Laeanor Brown Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Machine-washable polyester with UV stabilization handles direct sun and rain without fading or mildew, so you can throw it in the wash after muddy paws or patio spills. The Laeanor Brown Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug offers flat-weave construction in five sizes from 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. to 10 ft. x 14 ft., available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-slip backing grips tile, hardwood or decking without a separate pad, and the ultra-thin 0.1-inch profile dries in hours after washing.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization locks color into the polyester fibers so direct sun doesn't bleach the brown tones or distressed border over three to five outdoor seasons. Synthetic polyester also repels moisture instead of absorbing it, which stops mildew from forming in damp conditions the way wool or cotton rugs do. You can hose the rug down outdoors or machine-wash it cold when it needs a deeper clean -- either way, it air-dries in a few hours because the flat weave holds almost no water.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it out all year if the rug stays on a covered porch or under a patio roof that blocks standing water and heavy snow. For uncovered decks, roll it up and store it dry before freeze-thaw cycles start, since ice can stress the non-slip backing over time. When it's time to wash, use cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then lay it flat or hang it to air-dry -- never put it in the dryer, because heat damages the polyester backing that keeps it from sliding.

Where Does This Work Best Under Outdoor Furniture?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. size anchors a dining set on a covered patio, while the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. option fits under a bench in an entryway or on a small balcony. Indoors, the 9 ft. x 12 ft. rug works in a family room where pets track in dirt, and the brown colorway pairs naturally with teak or wicker pieces in your outdoor accent chairs collection or leather sofas inside. The global motifs and distressed border add texture without requiring matched outdoor accessories, and the ultra-thin profile lets doors swing over it without catching. If you're layering rugs across a patio and living room, our outdoor rug collection includes coordinating sizes, and the Designing Your Dream Outdoor Living Space guide walks through scale and placement for multi-zone layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester repels water and dries quickly, so rain or hose cleaning won't cause mildew or fading as long as you let it air-dry afterward.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it down and scrub with mild detergent for surface dirt, or machine-wash cold on a gentle cycle for deeper cleaning, then air-dry flat.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can stay out year-round on a covered porch, but you should roll it up and store it dry before winter if it's on an uncovered deck exposed to ice.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization prevents fading for three to five seasons of full sun exposure on a patio or deck.

Can you put a washable rug in the dryer?

No -- heat damages the non-slip backing, so you need to lay it flat or hang it to air-dry.

Does the rug need a separate pad?

No, the integrated non-slip polyester backing grips hardwood, tile and composite decking without a pad underneath.
