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.

Decor Styles: The modern traditional design complements a wide range of interior aesthetics, from classic to contemporary.
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.
