Product Information

Full details

This runrug 'Ivy' stair runner is ideal for homeowners seeking a durable, stylish, and practical solution for their indoor and outdoor staircases. Its key benefit is its reversible design, offering two looks in one and extending its lifespan. A potential caveat is that it requires separate securing methods (e.g., tacks, tape) as it does not come with adhesive backing. The runner is crafted from 100% stain-resistant polypropylene with a slim 2mm flatweave construction, making it tough for high-traffic areas, pet-friendly, and resistant to stains, UV fading, static, and moths.

FAQs

Is the runner non-slip on its own?

No, this runner is not self-adhesive and requires separate securing methods like carpet tacks, double-sided tape, or staples to prevent slipping.

Can I cut this runner to fit my stairs if it's too long?

While the material can be cut, it is best to consult with a professional or ensure you have the right tools and techniques to prevent fraying and achieve a clean finish. The flatweave construction can be prone to unraveling if not handled properly.

How often should I clean the stair runner?

Regular vacuuming (weekly or bi-weekly) is recommended to remove surface dirt. Spot clean spills immediately. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, typically every few months or when visible soiling occurs.

What is the best way to clean pet accidents?

Blot up as much of the liquid as possible immediately with a clean cloth. Use a mild detergent mixed with water to gently clean the area, then blot again. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Ensure good ventilation.

How do I utilize the reversible feature?

To reverse the runner, carefully remove the existing fasteners (tacks, staples, or tape) holding it in place. Flip the entire runner over to expose the other side, and then re-secure it using your chosen fastening method.

Is this suitable for outdoor stairs?

Yes, the runner is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, with materials resistant to UV fading and general wear and tear.

What is the thickness of the runner?

The runner features a slim 2mm flatweave construction.

Troubleshooting

Runner shifts or wrinkles

Ensure the runner is securely fastened to each step using adequate carpet tacks, tape, or staples. Check that the securing method is appropriate for your stair material and is applied evenly along the edges and potentially in the center for wider runners.

Stubborn stains are not coming out

For difficult stains, try a slightly stronger, bleach-free carpet stain remover specifically designed for polypropylene. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Blot gently and rinse thoroughly with water, ensuring the area dries completely.

Edges are fraying

If fraying occurs, it may indicate the runner is not adequately secured or has been subjected to excessive friction. Trim any loose threads carefully with sharp scissors and ensure the runner is properly tacked down, especially at the edges.

Runner appears faded in certain areas

While UV resistant, prolonged direct sunlight can still impact color over extended periods. If fading is noticeable, consider rotating or flipping the runner if the wear pattern allows, or use window coverings to reduce direct sun exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut (if necessary): While this runner comes in a specific size (60 cm x 660 cm), ensure it fits your staircase. If adjustments are needed, professional cutting services may be recommended depending on your desired outcome.
  2. Secure the Runner: The runner is not self-adhesive. You will need to secure it to your stairs using appropriate methods such as carpet tacks, double-sided carpet tape, or staples, depending on your stair material and preference. Ensure the securing method is applied evenly to prevent shifting.
  3. Flip for Refresh: To utilize the reversible feature, carefully remove existing fasteners, flip the runner over, and re-secure it in place.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most indoor and outdoor staircases.
  • Works well on wood, tile, or composite stair surfaces when properly secured.
  • The slim 2mm profile is compatible with most standard stair designs without impeding door functionality.

Care:

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water solution. Blot, do not rub.
  • Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the runner to remove dust and debris. Use a standard vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or ensure the beater bar is raised to avoid damaging the fibers.
  • Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, use a carpet cleaner designed for synthetic fibers or consult a professional carpet cleaner.
  • Drying: Ensure the runner dries completely after cleaning to prevent mildew, especially in humid environments. Air circulation is key.
