FAQs

Can I machine wash the maker Essentials Utility Runner?

It is strongly recommended to check the specific care label attached to your runner for precise washing instructions. Generally, runners with anti-slip backings are best spot cleaned or gently hand washed to preserve the backing and material integrity. Machine washing might damage the anti-slip layer.

What sizes are available for this runner?

The maker Essentials Utility Runner is available in a range of sizes designed to suit various areas within the home. (Info needed: exact dimensions, e.g., 57x150cm, 57x180cm, etc. Please check product specifications for precise measurements).

Is the anti-slip backing safe for all floor types?

The anti-slip backing is designed to be effective and safe on most hard floor surfaces including hardwood, laminate, and tile. Ensure the floor is clean and dry for optimal performance. We recommend checking with your flooring manufacturer if you have any specific concerns about your particular floor type.

Will this runner protect my floors from heavy furniture?

While the runner provides a protective layer against general foot traffic, scuffs, and minor impacts, it is not specifically designed to withstand the concentrated weight and pressure of heavy furniture. For heavy items, separate furniture pads are recommended.

How do I remove creases from the runner?

Creases from packaging typically flatten out on their own within a few days of laying the runner flat. You can accelerate this process by placing heavy, flat objects (like large books) on the creased areas for several hours or overnight.

Is the Grey color a light or dark grey?

The Grey color is a versatile shade designed to blend well with various decors. (Info needed: more specific description if available, e.g., 'mid-tone grey', 'charcoal grey'). It is part of a limited two-colorway range.

Troubleshooting

The runner isn't lying perfectly flat.

After unrolling, it may take a day or two for the runner to settle completely. You can expedite this by gently rolling the runner in the opposite direction or placing heavy, flat objects (like books) on any curled edges overnight. Ensure the floor underneath is free of debris.

The runner seems to shift slightly.

For the anti-slip backing to work effectively, the floor surface must be clean and dry. Dust, dirt, or moisture can reduce grip. Clean the floor thoroughly before placing the runner. Avoid using floor waxes or polishes that can leave a slippery residue.

There's a visible stain on the runner.

Address spills immediately. Blot, do not rub, the stain with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Then, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water) and gently blot the stained area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and blot dry. Avoid saturating the runner.
