Gather Cleaning Supplies — Ensure Complete Air Drying for Lasting Safety

At Oak Valley Designs, we craft our wool carpet stair treads for enduring beauty, superior safety, and straightforward care. While they are designed to be washable, it's absolutely essential to hand-wash or spot-clean them. Machine washing can compromise the integrity of the adhesive backing and lead to shrinkage, diminishing the very qualities that make your stairs safer. Regular vacuuming and immediate attention to spills are your best allies. For a deeper clean, gentle hand-washing or using a carpet shampooer is recommended, always ensuring your treads are completely air-dried before they return to your staircase, ready to provide 'A better way to tread'.
