Stripes Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds its blue striped pattern through full summers of direct sun exposure, and the flat weave construction sheds rain and hosing-off in hours instead of days. The Stripes Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug from Addison Rugs is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Machine washable in cold water, this rug cleans up pet stains and tracked-in dirt without a trip to the cleaner, and the integrated non-skid backing grips tile, wood, and composite decking without a separate pad.

How Does Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization treats the fiber before it's woven, so the blue dye resists fading even when the rug sits in direct afternoon sun on a south-facing patio or sunroom. Polyester doesn't absorb water the way natural fiber does -- rain and spills bead on the surface, and the ultra-thin 0.08-inch pile height means the whole rug dries in a few hours instead of staying damp for days. That quick-dry performance also stops mildew from taking hold in humid coastal climates or after you hose off pollen and debris. The flat weave construction stays dimensionally stable when it gets wet, so it won't ripple or buckle after a storm.

Do You Machine Wash It or Hose It Off?

You can do both. For light dirt and pollen, hose it down and let it dry flat on the deck. For pet accidents, tracked-in mud, or seasonal deep cleaning, toss it in a washing machine on cold with mild detergent -- the 8 ft. x 8 ft. and 8 ft. x 10 ft. sizes fit standard home machines, and larger sizes go to a laundromat with commercial-capacity washers. The non-skid rubberized backing holds up to repeated washing, and the rug comes out clean without losing its grip. Air-dry flat or tumble on low heat; it takes less than a day to be ready to go back down.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 9 ft. x 12 ft. and 10 ft. x 14 ft. sizes anchor dining tables seating six to eight with enough room for chairs to pull out 24 inches and stay on the rug, and they pair naturally with the outdoor accent chairs and teak or aluminum tables in LOOMLAN Outdoor's covered-patio collections. Use the 8 ft. x 10 ft. under a glass patio table or sectional seating in a three-season porch, and the 8 ft. x 8 ft. square fits breakfast nooks and small balconies. The blue striped pattern complements white resin, natural teak, and powder-coated frames without fighting bolder outdoor accessories or cushion fabrics. The matching 50 in. x 70 in. sherpa throw extends the pattern to sofas and lounge seating if you want a coordinated look across zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this polyester flat weave sheds rain and dries in hours, and UV stabilization prevents the color from bleeding or fading when it's soaked.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose off light dirt, or machine wash in cold water with mild detergent for deep cleaning and pet stains. Air-dry flat.

Can this stay outside all year?

The material can handle moisture and sun year-round, but storing it dry over winter extends its life in climates with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow.

Will the striped pattern fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization protects the blue dye from fading even in direct afternoon sun on south-facing patios and sunrooms.

Do I need a rug pad under this?

No -- the integrated non-skid backing grips tile, wood, and composite decking without shifting, so you don't need to buy a separate pad.

Does this come with free shipping?

Yes -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove services like in-room placement and packaging removal are available upon request for an additional fee.
