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 :)

I have the brown one & have not seen any staining on my floor. I have a light colored tile.

Yes, it will be very prevalent where the stain is. Works best in low/no light environments. Stain will show even after cleaned if in fibers of carpet but will be duller in brightness level.

There's no issue, however, I strongly urge anyone to place a treadmill mat on the carpet before placing the treadmill, to protect the carpet.

We don't use ours on carpet however we believe that with the weight of the treadmill there should not be any issues

Works fine on carpets I notice very little slipping. Not sure about staining.

I can't answer that one, I'm afraid. We don't have Stainmaster carpeting. My suggestion is to test an inconspicuous area, such as in the back corner of a closet.

Not at all. I have tile flooring so it doesn't move or leave marks if I was to take it down, I'm unsure about carpet

I have mine on carpet and it hasn't ruined the carpet. I think it will be safe.

You do not need a mat and it manifestly will not wear your carpet. If you sweat a lot (I do) then put a towel under the monorail to protect the carpet while you work out.

We use the mat to protect the floor, so I think as long as the whole treadmill fits on the mat, you should be ok.

Yes, it will protect your floor from the treadmill. You need to get it, we have it on our carpet and recently moved the treadmill and rubber mat to shampoo the carpet and the carpet was not damaged. This mat should especially protect your wood floors as well! Happy treading!!

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.

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.

No. I have mine on a carpeted area in front of french doors leading outside which are used several times each day and there is no problem with any staining under the mat.

You might want to consider getting at least a throw rug to put directly on your hardwood floor and then put the mat on the rug. That way no moisture would get under the mat to damage your floor. The mat also help to lessen the sound of my treadmill, and I'm really glad I have it. If you had to move your treadmill, having the rug under the mat would make it very easy to slide it on your floor. Hope this helps.

I don't know if I understand your question. I purchased a gym mat and placed the treadmill on top of it. I have an impression that I could just have placed the treadmill directly on my carpet and that it would work fine. Please elaborate further if you'd like more help.
