Dinella Black 7'9 x 9'5 Indoor/Outdoor Rug

Maintenance is simple thanks to the rug's moisture-resistant material. For general cleaning, our care guides recommend hosing the rug off with water and a mild detergent, then allowing it to dry fully in the sun to prevent any bacterial buildup. For indoor use in high-traffic areas, regular vacuuming is sufficient to keep the low-pile surface clear of dust and debris.

Absolutely. The same durability that allows this rug to survive outdoors makes it a high-performance solution for indoor "active zones." The low-pile, machine-woven construction is resistant to snags from pet claws and heavy foot traffic. Furthermore, the high-contrast black and white striped pattern is excellent for disguising minor dirt between cleanings, making it as functional in a mudroom as it is stylish on a patio.

While this rug is designed with UV-resistant fibers to prevent fading in sunny regions like Florida or Texas, dark tones like black can absorb more heat in direct sunlight. If you are placing this rug on an unshaded deck in a hot climate, we recommend positioning it under a patio umbrella or in a partially shaded area to ensure the surface remains comfortable for bare feet during the heat of the day.

Yes, polypropylene is one of the most durable and practical materials for outdoor environments. This rug is machine-woven with these synthetic fibers, which are naturally non-absorbent and resistant to mold and mildew. This construction ensures that the rug remains resilient even when exposed to frequent rain or high humidity, making it an ideal choice for fully exposed outdoor spaces.

This size serves as a substantial "anchor" for larger living or dining configurations. In an outdoor dining setup, it is large enough to accommodate a table and six chairs, ensuring that chair legs remain on the rug even when guests pull them out. For a lounge or seating area, this rug is best styled by placing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the material, which visually unifies the furniture and prevents a "floating" look in open-concept spaces.

While the polypropylene material itself is mold-resistant, any floor covering can trap moisture against wood if left saturated for long periods in rainy climates. Based on our expertise in outdoor maintenance, we recommend using a breathable rug pad to encourage airflow. Additionally, occasionally rolling up the rug after heavy rainfall to let the deck boards dry completely will help preserve the life of your wood finish and prevent local moisture issues.
