Celera Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester keeps the teal pattern from bleaching when this rug sits in full sun on your deck. The Celera Teal washable rug, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, uses flat-weave construction that dries quickly after rain or hosing down. Non-skid backing holds it steady on tile, concrete and wood without adhesive.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV stabilizers embedded in the polyester fibers block the wavelengths that break down dye molecules, so the teal stays vibrant through summers of direct sun exposure. Polyester itself doesn't absorb water -- rain beads on the surface and drains through the flat weave, then the ultra-thin profile air-dries in an hour or two. You won't see the mildew or rot that natural fibers develop when they stay damp. Stain resistance is built into the synthetic construction, meaning spilled drinks and muddy paw prints wipe or rinse clean before they set.

Can You Throw This in the Washing Machine?

Yes -- toss it in on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then hang or lay flat to dry. Machine washing is the easiest way to handle a season's worth of patio grime, pet hair and tracked-in dirt. Air drying preserves the non-skid backing; high dryer heat can soften the rubber compound and cause the rug to shrink. If you're spot-cleaning outdoors, hose it down and let it dry in place -- the quick-dry weave handles that without issue.

Does It Need to Be Stored Inside Over Winter?

The polyester and non-skid backing tolerate freezing temps and winter moisture, so you can leave it out year-round if your patio is covered. UV stabilization prevents sun fade but doesn't add warmth -- snow and ice won't damage the fibers, though the rug will stay stiff until it thaws. If you store it indoors, roll it loosely and keep it dry; folding sharp creases into the backing can crack the rubber over time. Most people who use these rugs in fully exposed areas roll them up for December through February and bring them back out in spring.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Under Furniture?

The 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. and 8 ft. x 10 ft. sizes anchor seating groups from our outdoor accent chairs collection, leaving 18--24 inches of rug visible beyond the furniture legs. Runners like the 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. fit narrow balconies or hallways that open onto a deck. Pair the teal abstract with neutral cushions and natural teak or wicker pieces, or layer it under a dining table with weatherproof accessories from our outdoor accessories line. Non-skid backing keeps it from shifting when chairs slide in and out, and the flat weave won't trip anyone walking barefoot from the pool.
