Randi Brown 6'7 x 9'6 Indoor/Outdoor Rug

This rug is crafted from 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber specifically engineered for its durability and resistance to the elements. Our experts recommend polypropylene because it is non-absorbent, making it inherently resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew. This material is also solution-dyed, which provides superior fade resistance even when exposed to direct sunlight on an open patio or deck.

Maintaining this rug is straightforward due to its low-moisture material. For general upkeep, we suggest regularly shaking it out or vacuuming without a beater bar. To clean after a rainstorm or for a deeper refresh, you can simply hose the rug off with water and a mild detergent. Based on our care guidelines, it is important to allow the rug to air-dry fully in the sun before repositioning furniture on top of it to prevent moisture from being trapped against your deck or patio surface.

Yes, this rug is an ideal solution for busy homes with pets and kids. The tight basket weave pattern is resistant to snagging from pet claws, and the synthetic fibers are highly stain-resistant. Because the material doesn't absorb liquids, pet accidents or spilled drinks can be easily blotted up or rinsed away, preventing deep-set stains and lingering odors that often plague traditional indoor textiles.

This rug is exceptionally well-suited for humid coastal regions like Florida and the Gulf Coast. Unlike natural fiber rugs such as jute or sisal, which can trap moisture and develop odors in damp environments, the polypropylene fibers in this rug do not absorb water. The breathable basket weave construction also allows for better airflow, helping the rug dry quickly after a heavy afternoon thunderstorm or a humid morning.

To ensure safety and longevity, we recommend pairing this rug with a high-quality rug pad. On concrete or tile surfaces, a pad provides essential grip to prevent the rug from sliding. For wooden decks, using a breathable rug pad is a critical step; it allows air to circulate between the rug and the wood, preventing moisture buildup that could otherwise lead to staining or wood rot over time.

While designed for the rigors of the outdoors, this rug's casual coastal style and basket weave texture make it an excellent choice for indoor high-traffic zones. It is particularly effective in mudrooms, kitchens, or entryways where durability is a priority. While it may not have the plush pile of a traditional wool rug, it provides a clean, structured look that is comfortable underfoot while standing up to heavy foot traffic better than most indoor-only alternatives.
