Oriental Weavers Meridian 2808G Blue/Green Indoor/Outdoor Rug - 3'7" x 5'6"

Yes. This outdoor rug is made from solution-dyed polypropylene fibers that are UV-stabilized to resist fading from sun exposure. It is also mold and mildew resistant, making it suitable for covered patios, decks, and high-humidity areas.

This rug can handle rain and moisture — it drains quickly and dries fast. However, we recommend allowing it to dry fully before rolling or storing it to prevent any mildew buildup underneath. It is not recommended for fully submerged or standing-water conditions.

Outdoor rugs are easy to clean. For routine maintenance, shake it out or vacuum on a low setting. For deeper cleaning, hose it down with water and mild soap, scrub gently with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and hang or lay flat to dry completely in the sun.

Please check the product description above for the specific construction method. RugKnots carries both hand-knotted and machine-made Oriental and Persian rugs. Hand-knotted rugs are made by skilled artisans and typically have a higher knot count and longer lifespan. Machine-made rugs offer the same traditional patterns at a more accessible price point.

Quality indicators for Oriental rugs include knot count (higher is better for hand-knotted), fiber content (wool and silk are premium), pile height, and the clarity of the pattern. All RugKnots rugs are sourced directly from trusted weavers and importers — we have been buying rugs since 1987 and stand behind every piece we sell.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting without a beater bar. Rotate the rug every 6–12 months to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth — do not rub. Professional cleaning is recommended every 2–3 years. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, or use a UV-protective window treatment.

The most common rule is to leave 18–24 inches of bare floor around the rug in a living room. For a seating area, all front legs of the furniture should sit on the rug. In a bedroom, an 8×10 or 9×12 rug typically works under a queen or king bed with enough coverage on the sides. Not sure? Email us at [email protected] and we will help you choose the right size.

Yes — a rug pad is strongly recommended for safety and longevity. A pad prevents the rug from slipping on hard floors, protects your floor from scratches, adds cushioning underfoot, and helps the rug lay flat. It also extends the life of the rug by reducing wear from friction. We recommend a non-slip felt or rubber pad cut 1 inch smaller than your rug on all sides.
