At Oak Valley Designs, we believe in products that stand the test of time, and proper care is key to their longevity. While our carpet stair treads are designed for durability, they require a gentle touch when it comes to cleaning. Machine washing is a definite no-go – it can compromise the adhesive backing and overall integrity. Instead, we champion regular vacuuming, swift spot-cleaning, and for a deeper refresh, a careful hand-wash or professional-style shampooing. Always finish with thorough air drying to keep your treads looking their best and performing safely.
