Troubleshooting
Runner is not staying in place.
Ensure the stair surface is clean and dry. If the gel latex backing seems ineffective, consider consulting a professional installer for alternative fixing methods, although this is rarely needed.
Stains are difficult to remove.
Address stains immediately. Use a mild detergent solution and blot gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be necessary.
Runner appears flattened in high-traffic areas.
While designed to resist flattening, very heavy, prolonged use can cause slight compression. Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning can help restore its appearance.
Fraying edges.
Ensure the runner was professionally finished to size. If fraying occurs, it may indicate a manufacturing defect or damage during installation. Contact the retailer for assistance.
