Troubleshooting

Runner does not lie flat

Ensure the floor surface is smooth and clean. Roll the runner out in the sun for a few hours or place heavy objects on the corners for a day to help it settle.

Stains are difficult to remove

For stubborn stains, use a dedicated carpet stain remover suitable for polypropylene. Always test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area first. Blot, do not rub, and rinse thoroughly.

Edges appear to be fraying

This is unlikely with a professionally finished runner. Inspect closely for damage. If fraying occurs, trim any loose threads carefully with scissors. Ensure it is not being caught on furniture or sharp edges.

Runner slips on the floor

Consider using a non-slip rug underlay, especially on hard, smooth surfaces or in high-traffic areas. Ensure the floor is completely dry before placing the runner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This carpet runner is designed for immediate use upon arrival. Simply unroll it and place it in your desired location. Ensure the surface beneath is clean and dry for optimal stability.

Compatibility:

  • Flooring Types: Compatible with most hard flooring surfaces such as tile, laminate, wood, and vinyl. It can also be used on concrete patios.
  • Indoor/Outdoor Use: Suitable for all rooms within the home, including hallways, kitchens, and living areas. It is also designed for outdoor use on patios, balconies, or decking.
  • Underfloor Heating: While not explicitly stated, the slim profile suggests compatibility, but testing in an inconspicuous area is recommended if this is a concern.

Care Instructions:

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
  • Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming with a standard household vacuum cleaner is recommended to remove dust and debris. Avoid using a beater bar on high pile settings, as this is a flatweave.
  • Outdoor Care: When used outdoors, it's advisable to clean it periodically and ensure it dries thoroughly to prevent mildew. It can be hosed down and air-dried.
  • Reversing: To switch between designs, simply lift and flip the runner over.
