Easy installation, attractive, effective, excellent value
Our 20-year-old sealed oak staircase was becoming treacherous for my aging wife and me. This product arrived yesterday and I installed it this morning. I think it will be great for our purposes. We compared its price to alternative approaches of painting the steps with something gritty or installing additional railings, and this approach already looks like the best value. I was worried about the installation, but there was no need. In case it proves helpful to others, here’s the approach I used. First, I cleaned the wood surfaces with cleaning wipes followed by a moist cloth. Second, I fiddled with questions of which layer was the backing and how I could best peel it off. The backing is a very thin clear plastic sheet and not the white material beneath it. There is some challenge in starting to peel it. Sometimes a vigorous pull on the arrowed tab got it to start separating and sometimes not, in which case I ran my thumb over it a few times to initiate the separation. Then, I found that a pair of tweezers was much better than my fingers in gaining a purchase on the sheet after which I could grab hold of it with my fingers. It came off neatly in one piece. The next surprise was that the sticky surface of the tread was not very sticky — at least not to my touch. But it worked great once attached to the stair-tread. I could even make adjustments in its placement by lifting part of it or all of it and then pressing it back on. My wife and I made trial runs up and down the stairs and found the surface very stable to walk on. It does gather fuzz easily and I had to remove a few pieces from the newly applied surfaces before taking these pictures. But this is not really a complaint.

Helpful & Affordable, but Nothing Lasts Forever.
This is a pretty good product and affordable. I have hardwood stairs and needed something to make the stairs safer for me and my 10 lbs dog. They stick well so long as you make sure you install with no wrinkle or unevenness. Because I have so many pets, including dust bunnies, I swept, washed, dried the hardwood thoroughly, being sure to leave no soap residue or use something oily. Then as I installed them, one by one, I wiped the stair with a micro fiber lint free cloth right before. After a year or more some are still firmly attached and I got a new box to replace ones that came up. I think my cats pulled them up or maybe it was normal wear. Once once a corner comes up, just a little dust gets under it and it continues to work itself loose. I was happy they did not curl and I had to keep and eye on them because it was hard to notice it coming up—unsafe but I’d rather be mindful and keep the stairs cleaner than see them curl.I kept the ones I pulled up in hopes of figuring out how to revive/reuse the one I had to replace. I seem to remember seeing this in the reviews but didn’t have the time to figure it out.
