Product Information

Full details

This Tartan Stair Runner in Red is designed for homeowners seeking to add both comfort and durability to their busy staircases. Its key benefit is the combination of a plush, soft feel with 100% stain-resistant polypropylene material, ensuring easy maintenance and a cushioned step. A potential caveat is that while professionally finished to size, users must ensure accurate measurements for a perfect fit, as it's custom-cut. Key features include its stain-resistance, Wilton-grade construction, anti-static properties, and jute hessian backing for shape retention.

FAQs

What is the pile height of this stair runner?

The stair runner features a plush 9mm pile height, offering a comfortable and cushioned feel underfoot.

Is this runner suitable for outdoor use?

No, this stair runner is designed for indoor use only. The jute hessian backing is not suited for outdoor elements or moisture.

How do I measure for a custom-fit runner?

Measure the length of each individual stair tread from the edge of one riser to the edge of the next. Ensure you account for any desired overhang or skirting.

Can I clean this runner with a pressure washer?

No, a pressure washer is not recommended as it can damage the fibers and backing. Spot cleaning and professional cleaning methods are advised.

Is the red tartan pattern prone to fading?

The runner is designed to be fade resistant, helping to maintain the vibrancy of the red tartan pattern over time.

What is Wilton-grade construction?

Wilton-grade construction refers to a weaving process where every tuft is securely woven into the backing during manufacturing, ensuring greater durability, snag resistance, and shape retention compared to other methods.

Does the runner come with adhesive or grippers?

No, the runner is supplied as the fabric piece only. You will need to purchase suitable carpet grippers and double-sided carpet tape separately for installation.

Troubleshooting

Runner feels stiff or has creases upon arrival.

Allow the runner to unroll and lay flat in a warm room for 24-48 hours. This helps the material relax and the creases to disappear. Ensure it's not in direct, extreme heat.

Stains are difficult to remove.

For stubborn stains, use a bleach-based cleaner diluted with water. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth, blot gently, and rinse the area with a damp cloth. Avoid over-saturating the backing.

Runner shifts or bunches up.

This indicates the securing method may be insufficient. Ensure you are using strong carpet grippers and high-quality double-sided carpet tape. Check that the tape is adhering well to both the runner and the stair. Re-tape as needed.

Vacuum cleaner seems to be damaging the pile.

Adjust your vacuum cleaner to a higher pile setting or turn off the beater brush if possible. If using a robot vacuum, ensure it's suitable for carpet runners and set to a lower intensity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stain resistance for easy cleaning.
  • Soft and comfortable underfoot due to the plush pile.
  • Durable construction designed for heavy traffic.
  • Maintains shape well over time.
  • Resistant to fading and static.
  • Customizable size for a perfect fit.

Cons

  • Requires accurate measurement for custom sizing.
  • May require professional installation for a perfectly neat finish.
  • Can be heavier than lighter-weight rug options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This runner is professionally finished to your specified dimensions. For installation, it is recommended to use a high-quality stair gripper and double-sided carpet tape to secure the runner firmly to each step. Ensure the staircase is clean and dry before application.

Compatibility:

Suitable for most standard indoor staircases. The jute hessian backing provides stability on solid surfaces. It is not recommended for use on spiral staircases or where excessive moisture is present.

Care:

  • General Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner. Avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar on high pile settings to prevent damage.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water solution or a bleach-based cleaner suitable for polypropylene carpets. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, consider professional carpet cleaning or use a carpet cleaning machine with appropriate cleaning solutions, following the machine's instructions. Ensure the runner dries completely afterward.
  • Maintenance: Check the gripper and tape periodically to ensure the runner remains securely in place.
