Evette Rios Blackwood Blue 8' x x9'9 Indoor/Outdoor Rug

One of the primary advantages of this polypropylene rug is its hassle-free maintenance. For minor spills or pet accidents, our care experts recommend spot cleaning with a mild detergent and water. For a more thorough cleaning, especially when used outdoors, you can simply rinse the rug with a garden hose and allow it to air dry. The synthetic fibers are designed to dry quickly, which helps prevent the lingering odors often associated with traditional rugs.

This rug is crafted from 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber specifically chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear. Polypropylene is non-absorbent, making it inherently resistant to stains, mold, and mildew. Because the fibers are solution-dyed, the vibrant blue and ivory tribal pattern is locked into the material, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of heavy foot traffic in a busy living room or a frequently used outdoor patio without losing its visual appeal.

Yes, this rug is safe for use on wooden decks, provided it is allowed to dry after heavy rain. Because it is made of breathable, synthetic polypropylene, it doesn't hold onto moisture as much as natural fibers do. However, to protect your deck’s finish and ensure proper airflow, we recommend periodically lifting the rug to let the wood underneath dry completely, especially during particularly rainy seasons.

This rug is specifically designed to perform in demanding environments. The polypropylene construction is UV-stabilized to resist fading even when exposed to direct sunlight on an uncovered deck. Additionally, its moisture-wicking properties are ideal for humid coastal or southern climates, as the material does not trap water, effectively preventing the growth of mold and mildew that can damage natural fiber rugs.

Absolutely. While engineered for outdoor durability, this machine-made rug features a sophisticated tribal design and a construction that provides a comfortable underfoot feel suitable for any indoor space. Its 0.5-inch pile height offers a balance of cushion and practicality, making it a popular choice for Bohemian or Southwestern-style interiors where you want the ruggedness of an outdoor material combined with the cozy aesthetic of a traditional area rug.

For indoor use on smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate, we highly recommend using a rug pad. A pad will provide extra cushioning, prevent the rug from slipping or bunching, and act as a protective barrier to prevent any friction between the rug backing and your flooring. For outdoor use on concrete or stone, a rug pad can also help with air circulation and provide a slightly softer feel on hard surfaces.
