FAQs
Is this stair runner suitable for very steep stairs?
While the runner is designed for standard staircases, its flexibility allows it to conform to moderate inclines. For very steep or unusually shaped stairs, professional fitting may be recommended to ensure a secure and safe installation.
How do I clean pet accidents on the runner?
Blot up as much of the mess as possible immediately. Use a mild detergent and water solution for cleaning, and rinse thoroughly. Since it's bleach-cleanable, a diluted bleach solution can be used for tough stains after testing in an inconspicuous area.
What is the recommended way to secure the runner?
Common methods include using strong double-sided carpet tape, carpet grippers installed beneath the edge, or traditional stair rods. The best method depends on your stair type and desired aesthetic.
Can this runner be used on a landing area as well as stairs?
Yes, the runner can be used on landing areas to create a cohesive look, provided the dimensions are suitable for the space.
What does 'Wilton-grade construction' mean for durability?
Wilton-grade construction refers to a high-quality weaving process where each tuft is deeply set into the backing. This method results in a very durable, stable, and resilient carpet that is less prone to fraying or losing its shape, making it ideal for heavy use.
Is the backing material waterproof?
The backing is jute hessian, which is a natural material. It is not waterproof and should be kept as dry as possible to prevent damage or mould growth. Promptly clean any liquid spills.
How do I know if the 60cm width is right for my stairs?
Measure the width of your stairs from skirting board to skirting board. The 60cm width is suitable for staircases where this measurement is close to or slightly larger than 60cm, allowing for a consistent border or overhang.
Troubleshooting
Runner edges are lifting or curling.
Check the fixing method used. Ensure carpet tape or grippers are securely attached, or stair rods are properly fitted. A non-slip underlay can also help prevent movement.
Stubborn stains are not coming out.
Consult the product's specific cleaning instructions. For this runner, a bleach solution can be used cautiously on certain stains; always test in a hidden area first and rinse thoroughly.
Runner appears to be flattening or losing pile.
Vacuum the runner regularly. For significant flattening, consider rotating the runner if feasible or gently brushing the pile when dry.
Runner is not lying flat on the stairs.
Allow the runner to acclimatise to room temperature for 24-48 hours before installation. Ensure the stairs are completely flat and any underlying issues are addressed.
