won't shrink or bleed color. For spot cleaning, blot spills immediately and scrub with soapy water; stain-resistant fibers release most food, pet accidents, and drink spills without permanent marks. Skip bleach and high-heat drying, which can degrade the UV stabilizers and backing over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester flat weave dries quickly after rain or hose cleaning and resists mold growth in humid conditions.

Will the gray swirl pattern fade in direct sun?

UV-stabilized polyester retains color intensity through full sun exposure on decks and patios.

Which size works for a dining table that seats six?

The 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. size anchors a table for four to six chairs, or step up to 8 ft. x 10 ft. if you want the rug to extend 18 inches beyond the chairs when pulled out.

Does the non-skid backing work on hardwood floors indoors?

Yes -- the textured backing grips hardwood, tile, and concrete without adhesives or a separate rug pad.

Can I leave it outside all year on a covered porch?

You can, as long as the porch stays dry most of the time; if the spot collects snow or standing water, roll and store the rug dry over winter.

Is white-glove delivery or assembly included?

Free curbside delivery is included; white-glove in-room placement and packaging removal are available for an additional fee upon request.
