FAQs
What material is the Homemaker Maestro Vintage Runner made from?
The runner is made from 100% polypropylene pile, which makes it very durable and easy to clean.
Can I use this runner on hard floors?
Yes, you can use it on hard floors. However, it is highly recommended to use an anti-slip rug grip underneath to prevent slipping and ensure safety.
How do I clean spills or stains on the runner?
For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stains, gently blot with a clean cloth and a small amount of mild surface shampoo. Avoid rubbing the stain. Then blot with a damp cloth (water only) to remove residue and allow to air dry.
Is this runner suitable for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Its hard-wearing polypropylene construction is specifically designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, making it perfect for hallways, entryways, and kitchens.
What are the dimensions of the runner?
The runner measures H:200.0 cm x W:67.0 cm x D: cm.
Can I machine wash the runner?
No, the runner is not suitable for machine washing. It should only be spot cleaned as directed.
Troubleshooting
Runner slides on hard floor
Ensure a high-quality anti-slip rug grip is placed underneath the entire runner when used on hard surfaces like wood, tile, or laminate.
Creases from packaging
Allow the runner to lie flat for 24-48 hours. Rolling it in the opposite direction for a short period, or placing heavy, flat objects on the creases can also help it settle.
Stain won't come out
Ensure you are blotting the stain immediately and not rubbing it. Use only mild surface shampoo and avoid saturating the rug. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be required.
Fading in high-traffic areas
Regularly vacuum the runner to remove abrasive dirt particles. Consider rotating the runner periodically if one section receives significantly more foot traffic than others to distribute wear evenly.
Edges curling
This can happen if the rug grip is too small or if the runner is catching on something. Ensure the rug grip covers the entire underside. You can also place heavy objects on the curling edges for a day or two to flatten them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll and Position: Carefully unroll the runner in your desired location. Allow it some time to flatten out if it has minor creases from packaging.
- Use a Rug Grip (Recommended): For hard floor surfaces (wood, tile, laminate), place an anti-slip rug grip underneath the runner. This is crucial for preventing slips and ensuring the runner stays securely in place.
- Adjust as Needed: Position the runner to align with your hallway or room's dimensions.
Compatibility

- Room Types: Ideal for hallways, entryways, kitchens, and other high-traffic areas.
- Decor Styles: The modern traditional design complements a wide range of interior aesthetics, from classic to contemporary.
Care and Maintenance
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum the runner regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum cleaner with an adjustable brush height to prevent damage to the pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, act quickly.
- Blot Immediately: Use a clean, dry white cloth or paper towel to blot up as much of the spill as possible. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
- Apply Surface Shampoo: Lightly apply a small amount of mild carpet or surface shampoo to a clean cloth.
- Gently Blot the Stain: Blot the stained area with the damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards.
- Rinse (Blot Only): Use a separate clean, damp cloth (with just water) to blot away any soap residue.
- Dry: Blot with a dry cloth and allow the area to air dry completely. Avoid saturating the rug.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the polypropylene fibers and color.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consult a professional rug cleaner.
- Rotate Occasionally: If placed in an area with uneven wear, consider rotating the runner periodically to distribute wear more evenly.
