FAQs

What is the primary material of the Cotswold Stair Runner?

The runner is made from 100% polypropylene, known for its durability and resistance to stains.

Is underlay necessary for this stair runner?

While not strictly mandatory for fitting, underlay is strongly recommended. It significantly improves comfort, safety, longevity, and reduces noise, especially on hard surfaces like wooden stairs.

How do I clean a stain on the runner?

The runner is bleach cleanable and has a stain-free guarantee. For fresh spills, blot immediately. For tougher stains, a mild detergent or a diluted bleach solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes, custom sizes and queries are welcome. The product description mentions a 7-meter length, suitable for approximately 14 steps, and states that custom sizes are available.

What does 'flatweave' mean in the context of this runner?

Flatweave refers to a weaving technique where the yarn is passed back and forth across the width, creating a flat, durable surface without a pile. This makes it less prone to snagging and easier to clean.

How much extra material should I account for when ordering?

It is recommended to factor in an additional 10% to your measurements to account for waste during the cutting and fitting process.

Where is this stair runner made?

The RainbowHome Herringbone Cotswold Stair Runner is proudly made in England.

Troubleshooting

Runner feels too firm or hard underfoot.

This is likely due to the absence of underlay. We strongly recommend installing a suitable carpet underlay beneath the runner for improved comfort and performance.

Edges appear to be fraying or lifting.

Ensure the runner was cut cleanly and fitted securely. For flatweave, edges may require a discreet edge binding or appropriate adhesive if fraying persists, although this is uncommon with quality installation.

Stains are difficult to remove.

While the runner has a stain-free guarantee, for very stubborn stains, use a diluted bleach solution (test in an inconspicuous area first) and blot gently. Ensure thorough rinsing with a damp cloth afterwards.

Runner is slipping.

This is often a sign that underlay is needed or that the existing underlay is not providing sufficient grip. Ensure the runner and any underlay are securely fixed to the stairs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting material (polypropylene)
  • Easy to clean and maintain due to stain-free properties and bleach cleanability
  • Stylish herringbone design that enhances home decor
  • Manufactured in England, suggesting quality assurance
  • Comfortable underfoot, especially when paired with recommended underlay

Cons

  • Underlay is strongly recommended for optimal performance, adding an extra purchase

  • Specific length (7 meters) may not suit all staircases without cutting
  • Material may feel firm underfoot without adequate underlay

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Your Stairs: Accurately measure the length and width of each step. Remember to add approximately 10% to your total length measurement to account for cutting waste.
  2. Consider Underlay: It is strongly recommended to use carpet underlay beneath the runner. This enhances comfort, reduces wear, prevents slipping, and improves insulation. Ensure the underlay is suitable for stair runners.
  3. Cutting and Fitting: Cut the runner to size using sharp shears or a utility knife. Secure the runner to the stairs according to standard carpet fitting practices, ensuring it lies flat and is firmly attached, especially if using underlay.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most indoor staircases, including wooden, laminate, or carpeted stairs.
  • Can be used with underfloor heating, provided the underlay used is compatible.

Care:

  • Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum the runner regularly to remove dust and debris. Use a suction-only attachment if possible.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills, act quickly. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth. Remember, the runner has a stain-free guarantee and is bleach cleanable for stubborn marks. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, professional carpet cleaning methods can be employed. Ensure the cleaner is suitable for polypropylene flatweave carpets.
