LAMINET Non-Slip Carpet & Floor Protector - Beige - 9' L x 30" W

Arrived in time. Was surprised at how thin it actually was but that is what I needed. Very pliable. Have it covering the Berber carpet on the stairs heading to the basement because those get incredibly filthy. I'm naturally slow going down a set of stairs so it is good as-is for me, but if I had busy kids racing up and down those stairs I'd be looking for a way to secure it at each step. Looking forward to seeing how it responds to being tossed in a washing machine.

After recently replacing the carpet on our basement stairs, I wanted to preserve the new look for a while. I bought this protector to try out. I am happy using it. I wanted to minimize the appearance of a dirt path on the steps and this does the trick. Yes, this is thin, foam backed material but there is a slight stretch and it is durable. It's been perfect for our carpeted stairs to the daylight basement where there is heavy traffic in our 2-person household. You'll notice it grabs up a bit of debris from your "up/down" - but think about it: if it were not on this protector it would be in the carpet . In the past, I have cleaned it up by shaking it out and vacuuming but recently I just washed it as the instructions say: On "Delicate" warm or cold water; tumbled dry on "Low", till dry and voila - like new. I'm not sure how many washings it can handle with time. For right now, the protector is minimizing the appearance of a carpet crush path. And it IS a ONE person job pulling up AND laying back down; I've tried it both ways and it is best for one person. Roll up the protector to take off and once laundered, roll it up before applying again. That way you just unroll it into place from top step - down a step at a time to place - to bottom, easy-peasy.

This product completely failed to adhere to the carpet on my stairs. Indeed its lack of adhesive quality makes it both dangerous and most unsafe as it crumples and creates folds with every step. It would be utterly unsafe for any elderly or young people to use. The product looks NOTHING LIKE the picture. Sadly, a waste of money.

This product does not stick to the carpet. I had previously ordered a product from "Carpet Saver" and thought this was the same thing. It definitely is not the same. I returned this product and ordered instead from Carpet Saver. Also, it wasn't until I entered a return request that it said there would be a 15% restocking fee. This was not clear at the beginning of the return transaction.

maybe 2 sided tape will work.
