Quaius Teal Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester fibers hold up to full sun, rain, and the muddy paw traffic that destroys natural-fiber rugs in one season. The Quaius Teal washable flat-weave indoor-outdoor rug resists fading through direct sunlight exposure and machine washes cold when it needs cleanup, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid latex backing grips tile, hardwood, concrete, and composite decking without a separate pad, and the ultra-thin profile dries fast after a hose rinse or spin cycle.

Will Polyester Fibers Hold Color Outdoors?

They will if they're UV-stabilized, and this rug is. The polyester in this flat weave is treated to resist the same ultraviolet degradation that bleaches unstabilized synthetics and natural fibers within a season or two of patio exposure. Teal stays vivid through cycles of rain and sun, and the stain-resistant surface sheds spills without setting permanent marks -- you hose off mud or machine wash the whole rug cold when it's dirty. The non-skid latex backing keeps it in place on smooth outdoor surfaces and indoor hardwood or tile, so you don't need a rug pad underneath.

How Do I Clean This When It Gets Dirty?

Throw it in the washing machine on a cold cycle with mild detergent, or hose it off outdoors and let it air dry. The flat-weave construction and ultra-thin profile mean water drains through instead of soaking into a thick pile, so it dries in hours rather than days. Never use a dryer -- the heat damages the latex backing and can warp the shape. For spot cleanup between washes, wipe spills with a damp cloth; the stain-resistant polyester releases most messes before they set.

Where Does a Nutcracker-Print Rug Work Best?

The Christmas nutcracker motif with holly berries, poinsettias, and snowflakes suits covered patios, mudrooms, and entryways during the holiday season, and the transitional styling keeps it from reading too kitschy against farmhouse or cottage interiors year-round. Use the smallest sizes -- 2 ft. 6 in. x 3 ft. 10 in. or 3 ft. x 5 ft. -- under pet bowls or in front of doors where you need easy cleanup, and scale up to 8 ft. x 10 ft. or 9 ft. x 12 ft. to anchor furniture groupings in covered outdoor rooms. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection or layer over larger neutral pieces in our outdoor rugs line for a seasonal accent that you can pull up and wash when winter ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this flat-weave polyester rug drains water quickly and dries fast, so rain and hose rinsing won't damage it or promote mildew.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold with mild detergent or hose it off outdoors, then air dry flat or hang it to drain. Never use a dryer.

Will the teal color fade in direct sun?

The polyester is UV-stabilized to resist fading through seasons of full sunlight exposure.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle moisture and sun, but prolonged freezing temperatures can crack the latex backing -- roll it up and store it indoors over winter in climates with hard freezes.

Does the backing need a rug pad underneath?

No, the non-skid latex backing grips tile, hardwood, concrete, and composite decking on its own.

Does this ship assembled or do I set it up?

It arrives ready to unroll and place -- no assembly. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; white-glove services are available for an additional fee upon request.
