Magic Outdoor Rug | Plain Cream Flatweave | OEKO-TEX Certified

This rug is a 90% polypropylene and 10% polyester blend with a polypropylene backing. It does not absorb water, so it will not rot or go mouldy the way a natural fibre rug would, and the flat weave lets rain pass straight through rather than pooling on the surface.

Routine cleaning

Shake or brush off loose dirt, leaves and grit regularly — grit is what wears a flatweave down over time, not rain. For anything more, hose it down and let it drain. A soft brush with warm water and mild washing-up liquid will lift most marks. Rinse thoroughly so no soap residue is left behind, as residue attracts dirt.

A note on the cream colourway: pale rugs show marks from soil, leaf tannin and garden debris more readily than darker tones. Dealing with spills and leaf fall promptly makes a real difference to how it looks in year two.

Drying

Lay flat or hang over a rail until completely dry on both sides before putting it back down. A rug left damp underneath on decking or paving can mark the surface beneath it.

What to avoid

No bleach, no solvent cleaners, no pressure washers at close range — all three can damage the fibres or lift the weave. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Indoor use

The polypropylene backing is suitable for underfloor heating, so this rug works indoors as well as out — useful if you bring it inside over winter.

Through the seasons

Lift the rug periodically and let the surface underneath dry out, particularly on decking. In autumn, clear leaves promptly rather than letting them sit and stain. Over winter, the rug can stay out, but it will last considerably longer if you clean it, dry it fully, and roll it away somewhere sheltered until spring.

A note on fading

The colours resist UV fading but are not UV proof. A rug in full unbroken sun will lighten gradually over several seasons. Turning it end to end once or twice a year evens out both fading and wear.
