The Eddy runner in white keeps the checked pattern calm rather than loud. It makes a tidy hallway runner for a narrow passage, and the same look works beside a bed or in a children's room. The white check fits right in with our Checked Rugs.

What is the Eddy runner made of?

Polyester, 100% of it, forms the pile on a jute backing, which puts the white runner with our Synthetic Fibre Rugs. It was woven on a jacquard machine in Turkey, which is why the lines of the check come out so crisp and even. Long and shaggy, its pile is soft to step on.

Where would it look right?

A white rug with this check suits a bright bedroom, where the runner lies along the side of the bed. It also suits a kids' room: the surface is soft underfoot, and white looks fresh. The runner sits well on floorboards or tiles. Underfloor heating underneath is fine. Weighing up lengths? Our guide explains which size to pick. The Eddy runner also comes in beige and black, and the Eddy range includes a round version in beige.

Caring for the white Eddy runner's shaggy pile

Polyester lets liquid sit on the fibre for a moment, so you have time to blot a spill with a clean cloth and little water. Comb the long pile with a wide-toothed comb so it doesn't mat, and work flattened patches up against the pile, as looking after your rug describes. Turn the runner now and then, and vacuum without the rotating brush.
