FAQs

What material is the Vanhoutte carpet runner made of?

The runner is crafted from 100% stain-resistant polypropylene with a plush 9mm pile.

Is this runner suitable for a kitchen?

Yes, it is classified as Heavy Domestic and is bleach cleanable, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens.

How should I clean tough stains?

For tough stains, you can use a bleach solution diluted with water, following the care instructions. Always rinse thoroughly and air dry.

What are the dimensions of this specific runner?

This variant has a width of 100cm. The length can vary, so check product details for specific sizing.

Does it have a non-slip backing?

The runner features a natural jute hessian backing for strength, but for added security, especially on smooth floors, a separate non-slip rug pad is recommended.

Can I use this runner outdoors?

While durable, this runner is primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may affect its longevity and appearance.

How do I prevent creases?

After unrolling, allow the runner to lay flat for 24-48 hours. Placing heavy items on the edges can also help flatten it.

Troubleshooting

Runner does not lay flat

Ensure the runner has been allowed to acclimatize for 24-48 hours after unrolling. Place heavy objects on the edges or corners to help flatten it. Using a rug pad can also help it lie flat.

Stains are difficult to remove

Blot spills immediately. For persistent stains, use a bleach solution as per care instructions, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.

Edges appear to be fraying

Ensure the runner is not being subjected to excessive friction from furniture or vacuum cleaner brushes. Check if the jute backing is intact. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully with scissors.

Static electricity is noticeable

While the runner is anti-static, extreme environmental conditions might still cause minor static. Ensure humidity levels in the room are adequate. Anti-static carpet sprays can be used sparingly if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the carpet runner on a flat, clean surface. Allow it to lay flat for at least 24-48 hours to remove any creases from packaging. For added security, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic, consider using a non-slip rug pad underneath.

Compatibility: This runner is designed for indoor use on various floor types, including hardwood, tile, and laminate. It is classified for Heavy Domestic use, making it suitable for hallways, landings, kitchens, and conservatories. Ensure the floor surface beneath is dry and clean before placing the runner.

Care:

  • General Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner. Avoid using a rotating brush or beater bar, as this can damage the pile.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and cold water. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Bleach Cleaning: This runner is bleach cleanable. Dilute household bleach with water according to product instructions and apply sparingly to the stained area. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
  • Drying: Always air dry the runner. Do not use heat or tumble dry.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the jute hessian backing for excessive moisture. Ensure good ventilation in the area where the runner is placed.
