Iriora Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester takes repeated cycles of sun, rain, and hose-downs without the color washing out or the backing peeling. The Addison Rugs Iriora teal washable indoor-outdoor rug in teal is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Flat weave construction lets water run through instead of pooling, and the ultra-thin profile dries fast after a storm or a garden-hose scrub.

How Does Polyester Handle Rain, Sun, and Freezing Temps?

Polyester is synthetic all the way through, so it doesn't rot when it stays wet and it won't mildew in humid weather. UV stabilization means the teal dye is locked into the fiber -- direct sun won't bleach it to pale blue over a summer. The non-skid backing grips hardwood, tile, or concrete decking without a pad, and it won't crack in cold weather the way natural rubber does. You can leave this out year-round in most climates, though in heavy snow it's easier to roll it up and store it dry so you're not chipping ice off the pattern come spring.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to, but you might want to. Polyester won't degrade if it freezes, but snow and ice buildup can trap moisture against the backing and slow the drying cycle. If your patio gets plowed or sees foot traffic all winter, the rug will handle it -- just shake off snow accumulation every few days. For decks that sit unused from November to March, rolling the rug and storing it in a dry shed or garage keeps it cleaner and easier to unroll in spring. No special prep -- just make sure it's dry before you roll it so you don't trap condensation.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The ultra-thin profile fits under most patio furniture without catching on chair legs, and the non-skid backing keeps it flat even when you're dragging outdoor accent chairs around for a party. The 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. sizes anchor a full seating group, while the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. option works in front of a door or under a bistro set. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor rugs collection to layer texture, or place it under a console table in a covered porch alongside outdoor accessories like planters or lanterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- the flat weave lets water drain through, and the polyester fibers dry quickly once the rain stops. Hose it off to clean dirt or pollen and let it air dry on the deck.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent, then hang to dry or lay flat. For spot cleaning outdoors, hose off debris and let it dry in place -- no dryer needed.

Can this stay outside all year?

The polyester and UV-stabilized dye handle year-round exposure, but rolling it up and storing it dry over winter keeps snow and ice from piling on top.

Will the teal color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization locks the dye into the fiber, so the teal stays true through full summers of sun. You'll see normal wear over years, but not the fast bleaching you get with untreated fabric.

How do I store it over winter?

Make sure the rug is completely dry, then roll it loosely and store it in a shed, garage, or covered space. No need to wrap it -- polyester doesn't attract moths.

Does the backing damage hardwood floors?

No -- the non-skid backing grips without adhesive and won't leave residue or scratches on sealed hardwood or tile.
