Is this treadmill mat safe for carpets? I'm concerned that it may stain my light colored carpet.

We have had the mat on our tan carpet for a year now and the carpet under the mat is not stained at all. We love the mat.

I don't know the answer to this question. I have the mat on a travertine floor. I have not seen any color transfer to anything else even when the mat has gotten wet but I don't know.

I put an old sheet underneath it just incase that happened. I have light carpet too. So far the sheet has protected.

I have light colored carpet as well and recently moved my treadmill and there was no problem with the mat bleeding color on my carpet. I had it in the first location for about eight months and use my treadmill daily, hope this helped you. Happy Running :)

It has never altered the color of any of our carpets. If in doubt, test in a corner of your closet. I've used it for several years without a problem but found it benefitted from a good "rinse" with water to the area if heavy use left a residue. I have a small Green Machine I use with only water sometimes.

I use it on carpet. From reviews I read before I purchased the treadmill, the carpet probably keeps it from moving during use. I also read it is fine on carpet as long as it isn't a deep pile, my carpet is not real thick. It works fine. Still easy to fold up and roll over to the corner when not in use.

I have very light beige carpet and I have had no issues with it staining at all. I hope this helps.

The color of the backing is almost the same as the mat itself. I'm using mine on light creme color tiles in the kitchen, I've yet to see any stains around or underneath the mat. I love this product and it makes a huge difference on my back after standing for too long.

I have light colored carpeting and brand new navy slipcovers, and I saw no damage. they do suggest that you test it somewhere where you can't see it, but I didn't bother. good luck, Susan! best, Pat

I have mine on tile, I think it would be ok on a short carpet, not sure how well it would roll? But think it would be ok. I wouldn't call the color yellow, it is a fake distressed look, so the white is ivory, but there is a pine colored faux wood showing through which probably has caused people to label the color as yellow.

I've only used it on carpet and it discolored it very slightly but I notice it. It is very effective if you have light carpets.

I have my mat in my kitchen over hardwood floor and have had no issues with any damage to the flooring. It is a high quality mat.

Not at all. There is a cat in the household with extremely sharp nails and she has not damaged the mat. It holds it shape perfectly despite constant traffic and does not appear to stain.

I don't believe so. My treadmill is on a carpet, but I decided to use the mat anyway just to avoid the possibility of static electricity or grease leaks from oiling the belt, and things like that. For the price of the mat I figure it's cheap protection for the carpet, plus, if I ever move it to a uncarpeted floor, I already have the mat. Hope this helps.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

of course, there is no reason not to. as i have advised before, this is the perfect mat for all floor exercises but not standing balance exercises because the thickness does not allow you to get a firm grip or foot grasp of the floor. I ALWAYS USE IT ON A CARPET.

I don't know, we also had carpet. We use it more for protection. We only used the treadmill after we got the cal mat. However, Our baby was sleeping in the next room. It didn't disturb her when we used the treadmill.

Not sure what you mean by "staining". We use it on a light colored carpet with no concerns.

Krista: I have used my mat on pale green carpet for several years and no stain has resulted from use. Hope that helps. Ralph
