Sylira Chocolate Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

Machine-washable polyester handles spills, wet paws, and full sun without the breakdown you'd see from natural fibers exposed to moisture. The Sylira Chocolate Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug delivers UV-stabilized flat weave construction in a transitional chocolate stripe pattern, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The non-skid backing holds the rug in place on tile, hardwood, and composite decking without a separate pad, and the ultra-thin profile dries fast after you hose it down or run it through a standard washing machine.

How Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

UV stabilization chemically bonds into the polyester fibers so the chocolate colorway won't bleach to tan after a season of direct sunlight. Polyester itself resists moisture absorption, which means the rug won't mildew when it sits wet on a covered porch or gets caught in an afternoon storm. The flat weave sheds water instead of holding it like a looped pile would, so you can hose debris off the surface and have a dry rug by evening. That same construction prevents the fiber breakdown that ruins untreated rugs left outdoors year-round.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to pull this rug in when temperatures drop, but you'll extend its life if you do. Polyester won't rot or crack in freezing weather, though snow and ice sitting on the surface for months will stress the non-skid backing. If you leave it out, shake off snow accumulation and let it dry between storms. For off-season storage, machine wash it on cold with mild detergent, air dry it completely, then roll it and store it somewhere dry -- a garage shelf or basement closet works fine.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or in the House?

The 8 ft. x 8 ft. square size fits under a round patio dining table, while the 2 ft. 3 in. x 7 ft. 6 in. runner suits a galley kitchen or the length of a covered porch. Use the 3 ft. x 5 ft. as a mudroom entry mat that tolerates wet boots, or place the 5 ft. x 7 ft. 6 in. under a dining set seating four to six. The transitional stripe works with outdoor accent chairs in natural teak or powder-coated metal, and it layers well with pieces from the outdoor accessories collection when you want to carry the look through adjacent rooms. Pair it with a few items from the outdoor wall art collection if you're finishing a three-season room or sunroom, and browse the full outdoor rugs selection to compare other sizes and patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester resists moisture and the flat weave dries quickly after rain, hosing, or spills.

How do I clean this outdoor rug?

Hose off outdoor debris, then machine wash on cold with mild detergent and air dry flat or hanging. Don't use a dryer, as heat can shrink the backing.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can handle year-round outdoor placement, but you'll extend its life by storing it dry over winter in climates with heavy snow and ice.

Will the chocolate stripe fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization is built into the polyester fibers, so the color resists fading even in full sun placements.

Does the non-skid backing work on composite decking?

Yes -- the backing prevents shifting on composite, tile, and hardwood without a separate rug pad.

What's included with standard shipping?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA; the rug arrives rolled and ready to place with no assembly required.
