FAQs

How do I choose the right size for my stairs?

Measure the width and length of each stair tread you wish to cover. The Olmec runner is available in various customisable sizes. Ensure you account for any overhang you desire or the precise fit needed for your stair dimensions.

Is the runner difficult to install?

Installation requires basic DIY skills. The runner needs to be securely attached to the stairs using carpet tacks or a strong adhesive. Full instructions on measuring and securing should be followed.

Can I use this runner on outdoor steps?

Yes, the Olmec runner is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its material is resistant to UV fading and various weather conditions.

How often should I clean the runner?

Regular vacuuming is recommended for general maintenance. Address spills immediately by blotting them up to prevent staining.

What does 'reversible' mean for this runner?

Reversible means the runner has a finished design on both sides. You can flip it over to use the other side, effectively giving you two different looks or extending its life by distributing wear.

Is this runner suitable for pets?

Yes, the durable polypropylene and flatweave construction are designed to withstand heavy domestic wear, including from pets. It's also resistant to static.

What is the thickness of the runner?

The Olmec stair runner has a slim profile of 2mm.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not lying flat

Ensure the subfloor is even and dry. Check that the runner is taut and securely fastened along its entire length with appropriate tacks or adhesive.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. For set-in stains, use a mild detergent solution and a soft brush, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Rinse with clean water and blot dry. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Runner is shifting or moving

The runner needs to be more securely fixed. Use additional carpet tacks or ensure the adhesive strip is firmly applied and making good contact with both the runner and the stair surface.

Fraying at the edges

The flatweave construction is generally robust, but excessive abrasion can cause fraying. Ensure the runner is correctly sized and securely fastened to prevent snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the Olmec stair runner, it is typically secured using carpet tacks or a suitable adhesive strip designed for carpets and stairs. Ensure the staircase is clean and dry before application. Carefully measure and cut the runner to your desired length if not pre-sized. For the reversible feature, untack the runner from the stairs, flip it to the desired side, and re-tack securely. Ensure the runner lies flat and taut to prevent tripping hazards.

Compatibility: This runner is designed for standard indoor and outdoor staircases. It is compatible with most stair types, including wood, tile, and painted surfaces, provided appropriate fixing methods are used. Its 2mm thickness means it should not interfere significantly with door clearances.

Care: The runner is low-maintenance due to its stain-resistant polypropylene. For general cleaning, vacuum regularly. For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth or a mild detergent solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. If deep cleaning is required, consider professional carpet cleaning, ensuring they are aware of the material composition.
