Selene Ivory Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

The Selene Ivory rug's UV-stabilized polyester fibers hold up to direct sun and rain without breaking down or fading the way cotton or natural fibers would. Its machine-washable construction and quick-dry design make the same rug work in any high-traffic spot -- a covered patio, a living room near the kids' play area, or right inside the door where wet shoes land. The Selene Ivory Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Polyester Handle Rain and Sun Exposure?

UV-stabilized polyester resists the color fade and fiber breakdown that full-sun exposure causes in untreated fabrics. The synthetic fibers shed moisture instead of absorbing it, so the rug dries quickly after a rainstorm and won't harbor mold or mildew the way jute or wool can. That flat weave construction lets air circulate so nothing sits damp underneath, and the non-skid rubber backing stays stable on deck boards or tile even when wet.

Can You Just Throw This in the Washing Machine?

Yes -- toss it in with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry. The polyester fibers release dirt and stains easily, so a regular wash keeps the rug looking fresh without special treatments or professional cleaning. This makes it practical for homes with pets or for placement in areas where spills and tracked-in mud are part of daily life. Between washes, you can hose it down outside or shake it out; the quick-dry fibers mean it's ready to use again in a few hours.

Where Does an Ultra-Thin Rug Work Best?

At 0.125 inches thick, this rug fits under furniture and doors without creating a trip hazard or blocking the swing. That low profile makes it ideal for layering under an outdoor accent chair or defining a dining zone on a patio without interfering with chair movement. Inside, it works well in entryways and kitchens where you need something that stays flat and won't bunch up. The non-skid backing keeps it in place on smooth surfaces, and the ivory abstract pattern ties together outdoor accessories and furniture across your covered porch or open deck. You can pair it with other pieces from our outdoor rugs collection to zone different activity areas without a heavy visual boundary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rug get wet?

Yes -- the polyester fibers shed water and dry quickly, so rain or a garden hose won't damage it. The open weave and rubber backing allow air circulation so moisture doesn't pool underneath.

Will the ivory color fade in direct sun?

The fibers are UV-stabilized to resist fading, but prolonged intense sun over multiple seasons can lighten any outdoor fabric gradually. Placing the rug in partial shade or under a pergola extends its color life.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle rain and sun, but we recommend rolling it up and storing it dry during prolonged freezing weather or heavy snow to prevent wear on the backing and keep it looking new longer.

How do you clean muddy paw prints or spills?

Wipe fresh spills immediately with a damp cloth, or hose the rug down outside and let it air dry. For deeper stains, machine wash in cold water and hang to dry.

Does the rubber backing work on a wood deck?

Yes -- the non-skid backing grips deck boards, composite decking, and tile without slipping, and it won't trap moisture against the surface because air circulates through the flat weave.

Is standard delivery free, or does it cost extra?

Standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free. White-glove services like in-room placement or packaging removal are optional add-ons available for an additional fee upon request.
