Tharne Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug

Details at a Glance

UV-stabilized polyester handles direct sun without color fade, and the flat-weave construction air-dries in two to four hours after rain or a machine wash. The Tharne Blue Washable Indoor-Outdoor Rug is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Non-skid backing grips smooth concrete, composite decking, and tile without needing a separate pad.

How Well Does UV-Stabilized Polyester Hold Up Outside?

The polyester fibers are treated during manufacture to resist ultraviolet degradation, so the blue tones stay consistent through multiple seasons on an uncovered patio or poolside. UV stabilization prevents the chalking and brittleness that untreated synthetics develop after a summer of full sun. The flat weave promotes air circulation through the entire thickness, so moisture from rain or humidity doesn't sit trapped in the material -- you'll see it dry in a couple of hours on a warm day. Polyester doesn't mildew or rot, and it sheds pet hair instead of trapping it.

Can You Actually Machine Wash an Outdoor Rug This Size?

Yes, up to the 5 ft. W x 7 ft. 6 in. L size in most residential machines, and the larger sizes in a commercial washer. The ultra-thin profile -- there's no thick pile or heavy backing layer -- means the rug folds flat and doesn't overload the drum the way a traditional indoor rug would. Use a cold-water cycle and mild detergent; skip bleach and fabric softener. Hang it to air-dry or lay it flat -- it's ready to go back down in two to four hours. For the biggest sizes, a hose and deck brush work fine if you don't have access to a large-capacity machine.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Not necessarily, but it's easier to keep clean if you do. The polyester won't degrade from freeze-thaw cycles, and UV stabilization works year-round, so the rug can stay out under snow and ice without damage. That said, if you store it rolled in a dry spot, you'll avoid having to scrub off salt residue or leaf stains come spring. A garage shelf or basement corner is enough -- the material doesn't need climate control, just a place where it stays dry and doesn't sit folded in a tight crease for months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an outdoor rug get wet?

Yes. This rug is designed to handle rain, sprinkler overspray, and pool splashes -- the flat weave lets water pass through and air-dries quickly.

How do I clean an outdoor rug?

Shake out loose dirt, then machine wash in cold water with mild detergent. For larger sizes, hose it down on the deck and scrub with a brush.

Can this stay outside all year?

The material won't degrade from winter weather, but storing it rolled in a dry spot makes spring cleanup easier and extends the life of the backing.

Will the blue fade in direct sun?

No. The polyester is UV-stabilized to prevent color fade through seasons of full-sun exposure.

Does the non-skid backing work on composite decking?

Yes. It grips smooth composite, concrete, and tile without needing a separate rug pad for most residential applications.

Is assembly or installation included with delivery?

Free curbside delivery is included; the rug arrives rolled and ready to unroll -- no assembly. White-glove placement is available for an additional fee upon request.
