Stripes Navy Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester and built-in non-skid backing make this rug practical for patios that get wet and indoor entryways where pets track mud. The Stripes Navy Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in navy from Addison Rugs is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The flat weave construction dries quickly after hosing down or machine washing, and the polyester fibers resist fading in full sun for years.

How Well Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outside?

UV stabilization prevents the navy dye from bleaching in direct sun, so the stripe pattern stays crisp through multiple summers on a covered porch or open patio. Polyester doesn't absorb moisture the way natural fibers do, which means rain runs off and the rug air-dries in hours instead of staying damp for days. That quick-dry behavior stops mildew from forming, even in humid climates or under patio furniture where airflow is limited. The material won't warp or shrink when it gets soaked, so you can hose it off or leave it out during a storm without worrying about warping.

Can You Machine Wash This Rug?

Yes -- use cold water, mild detergent, and air-dry it flat. The 8 ft. x 8 ft. and 8 ft. x 10 ft. sizes fit most home washers, but the 9 ft. x 12 ft. and 10 ft. x 14 ft. options need a commercial machine at a laundromat. Never put it in the dryer; heat damages the non-skid backing and can melt polyester fibers. For spot cleaning between washes, scrub with a soft brush and soapy water, then rinse with a hose. The ultra-thin flat weave means there's no pile to trap dirt, so most debris shakes out or rinses away easily.

Where Does a Flat-Weave Navy Stripe Rug Work Best?

The non-skid backing grips tile, concrete, and wood decking without a separate pad, so it's secure under dining tables on a covered patio or in a sunroom where furniture gets moved around. The navy horizontal stripe complements natural teak and wicker from our outdoor accent chairs and pairs with white or gray cushions in any outdoor rug setup. Indoors, it handles mudrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic hallways where spills and wet shoes are routine -- the quick-dry flat weave means you're not walking on a damp surface hours after mopping or tracking in rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes, UV-stabilized polyester sheds water and dries in a few hours, so rain or hose cleaning won't damage it.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Shake out loose debris, hose off dirt, or machine wash in cold water with mild detergent, then air-dry flat -- never use heat.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can, but storing it indoors over winter extends its lifespan by limiting UV exposure and preventing ice from settling in the weave.

Will the navy color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization resists fading for 5-7 years, though some lightening is normal in unshaded areas after prolonged exposure.

What size do I need under a dining table?

Choose a rug that extends 24 inches beyond the table edge on all sides so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out; the 8 ft. x 8 ft. fits a 60-inch round table.

Does this need a rug pad?

No, the integrated non-skid backing grips hard floors without slipping, so you don't need a separate pad on tile, concrete, or wood.
