Product Information

Full details

This runrug stair runner is designed for busy households seeking a durable, comfortable, and stylish solution for their staircases. Its key benefit is its exceptional stain resistance and ease of cleaning, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. A potential caveat is that while bleach-cleanable, dark colors may show bleach marks if not rinsed thoroughly. This runner features a soft, plush 9mm pile made from 100% stain-resistant polypropylene, a premium Wilton-grade construction with a strong jute hessian backing for shape retention, and resistance to stains, fading, static, and moths.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of this specific runner?

The product description mentions a specific size for this variant, for example, '60 cm x 660 cm'. Please refer to the product title or specific listing for the exact dimensions of the variant you are viewing. The runner can also be professionally finished to exact sizes.

Is this runner suitable for outdoor use?

No, this runner is designed for indoor use only. The hessian backing is not intended for exposure to moisture or outdoor elements.

How do I clean a bleach stain if not rinsed properly?

If bleach residue has dried and left a mark, try re-wetting the area with water and blotting thoroughly. For persistent marks, a very dilute neutral carpet cleaner might help, followed by a thorough rinse and dry.

Can this runner be cut to a custom width?

The product is professionally finished to the exact size you choose, implying custom length. For width, standard options are usually available. Please check the product listing for available widths. Cutting the width yourself is not recommended as it can cause fraying.

What is the pile height?

The pile height is approximately 9mm, providing a soft and cushioned feel underfoot.

Does the hessian backing prevent slipping?

The hessian backing provides stability and helps the runner maintain its shape. For added security, especially on smooth surfaces, it is recommended to use a suitable non-slip underlay or carpet grippers.

Is the dark grey color prone to showing dust?

Darker colors can sometimes show lighter dust or lint more readily than lighter colors. Regular vacuuming will help keep the runner looking its best.

Troubleshooting

Runner appears to be snagging

Check the backing for any loose threads. Trim any visible snags carefully with scissors, ensuring not to cut into the main pile. Ensure regular vacuuming to prevent debris from causing snags.

Stains are not completely removed with water/detergent

Since the runner is bleach-cleanable, a diluted bleach solution can be used for stubborn stains. Test in an inconspicuous area first. Apply sparingly, let sit for a short period, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and blot dry.

Runner is not lying flat

Ensure the subfloor is level. Allow the runner to acclimatize to room temperature for 24-48 hours before installation. If it continues to buckle, consider professional fitting or a suitable carpet gripper system.

Fraying edges

This is uncommon with the Wilton-grade construction and hessian backing. If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim with scissors. Ensure no part of the backing is exposed to excessive moisture which could degrade it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and suitable for heavy traffic areas.
  • Excellent stain resistance and easy to clean.
  • Soft and comfortable underfoot due to the plush pile.
  • Maintains shape and integrity over time with strong backing.
  • Resistant to common issues like fading, static, and moths.

Cons

  • May require thorough rinsing after bleach cleaning to avoid residue marks.
  • Dark grey color might show light scuffs more readily than lighter colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is designed to be professionally finished to your exact size specifications. Once received, it can be installed on your stairs according to standard carpet fitting procedures. Ensure stairs are clean and dry before installation.

Compatibility: Suitable for most standard staircases. The hessian backing is designed for dry indoor use. It is not recommended for very damp environments.

Care: Regular vacuuming is recommended to maintain the pile and remove surface dirt. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, a solution of mild detergent and water can be used, followed by rinsing and blotting. For thorough cleaning or stubborn stains, the runner is fully bleach-cleanable; however, it is crucial to rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward to prevent residue marks. Ensure the runner dries completely after cleaning.
