Non Slip Stair Treads, 15 Pack 8 x 30 Inch

Fifteen treads at 8 by 30 inches, in soft wear resistant polyester with a diamond quilted face and a bound edge. They hold with TPR self adhesive backing rather than tape, glue or tacks, which is the whole install: clean the step, peel the film, press it down. It takes about five minutes for a full staircase. They lift off without leaving residue, so a rental staircase goes back the way it was, and they can be vacuumed in place or put through the washing machine when a pet or a spill gets to them.

Why we picked it

Bare wood stairs in socks are the fastest way to end a good morning. These add grip without changing the staircase, which is the whole appeal in a rental: they come up clean and leave the original wood the way it was. Being washable matters more than it sounds, because the step everyone spills on is the one that shows it.
