Troubleshooting
Runner not lying flat
Ensure the subfloor is level and dry. Check that the runner is adequately secured along its length and edges, potentially requiring more adhesive or securement points.
Persistent stains
Use a bleach-cleanable solution as per product instructions, testing in a small area first. Blot thoroughly and allow to dry completely. For very stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Fraying edges
Ensure the runner was professionally finished. If fraying occurs, it may indicate an issue with the edge binding. Contact the retailer or a professional carpet fitter for repair.
Static electricity build-up
While designed to be anti-static, in very dry environments, some static may occur. Regular cleaning and maintaining moderate humidity levels can help mitigate this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This runner is professionally finished to your exact specifications. Ensure you measure your staircase accurately before ordering. The runner typically requires professional fitting or careful DIY installation, often involving stair rods or adhesive solutions to secure it firmly in place.
Compatibility: The Mayan Stair Runner is designed for use on standard residential staircases. Its jute hessian backing is suitable for most subfloors, but it's recommended to have a clean, dry, and level surface for installation. Ensure compatibility with any underlay if used.
Care: Regular vacuuming is recommended to maintain the appearance and remove surface dirt. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent or a bleach solution (test in an inconspicuous area first). Due to its bleach-cleanable nature, most common household stains can be effectively removed. Avoid excessive moisture, especially on the jute backing.
