FAQs

What is the recommended way to clean this stair runner?

For everyday cleaning, vacuum regularly without a beater bar. For spills, blot immediately. Most stains can be treated with a diluted bleach solution, followed by rinsing with clean water. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area first.

Do I really need underlay for this runner?

Yes, using underlay is strongly recommended. It significantly improves comfort, safety (preventing slips), reduces noise, and helps the runner last longer by minimizing friction and movement.

How much extra material should I order for waste?

It is recommended to factor in an additional 10% to your total measurement to account for waste during the cutting and fitting process, ensuring a professional finish.

Can this runner be used on all types of stairs?

The runner is designed for general stair use. However, its performance and longevity are optimized when used with appropriate underlay, especially on wooden or older stair structures.

What does 'flatweave' mean for a stair runner?

Flatweave refers to a weaving technique where the fabric lies flat without a pile. This makes the runner durable, easy to clean, and less likely to snag or show wear patterns.

Is the ivory/cream colour prone to showing dirt?

While ivory/cream is a light colour, the polypropylene material is stain-resistant and bleach-cleanable, making it relatively easy to maintain and keep looking fresh.

Where can I find matching products?

Matching carpets, rugs, and doormats are available to complement the Herringbone New England Ivory Stair Runner, allowing you to create a unified look throughout your home.

Troubleshooting

Runner feels uneven or has bumps.

This is likely due to the absence or inadequate installation of underlay. Ensure underlay is properly fitted and consider professional refitting of the runner.

Visible wear or fraying at edges.

Ensure the runner was cut correctly and edges were finished properly during installation. For minor fraying, a professional carpet fitter may be able to repair it. Check if underlay was used, as it can prevent excessive movement that leads to wear.

Stains are difficult to remove.

Re-attempt cleaning with a diluted bleach solution, ensuring you follow the recommended dilution and application method. Blot, do not rub. For persistent stains, consult a professional carpet cleaning service.

Runner appears to be slipping.

This is a critical safety issue often caused by lack of underlay or improper fixing. Immediately address by installing appropriate underlay and securing the runner, or seek professional assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Carefully: Determine the required length for your staircase. Factor in an additional 10% to your measurements to account for waste during cutting and fitting. This ensures you have enough material to achieve a neat finish.
  2. Consider Underlay: It is strongly recommended to use a suitable underlay beneath the runner. Underlay enhances comfort, prevents slipping, reduces noise, and extends the lifespan of the runner, especially on wooden or older stairs.
  3. Fitting: Professional fitting is advised for the best results, ensuring the runner is taut, securely attached, and neatly finished at the edges and any turns.

Compatibility:

  • This runner is suitable for most standard staircases.
  • It can be used on various flooring types beneath it, but underlay is crucial for performance and safety, particularly on hard surfaces like wood or tile.
  • Matching carpets, rugs, and doormats are available to create a cohesive look throughout your home.

Care:

  • Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild bleach solution (diluted according to bleach manufacturer instructions) and gently dab the affected area. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry thoroughly.
  • General Cleaning: Regular vacuuming without a beater bar is recommended to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this may damage the fibers.
