FAQs
What is Wilton grade quality?
Wilton grade quality refers to a method of carpet manufacturing where each tuft is woven directly into the backing. This creates a very durable, dense, and stable carpet construction, preventing tufts from loosening or becoming threadbare over time.
Is this carpet suitable for pets?
Yes, the 100% Polypropylene material is stain-resistant and bleach-cleanable, making it ideal for homes with pets. It is also anti-static and moth-proof.
Can I cut this runner to a different size?
This specific runner is professionally finished to the exact size ordered (270cm x 70cm). While it can be cut further, it is not recommended as it may compromise the edges and the integrity of the weave. It is best to order the size that fits your space.
How thick is the carpet?
The carpet has a thickness of approximately 9mm.
What is the backing made of?
The backing is a woven/hessian material, which is a natural jute backing.
Will the pattern wear off?
The pattern is integrated into the carpet's construction and the Polypropylene fiber is resistant to fading from UV sunlight, ensuring the design remains vibrant and clear with normal use.
What is the fire safety rating?
The product has a low radius of ignition and has been hot nut tested to comply with BS 4790 standards, indicating a good level of fire safety for domestic use.
Troubleshooting
Carpet appears flat or crushed in high-traffic areas.
Ensure regular vacuuming (without a rotating brush). The reinforced pile is designed to resist crushing, but heavy, constant pressure over a long period might cause temporary compression. Rotating the runner if possible, or ensuring consistent cleaning, can help maintain its appearance.
Stains are difficult to remove.
As the carpet is 100% bleach cleanable, try a diluted bleach solution after blotting up excess. Always test the solution on a small, hidden area first. For persistent stains, consider professional carpet cleaning.
Runner is slipping or moving on stairs.
Secure the runner using appropriate stair rods or strong, double-sided carpet tape specifically designed for runners. Ensure the subfloor or carpet grippers underneath are in good condition.
Fraying edges.
The edges are professionally finished. If fraying occurs, it may indicate damage from excessive friction or snagging. Trim any loose threads carefully with scissors. For significant fraying, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This carpet runner is designed to be professionally finished to your exact size order. For stair runners, it is recommended to secure the runner using appropriate stair rods or anti-slip carpet tape to prevent movement and ensure safety. Ensure the subfloor is clean and dry before installation.
Compatibility: The runner is compatible with most standard staircase types. Ensure the width of 70cm is suitable for your stairs. It can also be used as a hallway runner. While it has a jute backing, it is recommended to use a suitable carpet gripper or underlay for added comfort, safety, and to protect both the runner and your flooring.
Care: For general maintenance, vacuum regularly without a rotating brush to prevent damage to the pile. For spills and stains, act quickly. Blot up excess liquid immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, a solution of mild detergent or a diluted bleach solution (100% bleach cleanable) can be used. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep-seated dirt.
