Troubleshooting

Runner shifts or slides

Ensure the gel-latex backing is clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider additional stair gripper rods or double-sided carpet tape for enhanced security, though the backing is designed to be non-slip.

Stubborn stains are difficult to remove

Try a specialized carpet stain remover suitable for polypropylene. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Blot, don't rub, the stain.

Fraying edges

As the runner is professionally finished, fraying should be minimal. If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim any loose fibers with sharp scissors. Avoid pulling.

Runner appears faded

The material is resistant to fading. If significant fading occurs, ensure it's not due to harsh chemical cleaners used during cleaning. Check for excessive direct sunlight exposure and consider UV-protective treatments if feasible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This runner is professionally finished to your chosen size. Ensure you measure your staircase accurately before ordering to guarantee a perfect fit. The runner should be laid directly onto your stairs. The existing gel-latex backing provides inherent grip.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for use on staircases. It is compatible with most standard stair constructions. The waterproof backing makes it suitable for various household environments.

Care: To maintain the runner's appearance and longevity:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For fresh spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and gently dab the area. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming (on a low setting if your vacuum has adjustable height) will help remove surface dust and debris. Avoid using a beater bar, as this can damage the fibers.
  3. Deeper Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, consider professional carpet cleaning. Ensure the cleaning method is suitable for polypropylene and flatweave constructions.
  4. Drying: If the runner becomes wet, ensure it dries thoroughly to prevent moisture issues with the backing. Allow for good ventilation.
