Solara Black Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Machine washable flat-weave polyester handles UV exposure and rain without fading or warping, so you can place it on an open patio and hose it down when dirt accumulates. The Solara Black Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is a flat-weave polyester rug available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing grips tile and hardwood without slipping, while the ultra-thin profile slides under doors and furniture with no buckling.

How Well Does Polyester Hold Up Against Sun and Rain?

UV-stabilized polyester resists color fade through full summers on west-facing decks and covered porches. The flat-weave construction wicks moisture after rainstorms or hose cleaning, drying quickly enough to prevent mildew in humid climates. Polyester fibers don't absorb water the way natural jute or cotton does, so the rug won't warp or develop mold when dew settles overnight. You'll see the black Aztec pattern retain its depth across multiple seasons without bleaching under afternoon sun.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave the rug on a covered porch or under an awning year-round where it stays dry, but prolonged exposure to standing snow and ice will shorten its lifespan. If you're using it on an open deck, roll it up and store it indoors once freezing rain starts. For spring cleaning, toss it in the washing machine on cold with mild detergent, then hang to dry outdoors -- never use high heat or bleach, which damages polyester fibers and the backing adhesive.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 8' x 10' and 9' x 12' sizes anchor seating groups on covered patios when paired with pieces from the outdoor accent chairs collection, while the 2'3" x 7'6" runner fits narrow deck walkways and entryways. The neutral black Aztec motif works with teak furniture and concrete planters, and it layers well over sisal indoors if you're extending the look into the living room. Browse the outdoor rugs collection for coordinating patterns, or add durability to a seating vignette with items from outdoor accessories that handle the same weather exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester wicks water and dries quickly after rain or hosing, preventing mildew and warping.

How do I clean this outdoor rug?

Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with mild detergent, then lay flat or hang to dry outdoors. You can also hose it off on the patio and let it air dry.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can stay on a covered porch or awning year-round, but you should store it indoors if you're in a region with standing snow and ice.

Will the black color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization protects against fading through full summers, though all outdoor textiles show gradual lightening after 5--7 years of daily exposure.

How do I store it over winter?

Roll it up loosely and keep it in a dry garage or basement -- avoid folding tight creases that stress the backing.

What comes with my order, and is assembly included for free?

You'll receive the rug with non-skid backing already attached, no assembly needed. Standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free; white-glove services are available upon request for an additional fee.
