Description
Tralbane is an indoor runner doormat for homes with a dog. Small cartoon bones are scattered from end to end in red, teal, pink, mustard, orange, olive green, grey and cream on a warm beige ground. A deeper beige border frames the pattern, so the runner looks tidy and finished wherever it lies. The pile is 100% nylon on a foam latex backing, and the maker describes the mat as hard-wearing with a natural resistance to stains. It comes in one size, a 50 by 150cm runner, long and slim enough to follow a hallway or fill the strip of floor just inside a back door.
We think of it as a working mat for a busy pet household. Lay it just inside the front or back door and it catches wet paws before they reach the rest of the house, or run it along the hallway where your dog dashes to greet you. It earns its place beneath food and water bowls too, where dropped biscuits and splashes land on the mat instead of the floor. In a utility or boot room it gives a damp walk somewhere to end. What you gain is one cheerful runner that gathers the everyday mess in a single place you can lift and wash.
At 5mm thick, the runner sits close to the floor, but check the gap beneath any door that will swing across it before you settle on a spot. When it needs freshening, the maker's care is simple: it is machine washable at 30 degrees. Before ordering, measure the space you have in mind. Leaving a strip of bare floor at either side of the runner keeps a hallway looking neat. On a smooth floor, an underlay helps keep a runner in place.

Frequently Asked
Can this runner go outside the front door?
No, this is an indoor doormat. Set it just inside the front or back door, in a porch or along the hallway, where it catches what comes in on feet and paws.
Will it stay fresh after lots of washing?
The maker tells us the mat keeps its freshness through repeated washing and everyday use, so you can wash it at 30 degrees as often as your dog makes it necessary.
Which way should the runner lie in a hallway?
Lay it lengthways, with the 150cm side running along the hall, so it follows the natural path that people and pets take from the door.
Is this mat only for homes with a dog?
Not at all. The bone pattern is a playful nod to dogs, but the mat works just as well as an everyday runner inside any door or along a hallway.
