Norelia Black Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds its color and resists mildew on covered patios, decks, and porches where rain and direct sun used to wreck natural-fiber rugs. The Norelia Black Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in a geometric diamond motif is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Flat-weave construction drains water fast after a downpour or hose cleaning, and the non-skid rubber backing grips tile, wood and concrete.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outside?

UV stabilizers built into the polyester fibers slow the breakdown of dye molecules, so the black stays black even on a south-facing balcony. Synthetic polyester won't rot or mildew the way jute or sisal will when they stay damp, and the flat weave sheds water instead of holding it. You're looking at years of color retention on a covered patio -- not months.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

It's rated for outdoor use, but you'll extend its life if you roll it up over winter in climates with heavy freeze-thaw cycles. Ice melt salts can be hard on the rubber backing, and snow that piles on top traps moisture. Hose it down before you store it, let it dry flat, then roll it loosely and keep it in a shed or garage. If your winters are mild and the rug lives under a roof, you can leave it out -- just sweep off standing water after storms.

What's the Easiest Way to Clean It?

Shake it out weekly, hose it down monthly, and machine wash it when spills or muddy paw prints build up. Use cold water and mild detergent, then hang it on a fence or lay it flat to air dry -- don't put it in the dryer, because heat can shrink the rubber backing. The flat weave dries in a few hours on a sunny day. Stains from coffee, wine or dirt lift out easily because polyester doesn't absorb liquids the way wool does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester flat weave drains fast and resists mildew, so rain and hose cleaning won't hurt it.

Will the black fade in direct sun?

UV stabilizers slow fading, but full-day sun on an uncovered deck will lighten it over time. Best color retention happens under a roof or pergola.

Which size works under a four-person patio table?

The 5' x 7'6" or 8' x 8' lets chairs slide out without catching on the edge. Browse the full outdoor rugs collection to compare layouts.

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

Yes -- the rubber grips sealed wood, composite, tile and concrete without adhesive.

How do I store it over winter?

Hose it clean, let it dry completely, roll it loosely, and keep it in a garage or shed away from ice melt and standing water.

Does it ship assembled, or is there setup?

It ships rolled and ready to unroll -- no assembly. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA.
