Outdoor rugs-what's the deal?

Is it really okay to leave them outside all summer/spring?

Are they just breeding grounds for mold and bacteria?

We leave ours out all spring/summer. Never had a mold problem. DH does hose it down regularly. Ours is on our deck which I'd VERY sunny so it dries super-fast

we've never had an issue with mold/bacteria, but you might if they stay wet for long periods.

If i know its going to rain, I try to take them in (but it doesn't always happen).

I've found they don't last more than 2-3 seasons if you leave them out all the time.

I leave mine out all year long. In the summer we hose it down and vacuum it. I love it.
