Malia Green Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester resists sun fade and moisture damage while the flat weave construction dries quickly after rain or hose-down cleaning. The Malia Green Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping handles high-traffic patios and entryways with a vintage Sarouk pattern in rich green. Toss it in the washer when you need a refresh -- the non-skid backing stays secure on tile, concrete and hardwood.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up on Patios and Sunrooms?

UV-stabilized polyester resists color fade under direct sun while repelling moisture that causes mildew in traditional wool or cotton rugs. The flat weave sheds water instead of absorbing it, so the rug dries in hours after a rainstorm or spill. Polyester's stain resistance means tracked mud, pet accidents and food drips rinse off without setting in -- a real advantage when you place the rug in front of outdoor accent chairs or under patio dining sets. This material doesn't require waterproof sealant or rotation out of sun exposure the way natural fiber outdoor rugs often do.

Can You Really Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

Yes, you can wash this rug in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then lay it flat or hang it to dry. The ultra-thin flat weave fits in most residential washing machines when you fold it, and the non-skid backing survives the wash without peeling or cracking. For larger sizes like the 9' x 12' or 10' x 14', hose off the rug outdoors and scrub with a soft brush and soapy water, then air dry. Never use a dryer -- heat damages the backing and can shrink polyester fibers. Machine washing once or twice a season keeps the vintage pattern crisp in entryways and mudrooms where foot traffic grinds in dirt.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave this rug outside year-round on a covered patio or porch, but roll it up and store it if snow and ice will sit on the surface for weeks. UV-stabilized polyester resists freeze-thaw cycles better than natural fibers, but prolonged moisture trapped under snow can still encourage mildew at the edges. If you're using the rug in an uncovered area, shake it out every few weeks during wet seasons and let it dry completely before rolling it for storage. The flat weave folds or rolls tightly without creasing, so off-season storage takes minimal closet space.
