Norelia Red Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds its red color on sun-exposed decks and covered patios where standard rugs fade within a season. This flat weave construction dries fast after rain and rinses clean with a hose between machine washes. The Norelia Red Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in eight sizes from runners to 10 ft. x 14 ft. is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does UV Stabilization Protect the Color?

UV stabilization embeds light-blocking agents into the polyester fibers so they resist breaking down under direct sun. The red diamond motif stays vibrant across seasons on decks and patios, though covered placements with partial sun exposure extend the stabilization's effectiveness even further. This treatment works continuously -- you don't reapply it -- but no outdoor material is completely fade-proof, so rotating the rug or using it in partially shaded spots preserves the color longest.

Can This Rug Get Wet and Stay Outside All Year?

Yes, polyester sheds water and dries quickly, so rain won't damage the rug. The flat weave construction prevents water from pooling, and you can hose it off between deeper cleans. It handles outdoor exposure year-round in mild climates, though rolling it up and storing it dry over winter prolongs the latex backing's grip in regions with freeze-thaw cycles. If you leave it out, shake off snow and let it dry fully in spring before furniture goes back on top.

How Do I Clean a Machine Washable Outdoor Rug?

Toss it in a standard washing machine on cold with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry -- never use the dryer, because heat shrinks the latex backing. Between washes, hose it down on the driveway or shake out dirt and debris. The stain-resistant polyester repels muddy paws and spilled drinks, so most messes rinse off without scrubbing. For the larger 9 ft. x 12 ft. or 10 ft. x 14 ft. sizes, a laundromat with commercial machines handles the bulk, or you can spot-clean sections outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size should I choose for under a dining table?

Use the 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. so chairs have 24 inches of clearance when pulled out. The rug should extend past all table legs.

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

Yes, the latex backing grips wood, tile, and composite decking without a separate rug pad. Shake it out occasionally to clear grit that can dull the grip.

Does this rug hold up to pet traffic?

The stain-resistant polyester repels muddy paws and the ultra-thin pile resists snagging from claws, making it practical for households with dogs and cats.

Can I use this rug indoors and move it outside seasonally?

Absolutely -- the non-skid backing and quick-drying construction work just as well in high-traffic kitchens and living rooms as they do on patios. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection when you move it outside.

How does UV stabilization compare to indoor rugs?

Indoor rugs fade quickly in direct sun because their dyes aren't treated to block UV rays. UV-stabilized polyester resists that breakdown, so this rug keeps its red tone on sunny decks where a standard rug would bleach out.

What's the shipping and assembly process?

The rug ships rolled, with free curbside delivery to the continental USA. Unroll it flat and let it relax for a day -- no assembly required.
