FAQs

Is this runner suitable for homes with pets?

The loop pile construction of this runner can potentially snag on pet claws. If you have pets that are prone to scratching or snagging carpet, a cut or twist pile carpet might be a more suitable option.

Do I need underlay or gripper rods for installation?

No, the anti-slip gel latex backing provides secure grip, allowing for installation without traditional underlay or gripper rods. You can use adhesive, staples, or stair rods for fixation.

How do I clean the stair runner?

Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar) and spot cleaning spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent are recommended. Professional cleaning is advised periodically.

What does 'Heavy Domestic wear rating' mean?

This rating indicates that the runner is suitable for use in high-traffic areas within a domestic setting, such as busy staircases, hallways, and living areas.

Is the runner waterproof?

Yes, the gel latex backing makes the stair carpet 100% waterproof and rot proof, preventing spillages from causing damage or shrinkage.

What is the material of the runner?

The runner is made from 100% Polyamide, a man-made fiber known for its durability, stain resistance, and fade resistance.

What are the dimensions of this specific product?

This product is the 'Icona Graphite Stair Carpet Runner' with a width of 120cm. Specific lengths can be ordered as needed.

Troubleshooting

Runner snags or pulls

Check for loose fibers and carefully trim any snagged loops with scissors. Avoid vacuuming with a beater bar. If pet claws are a frequent issue, consider a cut pile carpet instead.

Runner has wrinkles or creases

Ensure the runner is laid flat on the stairs. If installed with adhesive, ensure it's evenly applied. For minor creases, sometimes repositioning or allowing it to settle can help. If severe, professional re-fitting might be necessary.

Spills leave stains

Blot spills immediately. For persistent stains, use a mild soap and water solution, blotting gently. Ensure the cleaning solution is tested on an inconspicuous area first.

Runner feels stiff

This runner is designed for durability and firmness, not plush comfort. The texture is a natural characteristic of the hardwearing loop pile construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This stair runner features a gel latex backing that provides a non-slip grip, allowing for flexible installation. You can fit it directly onto your stairs using adhesive, staples, or stair rods. The use of underlay or gripper rods is optional but can still be employed for added cushioning or stability if desired.

Compatibility:

The anti-slip backing is designed to grip securely on most common flooring surfaces found on stairs. It can be installed on stairs with or without traditional underlay and gripper rods.

Care:

To maintain the runner's appearance and performance:

  1. Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum weekly to remove dust and surface debris. Avoid using a beater bar on loop-pile carpets, as it can snag the loops.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Use a mild detergent and water solution for tougher stains, blotting gently from the outside of the stain inwards. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, professional carpet cleaning services are recommended every 12-18 months.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the polyamide fibers and backing.
