Plaid Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

This flat-weave rug uses UV-stabilized polyester to resist sun fade on decks and patios, and its ultra-thin profile dries in three to four hours after rain or hosing. The plaid teal washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Machine-washable construction means you can clean mud, spills, and pet accidents in a standard home washer, and the integrated non-skid backing grips tile and hardwood without a separate pad.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

UV-stabilized polyester fibers resist color fade through five to seven years of daily sun exposure, keeping the teal plaid sharp on a covered porch or through a sunroom window. The synthetic material won't rot or mildew when it gets wet -- rain runs through the flat weave and the rug air-dries in hours instead of staying damp for days like natural fiber rugs do. It's built for moisture, so you can hose it off on the driveway or leave it out through a summer storm without damage.

Can You Really Wash This in a Home Machine?

Yes -- the 8 ft. x 8 ft. and 8 ft. x 10 ft. sizes fit in a standard washing machine on a cold-water cycle with mild detergent. The 9 ft. x 12 ft. and 10 ft. x 14 ft. rugs need a commercial washer because of their bulk, but the material handles machine agitation without unraveling or losing its backing. This saves the $150-300 you'd spend on professional cleaning for a traditional wool or cotton rug, and you can tackle fresh stains the day they happen instead of waiting weeks for an appointment.

Do You Need a Rug Pad Under This?

No, the integrated non-skid backing grips smooth floors on its own -- you'll save forty to eighty dollars by skipping a separate pad. The backing prevents the rug from sliding on tile, hardwood, or sealed concrete, which matters on a patio where furniture legs can push it around. If you're layering this over an [outdoor rug](/collections/outdoor-rug) on a deck or placing it under [outdoor accent chairs](/collections/outdoor-accent-chairs) on a stone surface, the built-in grip keeps everything stable without bunching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this outdoor rug get wet?

Yes, UV-stabilized polyester is built for rain and hosing -- the ultra-thin flat weave dries in three to four hours and won't mildew.

How do I clean an outdoor rug that's machine washable?

Wash the 8 ft. x 8 ft. and 8 ft. x 10 ft. sizes in a home machine on cold with mild detergent; use a commercial washer for the 9 ft. x 12 ft. and larger rugs.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle rain and sun year-round, but if you're in a climate with heavy snow or freezing moisture, bringing it in or storing it dry over winter extends its life.

Will the teal plaid fade in direct sun?

UV-stabilized polyester resists fade for five to seven years of daily exposure, so the color holds up on a sunny patio or through a west-facing window.

Which size rug do I need under a dining table?

Use the 9 ft. x 12 ft. size for tables seating six to eight, allowing twenty-four inches of clearance on all sides so chairs pull out without catching the edge.

Does this rug ship fully assembled or do I need to do anything when it arrives?

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