Still Bloom Green Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester resists color fade on covered patios and screened porches where afternoon sun hits hardest. The Still Bloom Green outdoor rug combines full machine-wash convenience with non-skid backing, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Quick-dry flat weave construction handles rain, pet accidents, and muddy foot traffic without bunching or holding moisture.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV stabilizers embedded in the polyester fiber prevent color breakdown and fading on sun-facing entryways and open decks. The synthetic material repels water rather than absorbing it, so the rug dries within hours after a downpour or hosing. Flat weave construction allows air circulation through the fibers, eliminating the mildew risk you'd face with thick-pile natural materials. This is engineered for outdoor placement -- not a cotton rug you're hoping will survive.

Can You Actually Wash This in a Machine?

Yes, you can wash the entire rug in a standard machine using cold water and mild detergent. The non-skid backing is designed to withstand wash cycles without peeling or degrading, and the flat weave profile prevents the tangling you'd get with looped or shag construction. Lay it flat or hang it to dry -- avoid high-heat dryer settings that can damage the backing. This is the reason you'd choose this rug over untreated jute or wool: when a spill or muddy paw print happens, you clean the whole thing instead of spot-treating and hoping.

Where Should You Place This on a Patio or Deck?

Center the rug under a dining table with 24 inches of clearance on all sides so chairs slide freely when guests stand, or position it beneath an outdoor sectional on a screened porch. In mudrooms and kitchens, run it parallel to high-traffic pathways where spills concentrate. The non-skid backing grips tile, hardwood, and composite decking without a separate pad, so you won't need to layer grip mats underneath. Pair it with pieces from the outdoor accent chairs collection or weather-resistant wall art to pull the green plaid into a full outdoor room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- UV-stabilized polyester repels water and dries within hours after rain or hosing, and the flat weave allows air circulation to prevent mildew.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid high-heat dryer settings that can damage the non-skid backing.

Can this stay outside all year?

The rug resists UV fade and moisture, but you'll extend its life by rolling and storing it in a dry shed or garage during months of snow and ice accumulation.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilizers in the polyester fiber resist fading on covered porches and patios, though no outdoor textile is completely immune to years of intense sun exposure.

What size rug do I need under a dining table?

Allow 24 inches of rug beyond each table edge so chairs remain on the surface when pulled out -- an 8 ft. x 10 ft. rug works for most six-seat tables.

Does the rug ship fully assembled?

No assembly is required -- the rug arrives rolled and ready to unroll and place. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
