Cassiva Olive Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester fibers hold color on covered porches and patios without the bleaching and brittleness natural-fiber rugs show after one season in the sun. The Cassiva Olive Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Machine-washable construction means you hose it down or run it through a standard washer when mud, pet accidents, or patio spills hit -- no professional cleaners, no permanent stains.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Resist Sun and Moisture?

Polyester itself doesn't absorb water the way cotton or jute do, so the fibers dry fast and won't hold mildew in humid climates or after rain blows onto a covered deck. UV stabilizers in the yarn slow the photodegradation that turns unstabilized synthetics stiff and faded after a summer outdoors. This treatment keeps the olive tones from washing out under indirect sun and prevents the backing from cracking when the rug sits on hot concrete. It's rated for covered outdoor use -- a roof or pergola -- not full-weather exposure, so don't leave it unsheltered through winter storms.

Can You Just Throw This in the Washing Machine?

Yes, if your washer drum fits the rug -- 5' x 7'6" and smaller sizes work in most home machines; larger ones need a commercial front-loader or a garden hose and deck brush. Use cold water, mild detergent, gentle cycle, then lay flat or hang to dry. Never put it in the dryer -- heat warps the latex backing and can melt the fibers. For quick cleanup between washes, hose it off outside and let it air-dry; the flat weave sheds water in minutes. The non-skid latex backing grips tile, concrete, and sealed wood without a separate pad, so you can pull it up, wash it, and put it back the same day.

Where Does an Ultra-Thin Rug Work Best?

At 0.08 inches tall, this rug slides under doors that drag on thicker pile, so it's ideal for mudroom entries, galley kitchens, and sliding-door thresholds where you need traction but can't add height. Runners (2'3" x 7'6") fit narrow hallways; 5' x 7'6" anchors a seating cluster on a covered patio paired with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection. Full-room sizes -- 8' x 10', 9' x 12', 10' x 14" -- go under dining tables with 24 to 36 inches of clearance past the chair legs, or they can define a lounge zone on a deck alongside outdoor accessories and weather-resistant wall art. The olive abstract pattern pairs with natural teak, black powder-coated aluminum, and neutral cushions without clashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester resists water absorption and dries in under an hour on a covered patio, and the non-skid latex backing won't delaminate from occasional moisture.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it off and scrub with mild soap for surface dirt, or machine wash cold on gentle cycle and air-dry flat for deep cleaning.

Can this stay outside all year?

Only under a roof or pergola -- UV stabilizers protect against indirect sun, but the rug isn't engineered for unsheltered rain, snow, or full-weather exposure.

Will the olive color fade in direct sun?

It's stabilized for covered outdoor areas where sunlight is filtered; prolonged direct UV will still cause some fading over multiple seasons.

How do I store it over winter?

Roll it loosely, secure with fabric ties, and store in a dry shed or garage -- clean and fully dry before rolling to prevent mildew during storage.

Does this rug come assembled or require setup?

It ships ready to unroll and lay flat -- no assembly. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; white-glove placement and packaging removal are available for an additional fee upon request.
