Paelius Green Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

A flat weave polyester rug that you can machine wash sounds too convenient to hold up on a covered patio, but UV-stabilized fibers and quick-drying construction make this one work where rain and spills are routine. The Paelius green washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The ultra-thin profile fits under doors without bunching, and non-skid latex backing holds it in place on tile, concrete or hardwood.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Its Color Under Sun?

Yes -- the finish is treated to resist fading when the rug is placed under a covered patio roof or pergola that blocks direct noon sun. Polyester dries faster than natural fibers after rain blows in, so you're not waiting days for the pile to stop squishing underfoot. UV stabilization doesn't mean the rug can sit in full desert sun for years without dulling, but it will handle dappled shade and morning light on a deck without bleaching out in one season. Stain resistance is built into the fiber, not a spray-on coating that wears off after cleaning.

Can You Actually Put This in a Washing Machine?

You can -- cold water, mild detergent, air dry flat or hang it on a line. The flat weave construction means there's no thick pile to mat or twist, and the ultra-thin 0.08-inch profile fits in a standard residential washer for the smaller sizes. For the 9 x 12 ft. and 10 x 14 ft. rugs, hose them down outdoors and let them air dry, which only takes a few hours in warm weather. Never put it in the dryer; heat damages the latex backing and can shrink the weave.

Does the Backing Stay Put on Smooth Floors?

The non-skid latex grips tile and concrete well enough that the rug won't slide when you walk across it, and it doesn't scratch hardwood. An ultra-thin profile means furniture legs sit flat instead of teetering on a ridge, which matters under outdoor accent chairs or a dining table. If you're layering this over another rug or placing it on a textured surface, the backing still prevents bunching but won't suction down the way it does on smooth flooring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this polyester weave dries quickly after rain, and you can hose it off when dirt builds up. It's made for covered patios where occasional moisture is expected.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash the smaller sizes in cold water with mild detergent and air dry. Larger rugs can be hosed down outdoors and hung to dry, usually within a few hours.

Can this stay outside all year?

Only if it's under a roof -- the UV-stabilized finish resists fading in covered areas, but extended exposure to full sun and winter ice will degrade the latex backing and dull the color over time.

Will the green pattern work with natural wood furniture?

The multi-branch tree design pairs well with teak or cedar pieces and metal frames. Browse outdoor rugs and outdoor accessories to layer complementary textures.

What size rug should I put under a dining table?

The 8 x 10 ft. rug fits under a six-seat rectangular table with room for chairs to pull out, while the 8 x 8 ft. size works under a 48-inch round table on a covered patio.

Is the rug safe for pets and kids?

Stain-resistant polyester handles spills and accidents, and the ultra-thin profile eliminates tripping hazards. Machine-washable convenience means you're not paying for professional cleaning after every mess.
