Runner carpets

Runners

When is a runner rug most suitable? A runner rug is perfect for narrow and long spaces, such as hallways. However, it also fits well in the living room, bedroom, or kitchen. Jakobsdals offers runner rugs in sizes 75x140 cm and 80x250 cm, made from wool and cotton or polyester. A runner rug adds color and shape to your room. It also makes the floor warmer, softer, and more comfortable to walk on.

How to take care of your wool runner.

The durable wool is a natural material that, with proper care, is both naturally dirt-repellent and long-lasting. It's important to note that a wool runner will shed at first. This happens because there is leftover material and loose threads from the manufacturing process. If you vacuum your runner gently, the shedding will decrease over time. Keep in mind that wool is sensitive to direct sunlight. For minor stains, it’s best to treat them immediately with gall soap or dish soap in lukewarm water. Avoid using chemicals. Always work from the outside of the stain inwards and blot it away. More difficult stains should be treated by a professional. Wool also has natural flame resistance.

How to care for your polyester runner.

Polyester is a relatively low-maintenance material that is less sensitive to moisture and stains. The material is easy to dye, which gives it a beautiful shine and luster, creating a very soft and luxurious impression. When caring for your polyester rug, it's important to note that some polyester rugs can sometimes be difficult to clean deeply. Therefore, it’s essential to flip and shake the rug during cleaning. Excessive wear can result in a decrease in luster, so it’s recommended to rotate the polyester rug occasionally. Avoid getting greasy stains on the rug, as they can be very difficult to remove.

How to care for your cotton runner.

Cotton is a relatively durable material, but it may seem to attract dirt easily. Unlike wool, cotton fibers do not have natural flame resistance. Jakobsdals cotton runner rugs may show both color and size variations due to the manufacturing process. When caring for a cotton runner rug, it’s important to keep in mind that cotton is sensitive to direct sunlight. For minor stains, try to treat the stain immediately using gall soap or dish soap in lukewarm water. Never use chemicals. Always work from the outside of the stain inwards and blot it away. More difficult stains should be treated by a professional. It's also a good idea to shake (never beat) your cotton rug once or twice a year.
