FAQs

What is Wilton-grade quality?

Wilton-grade quality refers to a specific weaving technique that creates a dense, durable, and stable carpet. Each tuft is woven into the backing, resulting in a smooth, resilient surface that resists wear and flattening.

Is this runner suitable for very high-traffic areas?

Yes, it is classified as a 'Heavy Domestic' product, meaning it is designed for and suitable in high-traffic areas in all domestic locations.

Can I use bleach on this runner?

Yes, the material is 100% bleach cleanable, making it very practical for dealing with tough stains.

What is the thickness of the runner?

The runner has a thickness of 9mm.

What is the backing made of?

The runner features a woven hessian backing.

Is the runner resistant to fading from sunlight?

Yes, the polypropylene material is resistant to fading from UV sunlight.

Can I order any length I need?

This product is professionally finished to the exact size you order, meaning you can get it cut to your specific staircase dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Runner appears to be flattening over time.

The tight, reinforced weave is designed to resist flattening. Ensure regular vacuuming without a beater bar and address any heavy, sharp objects being dragged across the surface.

A spill has stained the runner.

Blot the spill immediately. For stubborn stains, use a diluted bleach solution (test in a hidden area first), then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Avoid excessive scrubbing.

Edge of the runner is fraying.

While the Wilton weave prevents snagging, ensure the runner is securely fastened to the stairs. Small frays can sometimes be trimmed carefully with sharp scissors.

Runner feels rough underfoot.

The 100% polypropylene pile is designed to be soft and comfortable. Ensure there are no embedded debris. Regular vacuuming helps maintain the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This product is professionally finished to your chosen size. Ensure you measure your staircase accurately before ordering. Installation typically involves fitting the runner securely to each step, often with the use of gripper strips or strong adhesive tape suitable for carpets. For best results, professional installation is recommended.

Compatibility:

The Strike Stair Runner is designed for standard domestic staircases. Its hessian backing is robust but should not be exposed to prolonged dampness. It is compatible with most standard staircase materials (wood, tile, etc.) when properly installed.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush head to prevent damage to the pile.
  • Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent or a bleach-based cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Rinse the affected area with clean water and allow to dry thoroughly.
  • Deep Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, a carpet shampoo suitable for synthetic fibers can be used. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the cleaning product.
  • Professional Cleaning: Periodic professional cleaning is recommended to maintain its appearance and longevity.
