Fortunately, you can add clear, vinyl stair protectors that will prevent the carpet from wearing out prematurely while reducing the slippery nature of the stairs.
Things You Will Need
-
Open the package and lay the stair protectors out flat. If possible, read and follow the directions included with the stair protectors for best results.
-
Start at the top step and place a stair protector on the step. The edge of the protector will wrap over the edge of the step and attach to the area under the contour of the step.
-
Place a carpet tack in the pre-punched holes and gently pound into the step with a hammer. Continue pounding tacks into the pre-punched holes with a hammer until the stair protector is secured to the carpeted steps.
-
Continue installing the clear protectors in the same manner as before until you have attached a clear, vinyl protector on each step.
