1. Can a garden rug be left outside year-round?

Yes, a garden rug is designed to handle various weather conditions, including rain, sun, and even snow. Many are made from durable, weather-resistant materials like polypropylene, which resist fading and moisture. However, to maximise longevity, it’s best to store the rug indoors during extreme weather or long periods of heavy rain.

2. How to clean a garden rug?

Regular maintenance helps keep a garden rug looking fresh. Shake off loose dirt and debris frequently, and for a deeper clean, use a soft brush with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before placing it back outdoors to prevent mould and mildew. Some garden rugs can also be hosed down for quick and easy cleaning.

3. How should a garden rug be stored when not in use?

For proper storage, roll the garden rug with the pile facing inward to prevent creases. Wrapping it in breathable fabric or plastic adds extra protection against dust and pests. Store it in a dry indoor space, such as a shed, garage, or cupboard, to keep it in top condition for the next use.
