Troubleshooting
Runner edges fraying
Ensure the runner is securely fixed and not pulled too tightly at the edges. Trim any stray fibers carefully with scissors, but significant fraying might indicate an installation issue or excessive wear.
Stains not coming out
Re-treat the stain using the recommended cleaning solution (mild detergent or bleach, tested first). For stubborn stains, consider professional carpet cleaning.
Runner shifting or slipping
Check the fixing method. Ensure adequate gripper strips, tape, or rods are used and properly installed. The jute backing may require a suitable underlay or adhesive for maximum stability on certain surfaces.
Uneven pile appearance
Vacuum the runner regularly in different directions. If the pile appears crushed, try gently brushing it with a stiff brush or steaming (from a distance, do not saturate).
