Marimekko Papajo Indoor/Outdoor Rug

Yes, the rug is crafted from durable polypropylene, which is moisture-resistant and designed to withstand outdoor elements. However, for the longest lifespan, we recommend hanging it to dry after heavy rain or storing it during extreme winter weather.

Because of its flatweave construction, this rug is easy to maintain. You can simply hose it off outdoors and let it air dry, or spot clean indoor spills with a mild soap and water solution.

As a flatweave rug, it has a low-profile, firm texture rather than a plush pile. It is ideal for high-traffic areas like patios or entryways, though you may want to add a rug pad underneath if you prefer extra cushioning.

The rug is constructed with materials suitable for outdoor use, which generally offer good resistance to fading. While it is designed to hold its color, placing it in a heavily shaded area will always help preserve the vibrancy of the print over time.

If you are using the rug on a hard surface like tile or hardwood indoors, a rug pad is recommended to prevent slipping and protect your floors. For outdoor use on a deck or patio, a pad is generally not required, though a mesh outdoor rug pad can help with drainage and stability.
