How to Clean and Maintain Carpet Stair Treads

Anti Slip Stair Treads are high-traffic locations in public as well as industrial contexts. Depending on the material used for construction, they can easily acquire dirt, filth, and other debris. Without frequent cleaning, dust and debris can accumulate on stair steps, resulting in an ugly mess that is hard to remove. Here's how to clean different types of staircase treads based on the building material and the amount of grime and/or debris.

Whether you have hardwood stairs having a carpet runner and fully carpeted steps, they will require cleaning. Stairs are generally a high-traffic location in your house. Muddy footwear, pet fur, and accidental spills are all common in areas with heavy traffic.

Regular cleaning using a brush and mop, as well as a moderate solvent cleaner, may swiftly remove dust and dirt from stair treads. It is critical to utilize an attachment for a brush so that the hairs can get into cracks and other hard-to-reach regions of the treads. If required, use a moist cloth to remove any leftover dirt or dust.

Best Way to Clean Carpet on Stairs

  • Use a brush with scrubber and stiff broom to dislodge debris and dirt from the carpet fibers, beginning at the top then working your way down, paying special attention to the edges and corners. 

  • Suck through the loosened soil with a portable vacuum or one having brush while hose attachments, beginning at the top and working your way down to prevent trampling dirt. 

  • Apply carpet shampoo to the carpeted stairs by hand using a light scrub brush. Work the shampoo deeply into the fibers of the carpet, paying special attention to any stains or spots that appear particularly unclean. To remove extra water, use a wet/dry vacuum intended for vacuuming up liquids and soak it up with a towel. 

  • Ensure that the carpeting is as clean as possible to avoid mildew and mold growth. 

  • Allow the steps to dry normally for around half a day. 

  • Vacuum the steps one last time when they've totally dried.

Maintenance

If you have small children or are extremely clumsy, you should invest in one of these repellent water sprays and apply it to the Stair Tread Covers every six months and so. You should also apply it after each visit from the neighborhood carpet cleaning experts, since a thorough extraction with a truck-mounted steam cleaning equipment will remove the coating of protection as well as all debris, dust, and dirt that is trapped in the carpet fibers.

Secure Carpet Stair Tread

Securing carpeting stair treads begins with selecting the appropriate attachment technique for your stair material and everyday usage. Here are several practical techniques to fasten the stair treads.

Double Sided Carpet Tape

This is a few of the simplest and most used approaches. The tape offers a tight grip and is ideal for temporary deployments or rental houses where only minor changes to the stairs are permitted.

Tack Strips

Tack sheets can be applied along the outer edges of every tread to provide a more lasting solution. They have a strong grasp, making them suitable for high-traffic stairs.

Carpet Adhesive

Using a specialist carpet glue may provide a foothold, ensuring that Anti Slip Stair Treads remain in place. This approach is suitable for usage over time in busy families.
