Apricot Weave Kitchen Runner Rug

What this kitchen runner rug is

This is a flat runner rug made for indoor floors. The surface is a printed faux woven fabric, so it reads like a woven textile without the loose loops. Underneath, a non-slip rubber backing grips the floor and helps the rug stay in place.

The rug is machine made and hand wash only. It is free of bisphenol A and polyvinyl chloride, and it has no high-concerned chemicals. The low, flat profile works well in spots where a thick rug would catch on cabinet doors or chairs.

Sizes

Pick the length that fits your space. All sizes share the same 17.7 in (45 cm) width, so the runner lines up neatly along a counter, a hall or a doorway.

Measure your floor before you choose. Leave a little space at each end so the edges sit flat and do not curl against a wall or cabinet.

Colors

Three colors are available:

• Gray: a calm neutral that hides everyday dust and works with most kitchens.
• Black: a strong, clean look that frames light floors and light cabinets.
• Apricot: a warm, soft tone that adds a little color without taking over the room.

Each color uses the same printed faux weave surface, so the texture stays consistent across the range.

Where to use it

This runner is made for indoor floors, including the kitchen, bathroom, door and bedroom. In the kitchen, place it along the counter where you stand while cooking or washing up. In a hallway, a longer size keeps the walkway covered and warm underfoot. At a door, a shorter size gives you a spot to step in from outside. In the bathroom, the rubber backing helps it hold on tile and other smooth floors.

The flat surface is easy to sweep or wipe. It does not have a deep pile, so crumbs and dust sit on top rather than sinking in.

How to place it

1. Clear the floor and wipe it dry. The rubber backing grips best on a clean, dry surface.
2. Unroll the runner and let it rest flat for a short time if it was rolled tight.
3. Set it where you stand most, such as in front of the sink, stove or door.
4. Press down along the edges so the backing makes contact with the floor.
5. Check that the runner does not block a door swing or a cabinet door.

If the runner sits on a smooth floor, the non-slip backing does the work. On carpet, it will still lie flat, but the grip is strongest on hard surfaces.

Care

Hand wash this runner. Use cool water and a mild soap, then rinse well. Do not machine wash and do not tumble dry. Lay it flat or hang it to air dry, away from direct heat. Once dry, smooth it back into place.

For quick cleaning between washes, shake it out or vacuum the flat surface on a low setting. Wipe up spills soon after they happen so the printed surface stays looking its best.

A simple fit for busy floors

A runner rug should do two things: cover the path you walk and stay where you put it. This one keeps a low, flat profile, comes in four lengths and three colors, and uses a non-slip rubber backing for everyday indoor use. Choose the size that matches your space and the color that fits your room.
