Product Information
Full details
This runrug Animal stair runner in White is designed for busy households seeking both comfort and durability. Its key benefit is providing a soft, stain-resistant surface for high-traffic staircases. A potential caveat is that its specific dimensions (60 cm x 690 cm) may not fit all staircases without custom fitting. The runner features a plush 9mm pile, Wilton-grade construction, and a secure jute hessian backing, making it anti-static, moth-proof, bleach-cleanable, and fade-resistant.

FAQs
What material is the stair runner made from?
The stair runner is made from 100% stain-resistant polypropylene with a jute hessian backing.
How thick is the pile?
The runner features a plush 9mm pile for a cushioned feel underfoot.
Is this runner suitable for pets?
Yes, the stain-resistant and bleach-cleanable properties make it well-suited for homes with pets.
Can I cut this runner to fit a specific stair width?
The runner is professionally finished to the size you choose. While the material can be cut, doing so may compromise the edges and void the warranty. It is best to select a size that fits your needs or consult a professional fitter.
Does it come with a non-slip backing?
The runner has a jute hessian backing for structure and to prevent snagging. However, for safety and stability on stairs, a separate non-slip underlay is strongly recommended.
How do I clean the runner if it gets dirty?
Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately. Most stains can be cleaned with a mild detergent or a bleach-based cleaner, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'Wilton-grade construction' mean?
Wilton-grade construction refers to a high-quality weaving method where each tuft is securely woven into the backing, resulting in a durable and resilient carpet construction.
Troubleshooting
Runner is not lying flat
Ensure a non-slip underlay is used and that the runner is correctly positioned. Allow a few days for the runner to settle after installation; gravity and traffic will help it flatten.
Stains are difficult to remove
Blot spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a bleach-based cleaner cautiously, testing on a small, hidden area first. Follow up with a damp cloth to rinse.
Runner appears to be moving or slipping
This indicates the need for a better quality non-slip underlay. Replace the current underlay with one specifically designed for stair runners and high-traffic areas.
Fraying or snagging of fibers
Check the integrity of the jute hessian backing. Ensure no sharp objects are catching on the carpet. If fraying persists, contact customer support.
