Paelien Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Pet owners and households juggling foot traffic need an outdoor rug that doesn't mildew when it rains or fade when it bakes in full sun all summer. The Paelien Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in UV-stabilized polyester is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Flat-weave construction sheds water fast enough that it'll dry in hours after a downpour or hose-down, and the non-skid backing grips hardwood, tile and composite decking.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade if You Leave It in Full Sun?

UV stabilization bonds light blockers directly into the polyester fiber so color stays put through seasons of direct exposure. You won't see the bleached-out blues or grays that hit untreated synthetics by August. The flat weave also resists moisture and mildew -- rain drains through instead of sitting in pile loops -- so you're not peeling a soggy mat off the deck after a storm.

Can You Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug Without Wrecking It?

Wash this rug cold with mild detergent, then lay it flat or hang it to dry. The ultra-thin 0.25-inch profile means there's no thick pile holding water, so it dries faster than traditional rugs. For outdoor rugs used on patios, you can hose it off in place and let it air-dry on the deck. The stain-resistant polyester sheds spills and muddy paw prints before they set, so most cleaning happens with water and no scrubbing.

Where Does a Flat-Weave Outdoor Rug Work Best?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. size fits under a 72-inch dining table with 24 inches of rug extending past the chair backs, while the 9 ft. x 12 ft. anchors a sectional with front legs on and back legs off. Covered porches, pool decks and entryways exposed to weather all work -- the non-skid backing won't budge under foot traffic or furniture. The contemporary geometric pattern pairs with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs and outdoor accessories collections if you're building a covered patio setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this flat-weave polyester rug drains water instead of soaking it up, so it dries within hours after rain. The UV-stabilized fibers won't rot or mildew when wet.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent and lay flat to dry, or hose it off outdoors and let it air-dry on the deck. The stain-resistant surface repels most spills before they set.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle rain and sun, but snow and ice buildup can stress the backing over time. Roll it and store it indoors during extended freezing weather if your winters are harsh.

Will the blue fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization protects the colorway from sun fade across full seasons of direct exposure. You won't see the washed-out look that hits untreated synthetics.

Is delivery included?

Standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free. White-glove setup and in-home placement are available for an additional fee upon request.

What's the thinnest outdoor rug you carry?

This rug's 0.25-inch pile is about as thin as outdoor rugs get, which is why it dries so fast and fits under doors without catching.
