Sylira Navy Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester holds color in full sun and air-dries in hours after a hose-down or machine wash cycle. The Sylira Navy Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug in flat-weave construction with non-skid backing is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Eight sizes from runner to 10' x 14' fit patios, sunrooms, and kitchens where spills and foot traffic happen daily.

Will UV-Stabilized Polyester Fade on a Deck or Balcony?

UV stabilization treats the polyester fiber at the extrusion stage, so the color resists breakdown from direct sunlight exposure. You can leave this rug on a south-facing balcony or uncovered deck through summer without the navy washing out to gray. The flat-weave construction doesn't trap moisture like a shag pile, so pooled rainwater drains through and the rug air-dries in a few hours, which prevents mildew growth. Polyester doesn't absorb water the way natural fibers do, so the backing stays dimensionally stable -- no curling or buckling when it dries.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside During Winter?

You can leave it outside year-round in covered areas like screened porches or under patio furniture, but prolonged exposure to standing snow and ice will shorten its lifespan. If you're in a climate with heavy freeze-thaw cycles, roll it up and store it in a dry garage or shed after the last hose-down of the season. Before storing, machine wash cold with mild detergent, air-dry completely, and roll it loose -- don't fold flat-weave rugs, because creases can become permanent. Polyester won't mildew in storage the way wool or jute does, so you don't need moisture absorbers.

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

The ultra-thin profile and non-skid backing work on tile, concrete, and hardwood, so you can anchor a bistro set on a balcony or define a seating zone in a sunroom. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection for cohesive patio groupings, or layer it under dining furniture alongside outdoor accessories like ceramic planters. Inside, the 2'3" x 7'6" runner fits galley kitchens and hallways where pets track in dirt, and the 9' x 12' anchors living room furniture with enough overhang for chair legs to stay on the rug when you pull them out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester doesn't absorb water, so you can hose it down or leave it through a rainstorm. The flat weave air-dries in hours and won't mildew.

How do I clean a machine-washable outdoor rug?

Wash cold with mild detergent on a gentle cycle, then air-dry flat or draped over a railing. Don't use bleach or fabric softener -- they break down the UV stabilization.

Can this stay outside all year in full sun?

The UV stabilization prevents fading through summer, but heavy winter snow and ice exposure will degrade the backing over time. Store it indoors if you're in a freeze-thaw climate.

Will the non-skid backing damage hardwood floors?

No -- the polyester backing grips smooth surfaces without adhesive, so it won't leave residue or scratches on sealed hardwood or tile.

What's the best size for under a dining table outdoors?

The 8' x 8' or 10' x 14' lets chairs pull out completely without catching the edge. Measure your table plus 24 inches on all sides for comfortable movement.

Does this rug come assembled or require setup?

It ships rolled and ready to unroll -- no assembly. Let it relax flat for 24 hours if there are creases from shipping.
