Martha Orange Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Machine-washable polyester flat-weave construction lets you hose this rug off on a deck or run it through a cold-water cycle when tracked-in dirt and pet accidents demand it. The Martha Orange Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-porous fibers resist moisture absorption so the rug dries quickly after rain, and a rubber-coated backing grips tile, wood, and concrete without sliding.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up in Direct Sun?

UV-stabilized polyester fibers resist color fade when positioned on uncovered decks and patios where afternoon sun hits hardest. The synthetic construction doesn't absorb moisture like natural-fiber rugs, so rain and hose-cleaning won't trigger mildew or rot. Polyester also repels stains from food spills, pet urine, and poolside splashes -- what doesn't bead off wipes clean with mild detergent.

Can You Machine-Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes -- wash this rug in cold water with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry. For faster spot cleaning, hose it off outdoors and let it air-dry on the deck; the flat weave sheds water and dries in hours. The ultra-thin 0.08-inch pile fits in residential washing machines for the smaller sizes (2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. through 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in.), while larger formats clean easily with a deck brush and garden hose.

Where Should You Position This on a Patio or Deck?

Layer the 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. under outdoor accent chairs on a covered patio, or use the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. to anchor a bistro set on a balcony. The 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. runner works inside a mudroom or sunroom entrance, where it catches tracked-in dirt before it reaches interior flooring. Pair with pieces from the outdoor accessories collection to tie together seating zones, or position beneath outdoor wall art installations for layered visual interest. Leave 18 to 24 inches of floor visible around the perimeter in open-plan spaces so the rug defines the furniture grouping without overwhelming it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester flat-weave construction dries quickly after rain or hose-cleaning and doesn't absorb moisture that triggers mildew.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it off outdoors and air-dry, or machine-wash cold with mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Non-porous fibers release dirt without scrubbing.

Can this stay outside all year?

UV-stabilized polyester resists sun fade and moisture, but storing it indoors during prolonged winter wet seasons extends the backing's lifespan.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization protects the orange and multi-color pattern from fading on uncovered decks and patios exposed to afternoon sunlight.

Does the non-skid backing work on all surfaces?

The rubber-coated backing grips tile, wood, and concrete without additional rug pads, though textured stone may reduce traction slightly.

Is shipping included?

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