Starburn Aqua 4'10 x 7'6 Indoor/Outdoor Rug

Absolutely. This rug is power-loomed from a blend of 75% polypropylene and 25% polyester, materials specifically chosen for their exceptional durability and stain resistance. The flatwoven, low-profile design is particularly advantageous for busy households; it is highly resistant to snagging from pet claws and allows most vacuum cleaners to glide over it easily. Based on our material expertise, these synthetic fibers are designed to withstand the rigors of heavy foot traffic while maintaining their structural integrity.

This rug is engineered for high-sun environments, featuring UV-stabilized fibers that are specifically treated to resist the degrading effects of sunlight. While the coastal aqua tones are vibrant, the synthetic construction ensures the color remains rich even after prolonged exposure. For homeowners in intense sun regions, this specialized treatment provides a significant advantage in maintaining the rug's aesthetic appeal, though our experts recommend limiting direct sun exposure when possible to further prolong the life of the fibers.

Maintaining this rug is straightforward due to its moisture-wicking synthetic construction. For everyday dirt, you can simply shake it out or vacuum it. For a deeper clean or after heavy rain, we recommend hosing the rug down with water and a mild detergent, then allowing it to dry fully in the sun. Because the material is flatwoven and low-profile, it dries much faster than traditional rugs, which is a critical feature for preventing the growth of mold or mildew in humid or rainy climates.

While this rug is designed for outdoor durability, using a breathable rug pad is highly recommended, especially on wooden surfaces. A pad provides essential grip to prevent slipping on smooth concrete or wood and creates a small gap that allows air to circulate underneath. This circulation is vital for ensuring the rug dries quickly after rain, preventing moisture from being trapped against your deck, which helps protect the wood from rot and staining over time.

This rug is exceptionally well-suited for coastal living. The polypropylene and polyester fibers are naturally resistant to mold and mildew, which is a common concern in humid, salty air. Its flatwoven construction is also less likely to trap sand and debris compared to high-pile alternatives, making it a perfect transition piece for entryways or porches near the beach. Based on our care guidelines, its Egyptian-made power-loomed finish provides a high-quality, durable surface that holds up beautifully against the elements.

Yes, the inclusion of polyester in this blend adds a layer of softness that makes it more comfortable underfoot than standard 100% polypropylene rugs. While it is tough enough for a patio, its refined texture makes it an ideal "performance rug" for indoor spaces like kitchens, mudrooms, or sunrooms where spills and heavy use are common. It offers the aesthetic of a coastal accent piece with the easy-care benefits of an outdoor-grade textile.
