Stripes Fern Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

You can throw this rug in the wash after rain, spills, or muddy paw prints instead of calling a cleaner. The Stripes Fern Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, uses UV-stabilized polyester in a flat weave that dries fast and stays put without a separate pad. Sizes reach 10 ft. x 14 ft. for open-concept zones or covered patios.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up on a Covered Patio?

UV-stabilized polyester resists fading when you place the rug in shaded outdoor areas -- covered decks, pergolas, or sunrooms where direct sun hits only part of the day. The stabilization delays color loss, but full-day exposure still wears the dye over seasons. Rain and hose-off cleaning won't harm the fiber; the flat weave sheds water in minutes. Polyester also resists mildew better than natural fibers, so you're not racing to dry it after every storm.

How Do You Actually Wash This at Home?

Cold water and mild detergent in a standard machine handle the 8 ft. x 8 ft. and throw sizes; the 9 ft. x 12 ft. and 10 ft. x 14 ft. need a commercial washer at a laundromat. Always air-dry -- laying flat or hanging over a railing -- because heat shrinks polyester and can break down the non-skid backing. The ultra-thin profile means it dries in a few hours outdoors, so you're not waiting days to put it back down.

Where Does This Rug Work Best Under Furniture?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. anchors a sofa with front legs on the rug and rear legs off, while the 9 ft. x 12 ft. fits all furniture inside the perimeter for a full seating group. Use the 8 ft. x 8 ft. square under round dining tables or in a corner of a patio paired with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection. The 10 ft. x 14 ft. bridges living and dining zones in open layouts or covers wide spans of tile on a covered porch, layered with décor from our outdoor accessories line. The non-skid backing grips tile, hardwood, and laminate without shifting, so you skip the rug pad and the rug lies flat immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this flat weave polyester sheds rain and hose water, drying in hours thanks to the ultra-thin profile.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Wash cold with mild detergent in a standard or commercial machine depending on size, then air-dry flat or over a railing.

Can this stay outside all year?

It handles summer weather in shaded spots, but bring it inside for winter or roll and store it to prevent ice damage and extend the UV-stabilized color.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization resists fading in covered areas; full-day sun exposure still wears the dye over time, so placement under a pergola or awning works best.

Do I need a rug pad with the non-skid backing?

No -- the integrated backing grips floors without a separate pad.

What size fits under a sectional sofa?

The 9 ft. x 12 ft. or 10 ft. x 14 ft. fits sectional perimeters; measure your furniture footprint and add 18 inches on each side for walking space, or see our outdoor living space guide for layout help.
