Store The Rug When It Is Not In Use.  If your backyard is going to be covered in snow for months at a time, roll up your rug and store it inside instead. If you lack storage space for a large rug, roll it up, cover it with a plastic painting tarp, and secure it with bungee cords. You can prop it up in the corner of a yard or deck without worrying about damage.

Clean It Monthly  Stains and Spills: If a new spill occurs (and lets face it, it will!) use a dry cloth to blot the excess that’s on top of the rug. Make sure not to rub with the cloth to prevent pushing the substance further in to the fibers. If it is a large spill, you can use your garden hose to thoroughly rinse the rug. If you choose this method, make sure to place the rug where it will have direct sunlight to completely dry the outdoor rug.

Bleach is a quick solution for killing growth on outdoor rugs, but it's not the most environmentally friendly option and can remove color. If you have children who play on the carpet or pets, stick to using a diluted vinegar-and-water mixture and scrubbing thoroughly with a brush.
