Cora Black Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester resists the color fade that ruins most rugs after a single summer in direct sun, and a flat weave profile dries fast after a hose-down or rain shower. The Cora black washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing keeps it flat on deck boards, concrete, and tile without sliding underfoot.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade in Full Sun?

It won't. UV stabilization means the fiber itself is engineered to block the wavelength that breaks down dye molecules, so black stays black through years of patio exposure. Polyester is also moisture-repellent -- rain beads off the surface instead of soaking into fibers that would mildew or rot. That combination of sun and water resistance is why this rug works on a pool deck or screened porch where weather hits hard. You'll find this same synthetic across our outdoor rugs collection, all built to handle weather that would destroy natural fiber.

How Do You Clean a Washable Outdoor Rug?

Hose it down on the driveway for mud or dirt, or toss it in the washing machine on cold with mild detergent for stains and pet accidents. Lay it flat or hang it to dry -- never put it in the dryer, because heat can warp the ultra-thin profile and shrink the backing. The flat weave means there's no thick pile to hold water, so it air-dries in a couple of hours outdoors. For routine maintenance, shake it out or vacuum it like you would any indoor rug.

Can This Rug Stay Outside All Year?

Yes, because polyester doesn't rot when wet and UV stabilization prevents sun damage year-round. That said, the non-skid backing lasts longer if you roll the rug and store it indoors during months you're not using the patio -- winter storage isn't required for the fiber, but it extends the life of the grip. If you leave it out, just flip it occasionally so one side doesn't get continuous sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester repels moisture and dries quickly, so rain and hose cleaning won't damage it.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

No. UV stabilization protects the dye from the wavelength that causes fading, even in full sun exposure.

How do I store it over winter?

Roll it up and store it indoors to extend the non-skid backing's life, though the fiber itself can stay outside year-round.

Does the non-skid backing work on wood decks?

Yes -- it grips tile, wood, and concrete without slipping or requiring a separate pad.

What size works under a dining table on a patio?

The 8 ft. x 8 ft. or 8 ft. x 10 ft. size fits under most outdoor dining sets from our outdoor accent chairs and table groupings, with room for chairs to slide back.

Is shipping included?

Yes -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA, with no minimum order.
