Do Over
We removed the unsafe carpet on the basement stairs and replaced it with rubber stair treads.

I haven't ever seen that system for stairs over here - but it looks really good, and no doubt much safer.
It is so easy to slip on stairs as one gets older, I've found.
Ditto what the Blue Witch said. I like what I'm seeing and will remember it IF we ever finish our basement. Cool to see it happen step-by-step, so to speak. ;-)
BW- it is actually a commercial product and you usually see in buildings and schools, which means it should last a long time.
Ally- If you do put it in I think you will like it. It looks good, it feels good, and it is easy to clean. One thing I forgot to point out is that my husband also cut and painted the wall skirt. We took a small piece of the rubber stair (you cut the treads to fit) over to Home Depot and they matched the color perfectly. It finished off the steps nicely.
