The outdoor polypropylene rug continues to impress us

I had been looking for some outdoor area rugs for our new exterior living area that we had built, and happened upon quite a few products that were marked outdoor rugs. They seemed to be too soft, and delicate to handle the weather, so I started researching the different resources they were made from and found that the outdoor polypropylene rug types were really made for outside use. They poly fiber is made by chemical companies for thousands of products and they are able create water and heatproof fibers that feel just like organic materials. The one that we selected finally was a southern contemporary rug that feels just like a blend of cotton and wool.

You can take water hose and direct it right on the rug and it just beads off like an automobile does after being waxed. Well, my wife said time will tell, as Max our German shepherd, the kids, and the weather would tell us how great our new purchase will hold up in a few months time. We did have to buy a rug pad that was also made for exterior living, due to the fact that rug wanted to slide on the European marble floors that we had installed during the renovation.

A few weeks and life went to work on our large outdoor floor covering, and food was spilled, and even a few margaritas got to dowse the fibers, and just like magic the stains washed right out with water. After doing a little more research on poly fiber construction, I found that it is made from natural resources like corn, and petrochemical byproducts. It is engineered in such a way that it is impervious to staining, as the density of the material will not allow any absorption whatsoever. This fact makes them a great choice for any outdoor design needs. We are getting a matching runner rug to place on the tiles from the outdoor kitchen over to the pergola next week.
