The basketweave pattern of our area rug is a testament to transitional style. blending geometric aesthetics with functional design. With UV stabilization. this rug is resilient enough for outdoor use. and its ultra-thin construction means it will fit seamlessly into your home. As a bonus. its machine-washable material is ideal for families with pets who want to keep their space spotless with minimal effort. All rugs exposed to long periods of intense and direct sunlight can experience loss of color over time. Our rugs perform best in covered outdoor areas and uncovered areas with lower hours of direct sunlight. The ultra thin profile allows for fast drying after rainfall or outdoor cleaning. Larger rug sizes may not fit into a residential washing machine. They may be washed in a commercial size washing machine or hosed-off outside with mild soap and water. Air-dry. do not machine dry. Each of our rugs is designed with a built-in non-skid backing for immediate use. yet for added cushioning or in high-traffic areas. you might consider pairing it with an additional rug pad for extra stability and comfort.
