Full details
These vidaXL stair mats are designed for homeowners seeking to enhance safety and aesthetics on their staircases. The key benefit is the reduction of slipping hazards and protection against wear and tear, all while adding a decorative touch. A potential caveat is that the mats are shipped rolled, requiring time to flatten before optimal use. This set includes 10 black mats made from durable, easy-to-clean polypropylene, featuring a non-slip underside and noise-reducing properties.

FAQs
How many stair mats are included in a set?
Each set includes 10 stair mats.
Are these stair mats suitable for outdoor use?
These mats are designed for indoor use. Outdoor conditions and elements may degrade the material and adhesive.
Can I cut the stair mats to size?
While the material can be cut, doing so may fray the edges and potentially compromise the adhesive application. It is best to use them as they are or select a size that fits your stairs.
What is the material of the stair mats?
The mats are made from 100% polypropylene in a needle-punched fabric construction.
How do I ensure the mats stay put?
Each mat features a non-slip underside and comes with self-adhesive dots. Ensure the stairs are clean and dry before application and press firmly.
What are the dimensions of each stair mat?
The dimensions of each mat are 65 cm in length, 21 cm in width, and 4 cm in thickness (T).
How often should I clean the stair mats?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. For best results, clean when visibly soiled or when the non-slip backing seems to be losing effectiveness due to accumulated dirt.
Troubleshooting
Mats are not lying flat.
Ensure the mats have had sufficient time (48+ hours) to flatten after unrolling. Placing heavy objects on the edges can also help. If still curled, try a gentle steam application (from a distance) followed by pressing them flat.
Mats are slipping after installation.
Verify that the stair surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Ensure the self-adhesive dots are firmly pressed down. For added security, consider using additional double-sided carpet tape.
Adhesive is no longer effective.
The adhesive may lose effectiveness over time, especially after frequent washing. Clean the underside of the mat and the stair tread, then reapply with new double-sided tape or strong adhesive suitable for fabric and flooring.
Mats appear faded or damaged after washing.
Ensure you are using cold water and a mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not tumble dry. Air drying is recommended to preserve the material and backing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the stair mats upon arrival. To help them flatten, lay them out on a flat surface for at least 24-48 hours, or place heavy objects on the corners.
- Ensure your stairs are clean, dry, and free from dust or debris before application.
- Peel off the protective backing from the self-adhesive dots on the underside of each mat.
- Carefully position each mat on the desired stair tread and press down firmly to ensure a secure bond.
Compatibility:
These mats are designed for most standard indoor staircases. They adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces. Compatibility may be reduced on heavily textured or carpeted stairs.
Care:
- Cleaning: The stair mats are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: It is recommended to air dry the mats. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the backing and material.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the adhesive bond and reapply pressure if needed. Ensure the non-slip underside remains free of dirt and debris to maintain its grip.
