Question

Rug Carpet Stair Treads on Carpeted stairs.?
Hi - I have some rug carpet stair treads (one per tread) that I want to hold in place on carpeted stairs. I like this idea because I can remove and wash them. Is there a carpet tape I can use that will not leave a residue on the carpeted stairs themselves? Or is there some mechanical means I can use to attach/clip them to each tread that still leaves them easily removable and will not damage the stairs.

=== making the stair treads on top of the carpet creates a cushion of thick carpet that makes the stairs a hazard to the footing == as for the attachment of additional tread it would be best for you to call a carpet store or visit one of the hardware giants and ask if there is a solution to your plan ....

I am a carpet installer, and i wouldn't recommend putting these treads over existing carpet and pad on the steps, as it could be a major trip hazard. If you decide to anyway, you can go to a flooring store and buy stair rods that install over the tread, in the crotch of the step.
  
  Good luck, John

You can get them on Amazon for a pretty good price:

Does anyone sell clear platic runners with grippers to place over the stairs? These would be thinner.
