Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unroll the runner and allow it to lay flat in its intended location for at least 24 hours. This will help remove any creases from packaging. Ensure the floor underneath is clean and dry before placing the runner.
Compatibility:
This runner is specifically designed with an anti-slip latex gel backing that performs best on hard floor surfaces such as wood, vinyl, and ceramic tiles. It provides some grip on carpets, but its effectiveness decreases with carpet thickness. It is suitable for use in hallways, kitchens, landings, conservatories, and caravans.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris. Use a standard vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush if possible to avoid snagging the fibers.
- Spill Cleanup: Blot up spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water solution, blotting from the outside of the stain inwards.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, a damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap solution can be used. Ensure the runner dries completely afterward. Avoid excessive soaking, as the backing is waterproof but the material can hold moisture.
- Maintenance: Due to its non-pile construction, this runner does not require the same maintenance as traditional carpets. It is resistant to moth damage and static.
