Polypropylene

Polypropylene, often shortened to PP, is the plastic fibre that made outdoor rugs practical. It absorbs almost no water, so it does not hold damp, stain the way natural fibres do, or take days to dry after rain. Woven tightly the fibre stays soft enough to sit on, so a PP rug furnishes a terrace rather than guarding a door.

Polypropylene

Properties

  • Hydrophobic fibre: absorbs almost no water, so it resists mould and staining
  • Colourfast under UV, holding its colour outdoors season after season
  • Lighter than wool or cotton for the same density of weave
  • Machine-washable at low temperatures where a natural-fibre rug would need dry cleaning
  • Softer underfoot than older generations of outdoor plastic weave, when woven tightly

Care

Shake out loose dirt, wipe with a damp cloth, or rinse with a hose and air dry flat. Hand wash at 20°C for the longest life.

Polypropylene FAQs

Can a polypropylene rug really be left outside all year?

Yes, that is what it is made for. The fibre absorbs almost no water and is colourfast under UV, so it will not stain, mould or fade the way a natural-fibre rug would.

How do I clean a polypropylene outdoor rug?

Shake out loose dirt, wipe with a damp cloth, or rinse it with a hose and let it air dry flat. For a deeper clean, hand wash at 20°C.
