Attachable carpet stair treads provide a safe, slip-resistant surface with a hook-and-loop fastening system. Your household will appreciate the added stability, especially older adults. Our carpet stair treads provide comfort on wood, tile and other hard stair surfaces and help to protect them from damage. They help soften noise throughout your home, which is ideal for lively children and pets. DO CARPET STAIR TREADS ATTACH TO STEPS? Our attachable stair treads feature a hook-and-loop fastening system. Each stair tread comes with (4) adhesive-backed hooked-fiber strips that adhere to your step and (4) looped-fiber strips sewn into the back that attach to the hooked-fiber strips. The intentionally low profile design creates a firm grip with no added bulkiness, and none of the components will be seen from the top. The fastening system keeps the treads securely in place, but allows for easy removal and reattachment as needed for cleaning.

Attachable stair treads help to create a safer environment for your household, including your dog, cat and other pets. Walking up and down hard stair surfaces can be a fearful challenge for new puppies, senior dogs and aging cats. The soft surface of carpet stair treads will keep their paws cozy while the added traction helps to prevent slipping, allowing them to move with confidence. If you have pets, consider a carpet color or design that won’t showcase their shedding. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CARPET STAIR TREADS: The hook-and-loop fastening system helps to keep your treads in place while vacuuming but will become damaged if put into a washing machine. Polyester is a naturally stain-resistant material, but when your attachable treads need cleaning, we recommend vacuuming to remove surface dirt and spot cleaning with mild soap and water.
