Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This stair runner is designed for flexible installation. The integrated gel latex backing provides a secure grip on most stair surfaces, often allowing it to be fitted without underlay or gripper rods. For best results, ensure the stairs are clean and dry before laying the runner. Measure your stairs carefully to ensure the correct size is chosen, as it is professionally finished to your selected dimensions.
Compatibility:
The gel latex backing is compatible with most standard flooring surfaces found on stairs. It's designed to adhere securely without causing damage to the underlying material. For very specific or delicate stair finishes, testing in an inconspicuous area or consulting a professional installer is recommended.
Care:
To maintain the runner's appearance and performance:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum frequently to remove dust and debris. Use a suction-only setting to avoid damaging the pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or bleach, as these can damage the fibers and backing.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, consider professional carpet cleaning services specializing in stair runners.
