Malia Gray Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Polyester flat weave with UV-stabilized dyes means this rug can sit on a sunny deck all summer without fading or hold up to kitchen spills and muddy paws without staining. The Malia Gray Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug features a vintage Sarouk medallion pattern in gray and ivory, and it's available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The ultra-thin profile and non-skid latex backing let you use it indoors or out, and when it gets dirty you toss it in the washer -- no professional cleaning, no scrubbing, no waiting for it to dry for days.

How Well Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV-stabilized fibers resist fading even when the rug sits in direct sun on a covered patio or in a south-facing room all year. Polyester flat weave sheds water fast, so rain or hose rinse won't soak through and sit -- the rug dries in hours, not days. The fiber won't mildew or rot the way natural-fiber rugs do when they stay damp, and the stain-resistant finish means spilled drinks, pet accidents, and tracked-in dirt rinse away instead of setting in.

Do You Have to Take It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it on a covered porch or deck all year -- the polyester won't freeze-crack or degrade in cold weather. If the rug sits in an uncovered area where snow and ice accumulate, roll it up and store it in a dry garage or shed to keep the backing from peeling. Before you store it, machine wash cold with mild detergent, lay flat or hang to dry completely, then roll and store upright in a cool, dry spot away from heaters or damp basements.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The non-skid latex backing holds firm on composite decking, tile, and painted concrete without sliding, so you can use it under a dining set or in front of a seating group. Layer it in high-traffic zones like poolside decks, mudroom entries, and galley kitchens where dirt and moisture are constant. The gray-and-ivory palette pairs with wicker and teak pieces from the outdoor accent chairs collection, and the vintage medallion pattern coordinates with coastal or farmhouse styling from the outdoor accessories collection. Use the 5' x 7'6" or 8' x 10' size under a sofa or lounge set, or choose the 2'3" x 7'6" runner for hallways and narrow porches.
