FAQs

How do I clean my Buddy Washable & Stain Resistant Runner?

You can easily clean your runner by machine washing it at 40 degrees Celsius (104F) on a gentle cycle. For everyday cleaning, vacuum regularly.

Is this runner suitable for homes with pets or children?

Yes, absolutely. Its stain-resistant properties make it ideal for busy households with pets and children. The non-slip backing also adds a layer of safety.

Will this runner slip on my hard floors?

No, it features an advanced non-slip rubber backing designed to keep the runner securely in place on various hard floor surfaces.

What kind of stains does the runner resist?

It is stain resistant to many common stains including tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, and non-oil based make-up.

What is the pile height of this runner?

The Buddy Runner has a beautifully soft 10mm pile height.

Where is this product designed and manufactured?

This Buddy Rug collection is 100% designed and manufactured in Britain.

Does the runner shed fibers?

No, the Buddy Runner is designed to be anti-shedding, ensuring a cleaner home and longer-lasting product.

Troubleshooting

My runner is sliding on the floor.

The Buddy Runner features an advanced non-slip rubber backing. Ensure the floor surface beneath the runner is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris that might interfere with the backing's grip. For optimal performance, use on hard, smooth surfaces.

A stain won't come out after spot cleaning.

The runner is machine washable at 40C. For stubborn stains (like tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, or non-oil based make-up), machine wash the entire runner on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Always ensure you check the specific stain type for compatibility with the rug's resistance features.

The runner looks flat or dull after some use.

Regular vacuuming can help restore the pile. For a more thorough refresh, machine wash the runner at 40C as per care instructions. Once dry, the soft 10mm pile should regain its original bounce and appearance.

My runner has temporary creases from packaging.

New runners often have creases from being rolled or folded. These will typically relax and flatten out naturally within a few days of being unrolled and walked on. You can also try gently back-rolling the runner in the opposite direction of the crease for a short period to help speed up the process.

The colour doesn't seem as vibrant as it used to be.

While the runner is colour fast and fade resistant, accumulated dirt and dust can dull its appearance. A machine wash at 40C will remove these residues and help restore the original vibrancy. Ensure proper drying to maintain the fabric's integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally easy to clean with machine washability at 40C.
  • Highly durable and long-lasting due to 100% polypropylene construction and strong fibers.
  • Ideal for busy households thanks to superior stain resistance against common spills.
  • Enhanced safety with an advanced non-slip rubber backing.
  • Hygienic and fresh with built-in mould and microbe resistant technology.
  • Maintains its aesthetic appeal over time with colour fast, fade resistant, and anti-shedding properties.

Cons

  • Synthetic material (polypropylene) may not offer the same texture or aesthetic as natural fibers for some users.
  • Optimal care requires machine washing at a specific temperature (40C), which may not be suitable for all washing machine capacities, especially for larger runners.
  • While resistant to many common stains, it does not repel oil-based make-up or other oil-based substances.
  • The 10mm pile height, while soft, might require more effort to thoroughly vacuum compared to very low-pile options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Unroll: Carefully unroll your Buddy Runner in its intended location.
  2. Position: Place it directly on your desired floor surface. The advanced non-slip rubber backing will naturally grip the floor.
  3. Flatten: If the runner has any temporary creases from packaging, they will typically flatten out within a few days of use. You can also gently back-roll the runner to help accelerate the flattening process.

Compatibility

  • Locations: Suitable for any location in the home, including hallways, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways. Its non-slip and stain-resistant features make it particularly ideal for high-traffic and spill-prone areas.
  • Flooring Types: Compatible with most hard flooring surfaces (e.g., wood, laminate, tile) and can also be used on carpeted areas to protect them, though the non-slip benefit is most pronounced on hard surfaces.
  • Aesthetic: Available in a wide range of colors and sizes to complement various interior designs.

Care

  • Regular Maintenance: For daily care, simply vacuum your runner regularly to remove dust and loose debris. The anti-shedding design means minimal fiber loss.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stains, apply a mild detergent solution to a cloth and gently dab the affected area, then blot with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Machine Washing: For a deeper clean or significant spills, the runner is machine washable at 40C (104F). Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Ensure your washing machine has adequate capacity for the runner's size.
  • Drying: After washing, reshape the runner and lay it flat or hang it to air dry. Ensure it is completely dry before returning it to the floor to prevent mildew, especially given its mould and microbe resistant technology.
  • Bleach and Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fibers and affect the color fastness.
