Removable Stair Treads

Our non-damaging adhesive is designed for a secure hold that also allows for easy removal. To begin, gently lift one corner of the tread. Work your way slowly along the edges, peeling the tread back steadily. Avoid any sudden yanking or pulling—a little patience ensures your stairs remain pristine and your tread is ready for cleaning. This is a core part of our 'No nails, no glue, no stress' promise.

This is a critical step for ensuring the longevity and quality of your treads. Please, never put your Oak Valley treads in a washing machine. The intense agitation will damage the tread’s structure and destroy the special adhesive backing. Instead, simply use a clean, damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent to spot-clean. After cleaning, lay the tread flat to air-dry completely. Reapplying a tread while it's still damp will prevent it from sticking securely, compromising its safety.

Before you re-stick your clean tread, give your stair a quick inspection. While our adhesive is designed to lift cleanly, it’s always a good practice to wipe the surface with a clean cloth and a mild, wood-safe cleaner. This removes any dust or faint residue, guaranteeing a perfectly flat surface for the tread to adhere to. This simple prep step is crucial for re-establishing that secure, non-slip grip that gives you peace of mind.

You’re ready to finish this easy DIY stair remodel! Once your tread is completely dry and the stair is clean, align it carefully. Just like the first time, press down firmly in the center and smooth your hands out toward the edges. This pushes out any trapped air and ensures the 'Clean, peel, and stick' backing makes full contact. For even longer life, consider rotating your treads periodically to distribute wear. Remember to keep treads away from standing moisture to protect the adhesive's bond and provide lasting safety.
