FAQs
What is the best way to clean this stair runner?
Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For stains, use a mild detergent and water solution, blotting gently. The runner is bleach resistant, but always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Is this stair runner suitable for very busy stairs?
Yes, it has an Ultra Heavy Domestic wear rating, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like busy staircases. The durable polypropylene and flatweave construction are designed for longevity.
How thick is the stair runner?
The stair runner has a thickness of 7mm, providing a practical, low-profile finish.
Will the gel latex backing damage my stairs?
The gel latex backing is designed to provide grip without causing damage to most surfaces. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area if you have concerns about your specific flooring material.
Can I cut this runner to fit my stairs precisely?
Yes, the runner can be cut to size using a sharp carpet knife and a straight edge. Ensure cuts are made cleanly.
Is the orange color likely to fade?
No, the runner is fade resistant, meaning its color should remain vibrant even with exposure to light.
What kind of feel does this runner have?
This runner has a firm texture due to its resilient flatweave construction, prioritizing durability and practicality over plushness.
Troubleshooting
Runner is not lying flat
Ensure the staircase surface is clean and dry. Roll the runner out in the opposite direction of the curl for a few hours, or place heavy objects along the edges to help it settle. Ensure the gel backing is in full contact with the surface.
Slipping on stairs
Verify the gel latex backing is clean and free from dust or debris, which can reduce grip. If the issue persists on a very smooth surface, consider adding a thin layer of non-slip rug underlay specifically designed for stairs.
Stubborn stains won't lift
Blot the stain immediately. For dried or stubborn marks, use a solution of mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing. If bleach resistance is needed for a severe stain, use diluted bleach carefully and test on an inconspicuous area first, rinsing thoroughly afterward.
Fraying edges
Ensure any cuts made to size were clean and finished appropriately. Trim any loose threads carefully with scissors. If significant fraying occurs, it may indicate excessive wear or damage to the edge binding.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent durability for high-traffic areas.
- Enhanced safety with anti-slip backing.
- Easy to clean and maintain due to stain and bleach resistance.
- Fade-resistant properties ensure longevity of appearance.
- Cost-effective alternative to traditional basketweave designs.
Cons
- Firm texture may not be preferred by those seeking a plush feel.
- Specific dimensions may require cutting for a precise fit on some staircases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This stair runner is designed for straightforward installation. It typically comes ready to lay. If you need to cut it to size for your specific staircase dimensions, ensure you use a sharp carpet knife and a straight edge for clean cuts.
Compatibility:
The gel latex backing is designed to grip securely on most common staircase surfaces, including wood, laminate, and existing carpet. For optimal performance and to prevent any potential slipping on very smooth surfaces, consider using a dedicated non-slip carpet gripper or underlay, although this is often not necessary due to the inherent grip of the backing.
Care:
Cleaning is simple due to the material's properties. For general maintenance, regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent and water solution can be used, followed by blotting. Its bleach-resistant nature means accidental contact with household cleaning agents is unlikely to cause permanent discoloration. Ensure the runner is completely dry after cleaning.
