The stair runner is made from 100% polypropylene, a man-made fiber known for its durability and resistance to stains, fading, and moths.

Is the backing of the runner non-slip?

Yes, it features a gel-latex backing that provides a secure non-slip grip on most surfaces, enhancing safety on stairs.

How do I clean this stair runner?

It is easy to clean. Most spills can be wiped with a damp cloth. It is also stain-resistant and 100% bleach-proof, allowing for more intensive cleaning with diluted bleach if necessary.

Can I use this runner on any type of stairs?

Yes, the non-slip backing makes it compatible with most stair types. It can be fixed with adhesive, staples, or stair rods and does not strictly require gripper and underlay.

What does 'Ultra Heavy Domestic' wear rating mean?

This rating indicates that the runner is designed and tested to withstand very heavy use in all domestic locations, making it ideal for busy staircases and high-traffic areas.

Is this runner suitable for homes with pets?

Yes, the flatweave construction means there is no pile to flatten, making it very durable and less prone to trapping pet hair or being easily damaged by claws.

What are the dimensions of this specific product?

This specific product variant is 80 cm in height (width) and 570 cm in length.

Does the runner come with stair rods?

No, stair rods are not included but are recommended by the manufacturer for secure fixing and aesthetic enhancement. They are available for separate purchase.

Troubleshooting

Runner is not staying flat or is moving.

Ensure the stair surface is clean and dry. Re-secure the runner using appropriate adhesive, staples, or stair rods, ensuring even pressure is applied. Check that the gel-latex backing is in good condition and free from debris.

Stubborn stains are not coming out with a damp cloth.

Use a mild detergent solution and a soft brush. For persistent stains, a diluted bleach solution can be used due to the runner being bleach-proof, but always test on a small, hidden area first and rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Fraying edges.

If edges appear to be fraying, ensure the runner was cut precisely. Small frays can sometimes be carefully trimmed with sharp scissors. For significant fraying, professional trimming or a different fixing method may be required.

Runner feels too stiff or uncomfortable.

This runner is designed for durability over plush comfort. If additional comfort is desired, consider using a thin stair tread underlayment beneath the runner. Ensure proper fixing to prevent any movement that might contribute to a perceived stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This stair runner is designed to be cut to your exact size. It can be secured directly to the stairs using adhesive, staples, or stair rods. While underlay and gripper are optional, they can be used for added comfort or if preferred. Ensure the surface of the stairs is clean and dry before installation. For best results and aesthetic appeal, the manufacturer recommends using stair rods to keep the runner firmly in place.

Compatibility: The non-slip gel-latex backing adheres securely to most standard stair surfaces, including wood, laminate, and existing carpeted stairs. It does not require specialized subflooring. Its dimensions are 80 cm in height (width) and 570 cm in length.

Care: Maintaining the runner is straightforward. Due to its stain-resistant and waterproof properties, most spills can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a mild detergent solution. For tougher stains, its 100% bleach-proof nature allows for the use of diluted bleach, but always test in an inconspicuous area first. Regular vacuuming will remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fibers or backing.
