Taelaris Navy Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester fibers keep this flat weave rug from fading on covered patios and sunrooms, and quick-drying construction means it'll be dry hours after a rainstorm or hosing off tracked-in dirt. The Addison Rugs Taelaris navy washable indoor-outdoor rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Stain-resistant synthetic material handles pet accidents and spilled drinks, and the non-skid backing grips tile, wood and concrete without a separate pad.

How Well Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Handle Sun and Rain?

UV stabilization protects the navy color from bleaching under direct sun, which matters on west-facing patios and poolside placements where afternoon light hits hardest. Polyester is non-absorbent, so water beads on the surface instead of soaking in -- you'll see puddles sit on top after rain, then evaporate or run off within a few hours. The flat weave construction doesn't trap moisture the way a plush pile does, which keeps mildew from forming in humid climates. This rug won't rust or corrode, and the synthetic fibers don't rot when wet.

Can You Really Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug?

You can -- run it through a cold cycle with mild detergent, then lay it flat or hang it to dry. The ultra-thin flat weave fits in most home machines for sizes up to 5' x 7'6"; larger sizes need a commercial front-loader or outdoor hosing. Never use high heat in a dryer, because that damages the non-slip backing and can warp the rug. For quick cleanup between washes, hose it off on the driveway and let it air-dry for a few hours. Machine washing resets stain-resistant performance after spills.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 8' x 10' size anchors a 60-inch dining table, the 5' x 7'6' fits beside a pool or under a conversation set, and runners like the 2'3" x 7'6" work on narrow balconies or hallways leading to the backyard. An ultra-thin profile means the rug fits under doors and won't trip barefoot traffic on deck boards. Navy pairs with natural teak and white aluminum frames across our outdoor accent chairs collection, and the transitional stripe complements modern farmhouse and coastal styles in outdoor rugs. Layer it over concrete or composite decking, or bring it indoors for high-traffic kitchens and entryways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes -- polyester is non-absorbent, so water sits on the surface and evaporates or drains off. The flat weave dries in hours after rain or hosing.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Hose it off on the driveway for quick cleaning, or machine wash cold with mild detergent and air-dry flat. Never use high heat in a dryer.

Can this stay outside all year?

It can on a covered patio or sunroom, but prolonged exposure to standing water and freezing temperatures shortens lifespan. Roll it up and store it dry over winter in climates with heavy snow.

Will the navy color fade in direct sun?

UV stabilization protects against fading, though no outdoor fabric stays perfectly vibrant forever. Expect slow, even color change over multiple seasons in full sun.

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

The 8' x 10' works under a 60-inch round or rectangular table with room for chairs to pull out. The 9' x 12' fits larger tables with six to eight seats.

Is shipping really free?

Yes -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA. No assembly required; unroll and place the rug where you want it.
