Kaelas Gold Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester flat weave handles sun, rain and repeated washings without color fade or mildew buildup. The Kaelas gold washable rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Cold-cycle machine washable construction makes this rug practical for wet patios, entryways and pet zones where stains happen daily.

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

UV stabilization locks the gold hue so months of patio sun won't bleach the fibers. Polyester repels moisture instead of absorbing it, which stops mold and mildew from taking hold in shaded corners. The flat weave dries fast after a downpour -- water runs through instead of pooling in pile fibers -- and the non-skid polyester backing grips tile, concrete or hardwood without a separate pad.

Can I Machine Wash This, or Does It Need to Be Hosed Off?

You can do both. Polyester tolerates cold-cycle machine washing with mild detergent, so spills from pet accidents or patio meals wash out completely. For lighter dirt, a hose rinse works -- the 0.15-inch pile releases debris easily, and the rug air-dries in a few hours. Never use dryer heat; lay flat or hang to dry instead.

Will This Non-Skid Backing Stay Put on My Deck or Tile?

The non-skid polyester backing grips smooth surfaces like tile, painted concrete and sealed hardwood without slipping underfoot. The ultra-thin 0.15-inch profile fits under doors and doesn't create a tripping edge. Use the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. size in galley kitchens or covered porches, the 8 ft. x 8 ft. option under round dining tables, and the 9 ft. x 12 ft. or 10 ft. x 14 ft. sizes to anchor outdoor accent chairs or define seating zones on open patios. The gold lace-overlay motif pairs with teak or charcoal furniture from our outdoor rug collection, and the neutral tone works under glass coffee tables or alongside weather-resistant outdoor wall art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- UV-stabilized polyester repels water and dries quickly, so rain and hose cleaning won't damage the fibers or backing.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent, then lay flat to air-dry, or hose off and let the flat weave drain and dry on the patio.

Can this stay outside all year?

UV stabilization and mildew resistance allow year-round outdoor use, though rolling and storing it during heavy snow extends its life.

Will the gold color fade in direct sun?

UV-stabilized polyester prevents sun bleaching through multiple seasons of full-sun exposure.

How do I store it over winter?

Roll the rug clean and dry, then store it in a shed or garage -- the polyester resists mildew even in unheated spaces.

Is assembly or a rug pad required?

No assembly -- unroll and place. The non-skid backing grips most surfaces without a separate pad, and the rug ships with free curbside delivery to the continental USA.
