Maearis Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug - Weather Resistant

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds teal pigment through full-sun exposure on uncovered patios and decks, and the flat weave dries fast enough after rain that mildew won't take hold. The Maearis Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Machine washable construction means you hose it down outside or run it through a standard washer when tracked-in mud builds up.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Keep the Color From Fading?

UV stabilizers bonded into the polyester fiber scatter ultraviolet rays before they break down the dye molecules, so the teal stays vibrant season after season in direct sun. You'll see that protection matter most on west-facing decks and pool surrounds where afternoon light is strongest. The synthetic fiber itself won't rot or degrade from moisture the way natural fibers do, and the ultra-thin 0.08-inch pile lets air move through so water doesn't pool underneath after a storm.

Can You Leave This Outside All Year, or Does It Need to Come In?

The rug handles rain, snow, and freezing temperatures without damage -- polyester won't mildew, and the non-skid backing stays bonded through freeze-thaw cycles. That said, if you're in a climate with heavy snow cover for months, rolling it up and storing it dry will add years to its life. For milder winters or covered patios, it's fine left in place. When it's time to clean, machine wash cold with mild detergent and hang it to air dry -- never put it in the dryer, because heat can shrink the backing.

Where on a Deck or Patio Does This Work Best?

The 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. size anchors a pair of outdoor accent chairs in a conversation nook, while the 9 ft. x 12 ft. centers under a dining set with room for chairs to slide back. If you're layering textures, pair the distressed block pattern with solid-color cushions from the outdoor accessories collection or hang geometric pieces from the outdoor wall art line to echo the teal. The non-skid backing grips tile, painted concrete, and composite decking without a pad, so it won't slide when foot traffic picks up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- the flat weave and ultra-thin pile let water drain through and dry quickly, preventing mold growth even in humid climates.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent, then hang or lay flat to air dry. You can also hose it down outside and let it dry in the sun.

Will the teal fade in direct sun?

No -- UV stabilizers in the polyester fiber protect the dye from breaking down under continuous sun exposure.

Does this rug work for pets and kids?

Yes -- the stain-resistant coating repels spills and muddy paws, and the whole rug washes clean in a standard machine.

Can you put this in the dryer after washing?

No -- air drying prevents shrinkage and keeps the non-skid backing intact. Heat from a dryer can damage both.

Is the rug slippery on tile or concrete?

No -- the non-skid backing grips smooth surfaces without an additional pad, so it stays put in high-traffic zones.
