Formelle Ivory Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds its color under full-sun exposure where untreated rugs fade within months. The Formelle Ivory washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Flat-weave construction dries fast after rain or cleaning, preventing the mold and mildew that develop when moisture sits in thick pile.

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

Yes -- UV stabilization prevents the color breakdown that direct sunlight causes in standard polyester. The woven stripe pattern and border detailing maintain definition season after season, resisting the bleaching effect you'll see on porches with untreated textiles. Polyester sheds water rather than absorbing it, so the ultra-thin flat weave dries quickly after rain or a hose rinse. The non-skid rubber backing stays put on wet decking and tile without trapping moisture underneath.

Do You Throw This in the Washing Machine, or Does It Need Special Care?

You can machine wash it in cold water at home. The polyester fibers resist staining from spills and pet accidents, and the flat weave releases dirt that would lodge in a deeper pile. After washing, the ultra-thin profile air-dries quickly -- much faster than a thick outdoor rug. For spot cleaning between washes, hose it down and let it dry in place. The rubber backing is durable enough for repeated wash cycles without separating.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

It's certified for year-round outdoor use, but whether you leave it out depends on your climate. UV stabilization and quick-dry polyester handle sun and rain without issue. If you're in a region with heavy snow or ice, rolling it up for winter prevents the backing from freezing to the deck surface and extends its lifespan. In milder climates, it can stay down through all four seasons. If you bring it in, machine wash it first and store it dry to prevent any mildew during months of storage.
