Hand-tufted from 100-percent recycled polyester with UV-stabilized fibers, this rug holds up to sun exposure and seasonal moisture on covered porches and screened patios without warping or breeding mildew. The Cima 5x7 Indoor Outdoor Gray Patio Rug in charcoal gray is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its water-resistant backing and low-pile construction dry fast after rain and simplify hose-off cleaning.

Will Recycled Polyester Fade in Direct Sun or Develop Mildew?

UV-stabilized recycled polyester resists sun fade across seasons when placed under cover -- screened porches, covered decks, and canopied patios all qualify. The water-resistant polyester backing repels moisture so the rug air-dries quickly after rain, and that fast-dry behavior prevents mold and mildew from taking hold. Recycled polyester performs like virgin polypropylene outdoors but diverts landfill waste; you get the same weather resistance with lower environmental impact. The UV treatment is dyed into the fiber, not topically applied, so color retention holds through multiple seasons of covered outdoor use.

How Do You Clean It Without a Washing Machine?

Hose it off on a driveway or lawn, let it air-dry flat, then return it to the patio once completely dry. The water-resistant backing sheds spills and pet accidents, so most cleanup requires only a garden hose and mild soap for stubborn spots. Do not machine-wash -- the hand-tufted construction and backing perform best with open-air rinsing and drying. If you're storing it over winter, vacuum or shake out debris, hose off any stains, dry it fully in the sun, then roll it loosely and store in a dry shed or garage.

Where Does a 5x7 Work Best on a Covered Patio?

This size fits narrow entryways (leave 36 inches of width minimum at doorways), small balconies, and under bistro tables on screened porches. If you're anchoring outdoor accent chairs or a compact seating group, the 5x7 grounds two chairs with a side table between them. For larger covered patios that hold full dining sets or sectional seating, browse the 7x9 and 9x12 sizes in the outdoor rugs collection. Pair charcoal gray with teak or powder-coated aluminum furniture and add texture with woven outdoor accessories -- planters, lanterns, or weather-resistant outdoor wall art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- the water-resistant backing repels moisture, and the recycled polyester pile dries quickly when you lift the rug and let air circulate underneath after heavy rain.

Can this stay outside all year?

It's rated for covered outdoor use, so it handles seasonal moisture and sun under a roof or canopy. Store it indoors over winter if your porch is fully exposed or if snow and ice accumulate.

Will the charcoal gray fade in direct sun?

UV-stabilized fibers resist fading on covered porches and screened patios. Continuous direct sun exposure (uncovered decks in full daylight) will eventually lighten any outdoor rug, so keep it under a roof or shade structure.

How do I store it over winter?

Hose off dirt, let it dry completely in the sun, then roll it loosely and store flat or upright in a dry garage or shed. Make sure it's fully dry before rolling to prevent mildew during storage.

Does the tone-on-tone texture show dirt easily?

Charcoal gray hides light dust and paw prints better than cream or beige, and the cut-and-loop pile pattern camouflages minor debris between cleanings.

Does this rug ship assembled, or is there any setup required?

It arrives ready to unroll and place -- no assembly. Standard delivery is free curbside shipping to the continental USA; unroll it outdoors and let it relax flat for a few hours if the edges curl from packaging.
