Step 3 · The Oak Valley Difference: Gentle Hand-Washing

Your Oak Valley Designs carpet stair treads are designed for an easy, DIY-friendly deep clean through hand-washing or thorough spot-cleaning. Here's a crucial tip for preserving the quality and safety of your investment: *never* put your treads in a washing machine.
