FAQs
How many stair mats are included in this set?
This set includes 15 carpet stair mats.
What are the dimensions of each mat?
Each mat measures approximately 56 cm in width, 17 cm in depth, and 3 cm in thickness.
Are these mats suitable for outdoor stairs?
These mats are designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the material and adhesive.
Can I cut the mats to fit smaller stairs?
While technically possible, cutting the mats may fray the edges and compromise the overall appearance and structural integrity. It is recommended to use them as they are or find mats of a more suitable size.
How often should I clean the stair mats?
For regular maintenance, vacuum the mats weekly or as needed. For deeper cleaning, wash them every few months or when visibly soiled. Ensure they are fully dry before placing them back on the stairs.
Will the adhesive damage my stairs when I remove the mats?
The two-sided adhesive is designed for a secure hold. While it is generally removable, some residues might be left behind on certain surfaces, especially older finishes. It is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area first or use a mild adhesive remover if necessary.
Can I use these mats on spiral staircases?
These mats are best suited for straight staircases. Their rigid dimensions and design may not conform well to the curves of spiral stairs.
Troubleshooting
Mats are not sticking securely
Ensure the stair surface is completely clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or residue before applying. Press down firmly for at least 30 seconds after placement. If adhesion is still poor, consider using a stronger double-sided carpet tape.
Mats are curling at the edges
This can occur if the stairs are not perfectly flat or if the adhesive has weakened. Ensure the mat is laid flat on the stair surface. If the adhesive is old, remove the mat, clean both the mat's back and the stair surface, and reapply with fresh double-sided tape.
Mats appear to be worn or matted down quickly
This may be due to high foot traffic. Regular vacuuming helps maintain the pile. For very heavy traffic areas, consider using the mats in conjunction with other stair protection methods.
Color does not match expectations
Colors can appear differently on various screens. While efforts are made to represent colors accurately, slight variations are possible. Check product images carefully and consider ordering a single mat first if color matching is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface of your stairs is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris before application.
- Peel off the protective backing from the two-sided adhesive tapes on the back of each mat.
- Carefully align the mat with the edge of your stair tread, ensuring it covers the desired area (top and front).
- Press down firmly on the mat to secure the adhesive.
Compatibility:
These mats are designed for standard stair dimensions (56 cm width). They are suitable for most indoor staircases, including wood, laminate, and existing carpeted stairs. Ensure your stairs are relatively flat and do not have excessive curves or ornate detailing where the mats might not lay flat.
Care:
- Cleaning: The mats are washable. For regular cleaning, vacuuming is recommended. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild detergent and cold water, or machine wash on a gentle cycle. Allow mats to air dry completely before reapplying to stairs.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the adhesive. If the mats start to lift, clean the stair surface and reapply with new double-sided tape (not included).
