FAQs
Is this rug safe for use with underfloor heating?
Yes, polypropylene rugs are generally suitable for use with underfloor heating. However, always ensure adequate ventilation and follow your underfloor heating system's guidelines.
What are the exact dimensions of this runner rug?
This Melrose Colorama Scallop Runner Rug measures 67cm in width and 200cm in height (length).
Can I use this rug in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, its hard-wearing and easy-to-clean polypropylene pile makes it suitable for kitchens. For bathrooms, ensure it won't be constantly wet, as it's designed for indoor use.
What material is the rug made from?
The rug is woven from a soft, durable, and easy-to-clean polypropylene pile.
How often should I vacuum the rug?
Regular vacuuming, typically once or twice a week depending on foot traffic, is recommended to remove dirt and maintain the rug's appearance. Use a vacuum without a beater bar or with the bar set to a high pile.
Does the rug come with an anti-slip backing?
No, this rug does not have an integrated anti-slip backing. An anti-slip rug grip is recommended as a separate purchase, especially for use on hard floors.
Troubleshooting
The rug slides or moves on my hard floor.
This is common on smooth surfaces. Place an anti-slip rug grip underneath the entire rug. This will secure it in place, prevent slipping, and help eliminate wrinkles.
The rug has creases or doesn't lie flat after unrolling.
Allow the rug several days to flatten out naturally. You can also gently roll it in the opposite direction of the crease for a short period. Using an anti-slip rug grip can also help to keep it flat.
There's a stain on the rug that won't come out with simple blotting.
After blotting with a dry cloth, use a small amount of mild rug surface shampoo. Apply it to a clean cloth (not directly to the rug) and gently work from the outside of the stain towards the center. Blot dry with another clean cloth. Avoid oversaturating.
The rug seems to be shedding fibers.
Minimal shedding can occur with new rugs, especially polypropylene ones. This typically subsides after a few vacuuming sessions. Ensure you are vacuuming without a beater bar to avoid damaging the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility, and Care for Your Runner Rug
Setup
- Unroll: Carefully unroll your rug in the desired location.
- Flatten: Allow time for any creases from packaging to relax and flatten. Gently reverse-rolling the rug can accelerate this.
- Anti-Slip Grip (Recommended): If placing on hard flooring surfaces like wood, tile, or laminate, it is *highly recommended* to use a separate anti-slip rug grip. This crucial step prevents the rug from shifting, reduces trip hazards, and helps keep the rug looking smooth and wrinkle-free.
Compatibility
This rug is designed for indoor use only and is compatible with all types of indoor flooring. Its durable construction makes it suitable for both residential and light commercial settings, especially in high-traffic zones.
Care
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and small stains, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Surface Shampoo: For more stubborn stains or general refreshing, use a mild surface shampoo specifically designed for rugs. Apply according to the product's instructions, blotting and never oversaturating the rug.
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug without using a beater bar setting to remove dust and debris and maintain the pile's appearance.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the polypropylene fibers and alter the rug's color.
- No Machine Washing: This rug is not suitable for machine washing or dry cleaning. Professional rug cleaning is an option for deep cleaning, if necessary.
