FAQs

Is this runner suitable for pets?

Yes, the hardwearing flatweave construction made from polypropylene is designed to be durable and resistant to pet claws, making it a good choice for pet owners.

Can this runner be used in a bathroom?

While it is suitable for indoor use and is stain-resistant, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture bathroom environments. For bathrooms, consider materials more suited to damp conditions.

How do I clean the runner?

Vacuum regularly. For spills, blot immediately. Use a mild detergent and water solution for stains, and hose down for outdoor cleaning. Ensure it dries completely.

What does 'Heavy Domestic' wear rating mean?

This rating indicates that the runner is suitable for use in areas of the home that experience high levels of foot traffic, such as hallways, stairs, and living rooms.

Can I use this runner outdoors all year round?

Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather or intense sunlight might affect its appearance over time. Bringing it indoors during harsh winters or storing it dry when not in use will extend its lifespan.

What are the dimensions of this specific runner?

This particular product listing is for the Vanhoutte Carpet Runner in Black, Checkered, measuring 60 cm in width and 150 cm in length.

Does the runner come with a non-slip backing?

The runner does not come with a built-in non-slip backing. For safety and to prevent movement on hard floors, it is recommended to use a separate non-slip rug pad.

Troubleshooting

Runner does not lie flat

Ensure the floor underneath is clean and dry. Roll the runner back up tightly and leave it for a few hours, or place heavy objects on the curled edges overnight. If outdoors, the weight of furniture or foot traffic may help it settle.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. Use a mixture of mild soap and water, testing on a small area first. For stubborn stains, a specialized carpet cleaner suitable for polypropylene may be required. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.

Fraying edges

Check if the edges are snagged. If minor fraying occurs due to wear, trim loose threads carefully with scissors. Ensure the runner is not placed in a high-snag environment if possible.

Slipping on hard floors

Use a non-slip rug pad underneath the runner. Ensure both the floor and the back of the runner are clean and dry before placing the pad and runner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers two distinct looks with its reversible design.
  • Highly durable and resistant to wear, making it suitable for pets and high-traffic areas.
  • Stain-resistant polypropylene is easy to clean and maintain.
  • Versatile for use both indoors and outdoors.
  • Slim profile allows for easy placement under doors.

Cons

  • The 2mm thickness provides minimal cushioning.
  • May require a rug pad for added grip and comfort on smooth floors.
  • Flatweave construction might not be suitable for those preferring plush carpets.
  • The checkered pattern is fixed and cannot be altered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This runner is delivered professionally finished to your specified size. Simply unroll it and place it in your desired location. For optimal safety and to prevent slipping, especially on hard floors, consider using a compatible rug pad underneath. Ensure the area where the runner will be placed is clean and dry.

Compatibility: The runner's slim 2mm profile makes it compatible with most doorways, as it sits low to the ground and is unlikely to impede door swings. It is suitable for use with underfloor heating, provided the maximum temperature recommendations for polypropylene are followed.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For daily maintenance, vacuum regularly. For spills and stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. A mild detergent and water solution can be used for tougher stains; test in an inconspicuous area first. For outdoor use, it can be hosed down and allowed to air dry completely.
  • Reversing: To switch between the two colour options, carefully lift and flip the runner over. Ensure it lies flat in its new position.
  • Maintenance: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight when used outdoors to prevent potential fading over extended periods. Rotate the rug periodically if placed in an area with uneven wear.
