Liora Green Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

This flat-weave polyester rug handles rain without holding water, and its UV-stabilized fibers resist the sun fade that turns outdoor rugs dingy after one season. The Liora Green striped washable rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can throw the whole thing in a washing machine when it gets dirty, which is why it works for poolside, covered porches, and patios where hose-down cleaning isn't practical.

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

The polyester fibers are treated with a UV stabilizer that prevents the green stripe pattern from fading when the rug sits in direct sun. Polyester doesn't absorb moisture the way natural fibers do, so rain and poolside splashes dry quickly instead of soaking in and creating mildew. The flat weave speeds up evaporation -- water doesn't sit trapped in a pile. You're not coating this with protectant every spring; the stabilization is engineered into the fiber itself. It won't last forever outdoors, but it handles a full season of sun and summer storms better than untreated synthetics that bleach out by August.

Can You Really Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes, if your washer drum is large enough for the size you buy. Use cold water and mild detergent, and let it air dry flat or hang it over a railing. The polyester won't shrink or warp the way wool or cotton can. This is the practical advantage over rugs you have to scrub on the driveway or pay to have steam cleaned -- when dirt, pollen, or pet accidents happen, you pull it off the patio and run it through a wash cycle. The flat weave and synthetic fiber mean no special care beyond cold water.

Where Does a Washable Striped Rug Work Best?

It fits anywhere you need a rug that can get wet and be cleaned without hassle -- under a bistro set on a balcony, in front of a sliding door that opens to a deck, poolside where people walk barefoot, or layered under outdoor accent chairs. The non-skid backing keeps it from sliding on tile or wood decking. The ultra-thin profile lets doors swing over it without catching. If you're pulling together a covered porch, it anchors seating the way an outdoor rug should, and the green stripe works with both modern metal furniture and traditional wicker. Eight sizes mean you can run a 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. runner down a narrow walkway or cover a full lounge area with the 10 ft. x 14 ft. option. Pair it with outdoor accessories that also resist weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

This one can -- the polyester flat weave dries quickly and the fibers don't retain moisture, so rain and splashes won't cause mildew or rot.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Wash it in a standard machine on cold with mild detergent, then air dry flat or hang it to drip dry. The polyester won't shrink.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can stay out through summer and mild fall, but bring it in or roll it up before heavy snow or extended freezing rain to prevent ice damage and extend its life.

Will the green stripe fade in direct sun?

The UV stabilization slows fading, but no outdoor polyester rug is permanently colorfast. You'll see some lightening after a full season of intense sun.

Does the non-skid backing work on a wood deck?

Yes, it grips smooth wood, tile, and concrete to keep the rug from sliding underfoot.
