Is the backing non-slip?
Yes, it features a waterproof, rot-proof gel latex backing designed to provide a secure grip on most surfaces.
Can I fit this runner myself without underlay?
Yes, the secure gel latex backing often allows for flexible installation without underlay or gripper rods if preferred, though professional fitting is recommended for the best finish.
How do I clean everyday spills?

Is this runner suitable for very busy stairs?
Yes, it has a Heavy Domestic wear rating and a resilient loop-pile construction, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
What are the dimensions available?

Is the runner waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Runner feels loose or moves during use
Ensure the stair surface is clean and dry. Re-secure the runner using a stronger adhesive tape, appropriate staples, or consider using gripper rods and underlay for maximum security.
Stains are difficult to remove
Blot fresh stains immediately. For stubborn stains, use a mild carpet cleaner specifically designed for polyamide fibers, following the cleaner's instructions. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Edges are fraying slightly
This is uncommon with professionally finished runners. Ensure the runner is not catching on any sharp edges of the stairs. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully with sharp scissors.
Runner appears flattened in high-traffic areas
Regularly vacuuming in different directions can help lift the pile. The loop construction is designed for resilience, but extreme, constant pressure might cause minor flattening over extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This stair runner is designed for flexible installation. While it can be fitted with traditional methods like gripper rods and underlay, the secure gel latex backing often allows for direct fitting without these. Ensure the stairs are clean and dry before installation. For a secure fit, align the runner carefully and attach it using appropriate methods such as heavy-duty tape or staples, depending on your chosen installation method.
Compatibility: The gel latex backing is designed to grip securely to most common stair surfaces, including wood, laminate, and some vinyl flooring. It is not recommended for use on very soft or uneven surfaces where the backing cannot achieve a full grip.
Care: Regular vacuuming will help maintain the appearance of the loop pile. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Due to its stain-resistant properties, most common household stains can be removed with mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the runner is thoroughly dried after cleaning to prevent moisture retention.
