Where Will You Place Your Outdoor Rugs?<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Consider the surface you\u2019ll be placing your rug on:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Grass<\/strong> – Placing a rug directly on grass is a way to trap moisture. Even if a rug is breathable, it will still be on wet ground, which will invite mold and mildew to grow. If you place your rug on the grass, consider putting down a temporary barrier such as tiles made of plastic or wood composite. These will serve as a base and help you keep your rug dry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wood-stained deck<\/strong> – After a rainfall, your rug could alter the surface of your deck. You can pull up the rug when it\u2019s polyester (all our outdoor rugs are made of poly let it dry in the sun, and wash it with a bleach solution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Steel <\/strong>– If your balcony or deck is metal (maybe you live in an urban area), use the click-lock tiles underneath the rug, just like our grass example.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
*NOTE – Our rugs are constructed with a backing material of either polypropylene or another synthetic fiber so keeping them clean and mildew free is easy!<\/strong><\/p>\n
