Iris Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester keeps this rug's teal colorway from fading when you leave it on a sunny deck all season. Machine washable construction means you throw it in the washer with cold water after muddy paws or a patio party -- no scrubbing, no permanent stains. The Iris Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

The polyester fibers are stabilized during manufacturing to resist UV degradation, so the teal pattern won't bleach or turn gray in direct sunlight. Flat weave construction sheds water instead of holding it, and the synthetic material dries completely within hours after rain or hose cleaning. The stain-resistant surface coating repels spills and prevents dirt from embedding in the fibers -- what doesn't wipe off washes out. You're looking at a rug that handles weather exposure and high traffic without the fade or mildew problems natural-fiber rugs develop outdoors.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it out through light winter weather, but snow and ice loads will eventually compress the flat weave and hold moisture against the backing. Bring it in before the first hard freeze, shake it out, and machine wash it in cold water with mild detergent -- the ultra-thin profile means it dries fast. Store it rolled (never folded; creases show) in a dry space. If you're in a mild climate with no freeze cycles, hose it down monthly and let it air-dry in place.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The non-skid backing keeps it flat on wood decking, concrete, and tile without bunching or sliding underfoot. Position a 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. or 8 ft. x 10 ft. size under your outdoor accent chairs and dining table, leaving 24 inches of clearance for chair pull-out. Runners (2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in.) define walkways and transition zones between seating areas, and they fit naturally alongside outdoor accessories like planters or side tables. The modern geometric pattern in teal pairs with neutral cushions and charcoal frames -- add a layer from our outdoor rugs collection for visual depth, or use it solo to anchor a conversation set. The ultra-thin flat weave slides under most door thresholds, so it transitions cleanly from patio to sunroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- the polyester flat weave sheds water and dries within hours, so rain and hose cleaning won't damage it.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent, then air-dry or tumble on low heat. The ultra-thin profile dries quickly.

Can this stay outside all year?

It handles spring through fall weather, but bring it in before the first hard freeze to prevent ice damage and moisture buildup under the backing.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

No -- UV-stabilized polyester resists color fade and sun degradation even in full-day exposure.

How do I store it over winter?

Wash it, let it dry completely, then roll it (never fold) and store in a dry indoor space.

Does it need a rug pad underneath?

The non-skid backing prevents slipping on most surfaces, but a pad adds cushioning if you want softer footing on hard concrete or tile.
