Our area rug, with its stretched diamond pattern and open center, brings a transitional touch of sophistication to any setting. It's UV stabilized to withstand both indoor and outdoor environments, ultra-thin for effortless placement, machine-washable for easy care, and is wonderfully family and pet friendly, ensuring durability and style. The ultra thin profile allows for fast drying after a rainfall or outdoor cleaning. UV Stabilized For Indoor or Outdoor Use. All rugs exposed to long periods of intense and direct sunlight can experience loss of color over time. Our rugs perform best in covered outdoor areas and uncovered areas with lower hours of direct sunlight. Larger rug sizes may not fit into a residential washing machine. They may be washed in a commercial size washing machine or hosed-off outside with mild soap and water. Air-dry, do not machine dry. While each rug already has a non-skid backing, the necessity for additional cushion or room settings with high traction areas, may require an additional rug pad.
