Rug Care and Cleaning

How to Care for Your Outdoor Rug

Outdoor rugs from Jr's Patio are built to withstand the elements, but a little regular care goes a long way in keeping them looking beautiful for years to come.

Regular Maintenance

• Shake or vacuum weekly — Remove loose dirt and debris by shaking the rug out or vacuuming on a low setting without a beater bar.
• Rotate seasonally — Rotate your rug every few months to ensure even wear and sun exposure.
• Keep it dry — Although outdoor rugs are designed for moisture resistance, avoid leaving them in standing water for extended periods.

Spot Cleaning

For spills and stains, act quickly:

1. Blot the spill with a clean, dry cloth — do not rub.
2. Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water.
3. Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush.
4. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose.
5. Allow to air dry completely before replacing.

Deep Cleaning

A few times a year, give your rug a thorough cleaning:

1. Hose down both sides of the rug.
2. Apply a mild soap solution and scrub with a soft brush.
3. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear.
4. Hang or lay flat to dry completely in the sun.

Winter Storage

If storing your rug during winter months:

• Clean and dry thoroughly before storing.
• Roll (don't fold) the rug to avoid creasing.
• Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
• Consider a breathable rug storage bag to protect from dust and pests.
