Indoor outdoor carpet is treated with a UV stabilizer (like your sunglasses) so it won't fade from direct sunlight. Made from material that is both rugged and low maintenance. It can literally be cleaned by spraying it down with a hose! If someone has kids that spill a lot, this is the product for them. Bring the inside out with an area rug by the pool or the grill. Best used in rooms where fading from sunlight is a concern. Three season rooms, breezeways with big sliding glass doors and rooms with skylights are all great candidates for a carpet that won’t fade.
