How to enjoy your outdoor rug for years to come

The ultimate trend right now; an outdoor rug. Garden rugs are incredibly popular and for good reason! Why limit your flooring style to indoors?

An outdoor rug is also known as a garden rug or patio rug. The name says it all: a rug for outside. Outdoor rugs are made from polypropylene, which makes them weather-resistant. To enjoy your outdoor rug for as long as possible, we have a few tips for you:

Tip #1 Bring it inside for winter

Winter might not be the most appealing season. But just as it's recommended to store your garden furniture indoors during winter, it's a good idea to roll up your outdoor rug at the end of summer. Storing your outdoor rug indoors over winter will significantly extend its lifespan. A small effort, long-lasting enjoyment!

Tip #2 Protect it from the sun

Yes, an outdoor rug can withstand the sun. Outdoor rugs are made from polypropylene, a material known for its durability and resistance to wear. However, it's best not to leave your outdoor rug in full direct sunlight. This way, the colour depth and vibrancy will stay beautiful for much longer!

Tip #3 Clean it safely

Is your outdoor rug dirty? Let it dry first. Most dirt can be knocked off. If needed, use a vacuum for smaller debris. Have a stubborn stain? Mix some washing-up liquid with water and pour it over the rug. Don't use a wire brush, as this can damage the fibres. The key here is blotting, not rubbing.
