Charix Brown Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester keeps this flat-weave rug from fading on covered patios where sun, spills and hose-downs are part of the routine. The Charix Brown washable rug in distressed brown is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Eight sizes from 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. runners to 10 ft. x 14 ft. area coverage let you anchor furniture or define entryways without the bulk of traditional pile rugs.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization treats the polyester fibers so they resist color fade when sunlight hits them through a screened porch or under an awning. Polyester itself doesn't absorb water the way natural fibers do, so rain beads off and the rug dries fast after a storm or a rinse with the hose. The flat-weave construction means there's no thick pile to trap moisture or mildew, and the non-skid backing grips tile, wood decking and concrete without needing a separate pad.

Can You Actually Machine Wash This, and How Often Should You?

You can wash the entire rug in cold water with mild detergent in your home machine -- hose off mud and leaves first if it's been outside. How often depends on traffic: a kitchen runner near the sink might go in monthly, while a patio rug under a dining set might need it twice a season. Air-dry it flat or hang it to keep the non-skid backing intact; high dryer heat can warp the backing and change how it lays.

Where Does a Washable Flat-Weave Work Best?

The ultra-thin profile slides under furniture legs without creating a trip edge, so the 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. sizes work well when you want sofa and chair front legs on the rug. Smaller options like the 3 ft. x 5 ft. handle sink zones in kitchens or mudroom entryways where wet shoes and pet paws track in dirt. Pair a runner with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection on a covered porch, or anchor a seating area over composite decking with coordinating outdoor accessories. Layer with neutrals or natural wood tones for a look that reads modern without fuss, and browse our full outdoor rug selection to compare sizes and weaves across covered and open-air zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Polyester resists water absorption and dries quickly after rain or hose cleaning, so getting wet won't damage the rug or promote mildew in the flat weave.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose off loose dirt, then machine wash cold with mild detergent and air-dry flat to preserve the non-skid backing.

Can this stay outside all year?

UV stabilization and quick-drying polyester handle covered outdoor zones year-round, though storing it indoors over winter extends its life in climates with heavy snow or ice.

Will the brown finish fade in direct sun?

UV-stabilized fibers resist fading under awnings and screened areas; prolonged exposure to unfiltered sun on an open deck will eventually lighten any outdoor rug.

What size do I need for a dining table?

The 8 ft. x 8 ft. works under square tables, while 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. accommodates rectangular tables with chairs pulled out.

Is this rug shipped fully assembled, or do I need to unroll and flatten it?

The rug ships folded or rolled and requires no assembly -- unroll it and let it settle flat for a day if creases show. Free curbside delivery is included; setup and packaging removal are available for an additional fee upon request.
