Sofia Green Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

The polyester fibers are UV stabilized to hold their color under direct sun, while the flat-weave construction sheds rain and dries quickly enough to keep mildew from setting in. The Sofia Green Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug features traditional damask patterns available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The non-skid backing grips wet decks and smooth concrete without sliding, and the ultra-thin profile lets doors swing over it freely.

How Well Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization treats each polyester fiber to resist the wavelength that breaks down dye molecules, so the green tones and damask details hold up through seasons of direct sun exposure. Polyester itself won't absorb water the way natural fibers do -- when rain hits the flat weave, it drains through the 0.25-inch profile and dries fast, cutting down the damp window that lets mildew grow. The built-in stain resistant treatment sheds spills and muddy paw prints before they bond to the fiber. You're still looking at an outdoor rug that will show wear over years of hard use, but the material engineering keeps fading and moisture damage off the list of concerns for a long stretch.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it out if the installation is covered and well-drained, but bringing it in or rolling it up dry extends its life. If you're keeping it outside over winter, hose it down and let it dry completely before the first freeze -- standing water that freezes and thaws will stress even weather-resistant backing. For off-season storage, wash it cold in your home machine, air dry it thoroughly, then roll it and store it somewhere dry and protected from rodents. The stain resistant treatment and UV stabilization both work better when the rug isn't sitting wet under snow for months. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection for a cohesive covered-patio setup that makes end-of-season care simpler.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- this flat-weave polyester construction drains water quickly and dries fast, so rain and hose cleaning won't damage the fibers or backing.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Machine wash it cold in your home washer and air dry, or hose it down outside and let it dry flat. The stain resistant treatment handles most spills without deep scrubbing.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle weather, but off-season storage or covering extends its life -- standing freeze-thaw cycles and months of wet snow will wear the backing faster than a dry winter indoors.

Will the color fade in direct sun?

The UV stabilized polyester resists fading significantly better than untreated fibers, keeping the green tones and damask pattern visible through multiple seasons of sun exposure.

Does the non-skid backing work on wet surfaces?

Yes -- it's engineered to grip smooth decks, concrete, and tile even when damp, reducing slip risk around pools and under outdoor dining setups like those in our outdoor accessories collection.

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

It arrives ready to use -- unroll it and place it. Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; setup and placement are not included.
