Can I clean this runner with bleach?

Yes, the runner is bleach-cleanable, making it easy to tackle stains. Always test a small, hidden area first and rinse thoroughly.

What are the benefits of the jute hessian backing?

The jute hessian backing provides a secure foundation, helps the runner maintain its shape, and prevents snagging.

How do I get the runner in my specific size?

What does 'Wilton-grade construction' mean?

Wilton-grade construction refers to a high-quality weaving method where each tuft is securely woven into the backing, ensuring superior durability and preventing threads from pulling loose.

Troubleshooting

Runner seems to be stretching or losing shape.

Ensure the runner was installed professionally and is securely fastened to the stairs. The jute hessian backing is designed to prevent stretching, so significant loss of shape may indicate an installation issue or excessive moisture.

Stubborn stains are not coming out with basic cleaning.

Refer to the care instructions for using a diluted bleach solution or a specialized carpet stain remover. Always test in an inconspicuous area first and rinse thoroughly.

Runner appears faded.

The material is designed to be fade-resistant. If fading is observed, check for prolonged direct sunlight exposure and consider rearranging furniture or using window treatments to reduce UV impact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stain and fade resistance for long-lasting appearance.
  • Comfortable and soft underfoot due to the plush pile.
  • Durable construction suitable for heavy foot traffic.
  • Easy to clean and maintain, including bleach cleanability.
  • Anti-static and moth-proof properties add value.

Cons

  • Requires professional finishing to exact size, potentially involving lead times.
  • Specific dimensions are fixed per order and cannot be altered post-purchase.
  • While durable, polypropylene may show wear in extremely high-traffic areas over extended periods compared to natural fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This stair runner is professionally finished to your exact size specifications. Once received, it is ready to be installed on your staircase. Professional installation is recommended to ensure a secure and neat fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for most standard staircases. The jute hessian backing is designed to work with typical flooring underneath. Ensure your stairs are clean and dry before installation.

Care: Regularly vacuum the runner to remove loose dirt and dust. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent or a bleach solution (diluted as per manufacturer's recommendations for bleach) can be used on colored fibers, followed by rinsing and thorough drying. Avoid excessive soaking. Professional cleaning may be required for deep-seated stains.
