Stockholm Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester construction keeps this rug's Stockholm blue pattern from fading after seasons of direct sun on your deck or patio. The flat-weave build dries in two to three hours after rain, which prevents the mildew you'd get with cotton or natural fiber outdoor rugs. This Stockholm Blue washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

Will This Rug Fade in Full Sun?

No -- polyester fibers include UV inhibitors that maintain the blue coloration through continuous outdoor exposure. This stabilization blocks the UV wavelengths that bleach dye molecules in untreated fabrics. You won't see the washed-out fading common with cotton or jute after a summer of deck placement.

Can This Stay Outside When It Rains?

Yes, it's engineered to get wet and dry fast. The 0.25-inch flat weave sheds water rapidly -- typically dry within two to three hours in moderate humidity. That quick-dry performance stops mold and mildew from forming in the fibers, which is critical for any rug left on a covered porch or open patio. The polyester also resists stain absorption, so dirt and spills rinse off with a hose or mild detergent solution.

How Do You Clean a Washable Outdoor Rug?

Smaller sizes fit a standard home washing machine; larger formats need a commercial washer or professional service. Spot-clean spills with mild detergent and water before they set. The synthetic fiber structure repels liquid and won't hold odors, so pet accidents clean up completely without lingering smells. For routine maintenance, shake out debris or vacuum the flat surface, then machine wash when needed to refresh the pattern.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The ultra-thin profile clears door thresholds easily, so it transitions from sunroom to covered porch without tripping hazards. The integrated non-skid backing grips tile, hardwood, and composite deck surfaces without an additional pad, which keeps it stable under outdoor seating or tables and planters. Use the runner sizes for hallways or galley entries, or anchor a full seating arrangement with the room-size 9-by-12 or 10-by-14 options. The traditional geometric border scales appropriately across all eight size options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rug stay outside all year?

The UV-stabilized polyester handles sun and rain, but you should store it indoors during freezing winter months or heavy snow to extend its lifespan. Roll it up and keep it dry off-season.

Will the non-skid backing damage my deck?

No -- the integrated backing grips without adhesive and won't leave residue on composite, wood, or tile surfaces.

How thick is this rug compared to an indoor area rug?

At approximately 0.25 inches, it's much thinner than most indoor rugs, which helps doors swing clear and prevents tripping on transitions.

Is this rug safe for pets?

Yes -- the non-toxic polyester resists pet hair accumulation and cleans thoroughly after accidents without retaining odors.

What size should I get for a 10-by-12-foot covered patio?

The 8-by-10-foot or 9-by-12-foot size leaves a visual border around your seating arrangement; the exact choice depends on furniture placement and whether you want the rug to reach the patio edge.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, it arrives ready to unroll and place. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
