FAQs
How many stair mats are included in a delivery?
Each delivery contains 5 stair mats.
What are the dimensions of each stair mat?
Each stair mat measures 65 x 21 x 4 cm (Length x Width x Thickness).
What material are the stair mats made of?
They are made of 100% polypropylene needle-punched fabric.
Are these stair mats suitable for outdoor stairs?
These mats are designed for indoor use. Outdoor conditions like moisture and extreme temperatures may affect their material and adhesive properties.
Can I cut the stair mats to fit smaller stairs?
The product description does not specify if they can be cut. Cutting may affect the durability and the integrity of the edges.
How do I clean the stair mats?
The mats are washable and can be cleaned with cold water and a mild detergent. Ensure they are fully dry before re-application.
Do I need to use additional adhesive?
The mats come with self-adhesive dots. For most indoor applications on smooth surfaces, this should be sufficient. However, on certain surfaces, additional adhesive may be considered.
Troubleshooting
Mats are not sticking securely.
Ensure the stair surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. If the surface is very porous or uneven, consider using a strong double-sided carpet tape in conjunction with the existing adhesive dots for a more secure hold.
Mats are shifting after a short period.
Re-apply pressure to the mats, ensuring they are firmly pressed down. Check if the adhesive dots have picked up any debris. Clean the stair surface again and re-attach the mats. For persistent shifting, consider a stronger adhesive solution.
Mats appear dirty quickly.
Spot clean minor stains immediately. For deeper cleaning, follow the washable instructions using cold water and mild detergent. Ensure they are completely dry before re-placing.
