What's Best Material for Carpet Runner, Wheelchair User

Mar 22, 2014 2 Replies

Hi, I need to replace a 27" x 10' runner in my apartment as my old one is shot. It held together pretty well considering I paid only a few dollars a foot at Home Depot yrs ago. I use a heavy power wheelchair and so need something sturdy w/a rubber backing. I saw the runners listed below but on the 1st onelisted many reviews complained of lint etc sticking to it and that even with a vacuum it was hard to clean and recommend getting a neuteral color. Problem with that is the runner is by my front door and my chairs tires can get very dirty (even greasy) when I go out.



I'm wondering which of these runners do you feel would be least prone to attracting lint, dirt etc. and is easiest to clean? To me the second listed looks a little less fuzzy than the other and therefore may not track as much lint? It also looks stronger.



Thanks in advance for all the info you can provide!
