Petala Plum Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds its color through full-sun exposure and dries fast after rain -- this flat weave construction won't mildew or hold water like a traditional pile rug. The Petala Plum Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, brings vibrant plum waves to covered porches, patios, and high-traffic indoor rooms without fading or trapping moisture. The non-skid backing grips tile, wood, and concrete securely, and you can machine wash it or hose it clean when tracked-in dirt builds up.

What Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Actually Resist?

UV stabilization means the fiber itself has been treated to block the sun's rays from breaking down the dye molecules. You'll see the plum tone hold up on a west-facing porch or poolside all season without bleaching to pink or gray. Polyester also shrugs off moisture -- rain beads on the surface instead of soaking through, so the rug dries in an hour or two once the sun's out. It won't rot, rust, or mildew the way natural fibers can when they stay damp. The flat weave design means there's no thick pile to trap water, dirt, or pet hair.

Can You Leave This Outside All Year?

You can, but whether you should depends on your winter. The polyester and UV treatment handle rain and sun year-round, but prolonged snow cover or standing ice can stress the backing over time. If you're in a climate with heavy freeze-thaw cycles, roll it up and store it dry once the temperature consistently drops below freezing. For milder regions or covered patios, it's fine to leave out. Hose it off before storing if dirt has built up, and make sure it's completely dry before you roll it -- any trapped moisture can cause mildew in storage even though the rug itself resists it outdoors.

How Do You Actually Clean a Machine Washable Outdoor Rug?

Smaller sizes (up to 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in.) fit in a standard home washer -- use cold water and mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry. The ultra-thin profile dries fast without a dryer. For the larger sizes, take it outside and hose it down on a driveway or deck, scrub with a soft brush if needed, then prop it up to air out. The flat weave sheds dirt easily, so most spills wipe up before they set. Pet accidents and muddy paws rinse clean without leaving stains in the polyester.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this polyester flat weave is designed to get rained on. It dries in an hour or two and won't mildew or rot.

Will the plum color fade in direct sun?

The UV stabilization protects the dye from breaking down, so the color holds up through full-sun exposure season after season.

How do I store it over winter?

Hose it clean, let it dry completely, then roll it up and store it in a dry spot. Never store it damp.

Does the non-skid backing work on wood decks?

Yes, it grips wood, tile, and concrete without slipping or needing a separate rug pad.

What size works under a patio dining table?

The 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. gives you enough coverage so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.

Is assembly or setup included with delivery?

Free curbside delivery is included; no assembly is required. White-glove services are available for an additional fee upon request.
