Lume Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester handles full sun on the deck without fading, and the flat weave dries fast after a rainstorm or hosing. The Lume Teal washable outdoor rug in teal striped pattern is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

Will This Rug Fade in Direct Sun or Get Damaged by Rain?

No -- the polyester is UV stabilized to hold color through continuous sun exposure on patios and screened porches. The flat weave construction lets water drain straight through instead of pooling, so the rug dries in under an hour after rain or a quick hose-down. Non-skid latex backing stays secure on wet tile and concrete without peeling or cracking when it gets soaked.

How Do You Clean a Machine-Washable Outdoor Rug?

Toss it in the washer on cold with mild detergent, then air-dry flat or hang it over a railing -- never use the dryer, because heat shrinks polyester and damages the latex backing. For muddy paw prints or spilled drinks, hose it off outdoors and let it dry on the deck in an hour. The stain-resistant fibers shed dirt instead of holding it, so you'll clean this rug less often than a traditional indoor weave.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

Yes in covered areas like screened porches or under roof overhangs, but if your patio gets heavy snow or sits in standing water all winter, roll it up and store it indoors to protect the latex backing. UV stabilization handles year-round sun, and the polyester won't mildew in humid climates, but freezing water trapped under the backing can crack it over repeated cycles. Hose it clean, let it dry completely, then roll it with the pattern side out and store it in a garage or shed until spring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- the flat weave drains water instead of holding it, and the polyester dries in under an hour after rain or hosing.

Will the teal color fade if this sits in full sun all summer?

No -- UV stabilization keeps the striped pattern vibrant through continuous sun exposure on decks and patios.

What size works under a dining table on a covered patio?

The 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. or 8 ft. x 10 ft. sizes give you 24 inches of clearance for chair pullout around the table.

Does the non-skid backing work on wood decks?

Yes -- the latex backing grips wood, tile, and concrete without adhesive mats or tape.

Can you put this in the dryer after washing it?

No -- air-dry only, because dryer heat shrinks polyester fibers and damages the latex backing.

Is free shipping really included?

Yes -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order.
