Stripes Eggplant Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester handles direct sun without color fade, and the flat weave dries fast after rain or hosing -- you can actually machine wash this rug when spills or muddy paw prints strike. The Stripes Eggplant washable rug, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, gives you bold eggplant striping on a material engineered for poolside decks and high-traffic entryways. The built-in non-skid backing grips tile, wood, and concrete surfaces without a separate pad, and the 0.08-inch profile won't trap water underneath.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up on a Covered Patio?

UV stabilization keeps the eggplant tones from bleaching when the rug sits in a sunroom or under a pergola all season. Polyester resists mold and mildew in humid climates, and the flat weave construction sheds moisture quickly after a rainstorm -- you won't find standing water pooling on top or soaking into fibers. The ultra-thin profile also means the rug dries front-to-back in hours, not days, so it's ready for foot traffic after you hose off dirt or pollen.

Can You Actually Machine Wash This Rug?

Yes -- home washing machines handle the 8-foot-by-8-foot, 8-foot-by-10-foot, and 9-foot-by-12-foot sizes; the 10-foot-by-14-foot option needs a commercial machine. Use cold water and mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to air dry -- never put it in the dryer, because heat can damage the non-skid backing. This means you can rinse out pet accidents, food spills, and tracked-in mud yourself instead of hiring a cleaner every season.

Where Does a Non-Skid Flat Weave Work Best?

The integrated backing stays flat on hardwood, tile, and outdoor pavers without curling at the edges -- that makes it safe for mudroom entries, covered decks, and poolside lounging areas where tripping hazards are a concern. The 8-foot-by-8-foot size centers under round dining tables; the 9-foot-by-12-foot anchors living room seating or open patios. Pair the eggplant stripes with neutral pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection, or layer it over sisal for texture contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- the flat weave polyester dries quickly after rain or hosing, and the ultra-thin profile prevents water from pooling underneath.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent (home washers for sizes up to 9 ft. x 12 ft., commercial machines for larger), then air dry flat or hanging. Never use the dryer.

Can this stay outside all year?

UV stabilization and mold-resistant polyester allow year-round placement on covered patios or in sunrooms, though storing it over winter extends its life in harsh climates.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization prevents the eggplant tones from bleaching on covered decks and south-facing sunrooms, but prolonged exposure to full, unfiltered sunlight will eventually lighten any outdoor material.

How do I store it over winter?

Roll it loosely and store in a dry garage or shed -- the thin profile makes it easy to roll tightly without creasing, and the non-skid backing won't crack when stored flat.

Does the non-skid backing need a separate rug pad?

No -- the integrated polyester backing grips tile, wood, and concrete surfaces on its own, so you skip the cost and hassle of an extra pad.
