Soft and matt in the hand, cotton gives this beige runner a gentle feel under bare feet.

A washable runner for bedroom and kitchen

Being machine washable at 30 °C, the runner gets a cycle of its own and then dries laid out flat, never in the tumble dryer. That suits a kitchen, where it can lie along the worktop, and a bedroom, where it runs beside the bed. Kids' rooms take it too, and it is listed with our kids room rugs. Flat and light, it is easy to pick up and move. Its long shape also makes a hallway runner. Tape the length out and use our sizing tips so some floor shows at the ends.

How the beige Chindi Uni runner is made

Chindi rugs are woven on a handloom from strips of fabric, so each one varies a little in tone. This cotton rug is 100% cotton, handwoven in India, with a fringe at each end. Like all jaloom's cotton rugs, it can lie over underfloor heating. Handwoven, it may also vary slightly in size.

Keeping the Chindi Uni runner flat

Light cotton moves on smooth floors. A grip mat cut just short of the runner's edges, as how to clean your rug suggests, keeps the corners down. Vacuum the beige runner on a low setting and shake it out over the doorstep.
