Elira Ivory Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester fibers and machine-washable construction make this rug a practical choice for patios that see rain, sun, and foot traffic all season. The Elira Ivory Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in classic oriental medallion design is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing holds it flat on hardwood, tile, or concrete without separate pads, and the flat-weave profile dries fast after hosing or downpours.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade in Direct Sun?

No -- the fibers are treated during manufacturing to resist UV breakdown, so the ivory medallion pattern holds its color through full summers on uncovered decks and patios. Polyester itself is inherently resistant to moisture and mildew, which is why it's the go-to for outdoor rugs that need to handle weekly rain without rotting. You'll see fading eventually after years of constant exposure, but stabilization pushes that timeline out far longer than untreated synthetics. Hose it down when pollen or dirt accumulates -- water won't harm the fibers or the backing.

Can You Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes, if it's built for it -- and this one is. Toss it in a standard washer on cold with mild detergent when pet stains, spills, or tracked-in mud get ahead of you. The flat-weave construction has no thick pile to trap water, so it wrings out easily and air-dries in hours when laid flat or hung over a rail. Skip bleach and high heat -- cold water and a gentle cycle are all you need. For quick clean-ups between washes, hose it off on the driveway and let it dry in the sun. This kind of maintenance flexibility is why washable polyester works in high-traffic zones like entryways and under outdoor dining sets.

How Do You Keep It From Sliding on Tile or Concrete?

The non-skid synthetic backing grips smooth surfaces without a separate rug pad, so it stays put under chairs that slide in and out or on pool decks where wet feet are constant. On outdoor concrete, the backing also prevents moisture from pooling underneath, which speeds drying and cuts down on mildew risk. Indoors, it works the same way on hardwood, laminate, and kitchen tile -- no bunching or tripping hazards. If you're layering rugs or placing it on a particularly slick surface, you can add a thin pad for extra hold, but most buyers don't need one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester sheds water and the flat weave dries quickly after rain or hosing. The backing won't trap moisture against the deck.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, or hose it down and air-dry. Both methods work without damaging the fibers.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle rain and sun year-round, but prolonged snow and ice contact will shorten its life. Rolling it up for winter is a good idea if you're in a freeze zone.

Will the ivory color show dirt easily?

Yes, lighter colors show spills and tracked-in debris faster than darker rugs. The trade-off is that you can wash it whenever it needs it.

What size works under a patio dining table?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. sizes give you enough clearance for chairs to slide out without catching the rug edge. Measure your table plus 24 inches on all sides.

Does it come with white-glove delivery or assembly?

Standard curbside delivery is free. White-glove services like in-room placement or setup are available for an additional fee upon request.
