Basu 5x7 Indoor Outdoor Blue Patio Rug

Details at a Glance

Outdoor rugs fail when they fade after three months or trap mildew underneath -- this 5x7 hand-woven polyester patio rug resists both with UV-stabilized fibers that shed water instead of absorbing it. The Basu 5x7 Indoor Outdoor Blue Patio Rug available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping brings tone-on-tone texture to patios and decks without the maintenance headaches of natural-fiber options. The low-pile construction drains fast and rinses clean with a hose.

How Well Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

UV-stabilized polyester resists sun bleaching season after season, so the light blue tone stays true even on west-facing decks with afternoon exposure. The synthetic fibers shed water instead of soaking it in, which prevents mildew and mold growth in humid climates or after storms. You won't see the color fade or the backing deteriorate the way jute or cotton rugs do when left outside. This rug is engineered for year-round weather -- rain, sun, and temperature swings won't compromise the structure.

How Do You Clean an Outdoor Rug That Gets Wet?

Hose it down with water and let it air-dry in sunlight -- no professional cleaning or machine washing needed. The low-pile construction means dirt and spills sit on the surface rather than sinking into deep fibers, so a quick rinse pulls most debris free. For tougher stains, spot-clean with mild soap and water, then air-dry completely before placing furniture back on top. Never put this rug in a dryer; heat can damage the backing.

Can This Stay Outside All Year, or Do You Need to Store It?

It can stay outside through rain and sun, but in climates with heavy snow or freezing temperatures, bring it inside or store it in a shed over winter. Roll it loosely and keep it in a dry spot -- never fold it flat or store it damp, which can create creases or mildew. If you're in a mild climate with no hard freeze, you can leave it out year-round as long as drainage underneath is good and water doesn't pool.

Where Does This Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

Position it under a dining table with 24 inches extending beyond the chairs on all sides, or center it beneath a lounge group to define the zone. The 5x7 size fits small patios, bistro sets, or balconies -- if you're covering a larger deck or wraparound porch, the 8x10, 9x12, or 10x14 versions scale up to fit full furniture arrangements. The light blue pairs with white wicker, teak, or metal frames and complements coastal or modern styles -- layer it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs and outdoor accessories collections.
