Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Proper installation is paramount for the safety and longevity of your stair runner. While some may attempt DIY installation, it is strongly recommended to obtain a professional carpet fitter if you are unsure. Incorrect fitting can lead to dangerous slip or trip hazards. The runner should be securely fastened to each stair tread and riser, ensuring no loose sections or buckling. A professional will ensure a tight, even fit across the entire staircase.
Compatibility
This stair runner is designed for indoor staircases. Its 57cm width is a standard size for many staircases. Ensure your stairs are clean and dry before installation. The felted back provides protection, but for extremely smooth or polished stair surfaces, consulting with your fitter about additional underlay or grip solutions is advisable to enhance stability.
Care
Caring for your Homemaker Bobble Textured Stair Runner is straightforward:
- Cleaning: The runner is spot clean only. For spills or marks, immediately blot the area with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent solution. Avoid excessive rubbing. Pat dry.
- Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming with a brush attachment will help remove dirt and maintain the pile's appearance.
- Do Not Iron: The polypropylene material is not suitable for ironing and can be damaged by heat.
- Do Not Wash: The runner is not designed for machine washing or dry cleaning.
