Melirane Gold 2'10 x 7'10 Runner Rug

Yes, this rug is specifically engineered for durability. It is power-loomed in Turkey using a high-performance blend of polypropylene and polyester. Polypropylene is an industry-standard material for busy areas because it is exceptionally resistant to wear and maintains its texture even under heavy daily foot traffic, making it an ideal choice for corridors or entryways.

To ensure a balanced look in a hallway or walkway, we recommend measuring your floor and leaving at least a few inches of visible flooring on all sides of the rug. This specific runner, at nearly 8 feet long, is designed to visually extend the space of a standard residential hallway. It also works beautifully as a sophisticated accent alongside a kitchen island or at the foot of a bed.

This runner is a practical choice for transitional spaces like mudrooms or foyers in damp environments. Unlike natural fibers that may hold onto moisture, the synthetic blend used in this collection is naturally moisture-resistant and quick-drying. This prevents the heavy, damp feel often associated with rugs in coastal or humid regions, keeping your home's entrance feeling fresh.

It is normal for power-loomed rugs to have temporary curls at the edges upon arrival. To flatten the rug quickly, you can "reverse roll" it by rolling the rug tightly in the opposite direction for a few hours. For stubborn corners, our experts suggest placing a heavy object, like a book, on the edges for 24 hours. Ensuring the room is at a comfortable temperature will also help the fibers relax into their permanent flat shape.

Thanks to its synthetic fiber construction, maintenance is simple and effective. Our care guidelines recommend regular vacuuming to remove debris and immediate blotting of spills with a mild detergent and cool water. For a more thorough refresh, the polypropylene and polyester blend is resilient enough to be steam-cleaned as needed, ensuring a hygienic environment for families and pets.

To ensure safety and long-term durability, we highly recommend using a non-slip rug pad. A quality pad provides the necessary grip to prevent the rug from shifting or bunching, which is a common tripping hazard in narrow walkways. Additionally, a pad adds a layer of cushioning that protects the rug’s backing and prevents friction wear on your hard floors.
