When you have a dog that has goofy legs or joint issues, you want to help protect them from injury or further injuries. To do this we must find alternatives to what we may have within the confines of our homes. I use carpet pieces with rubber backing cut to fit in my kitchen. There is also doggie booties and foam tiles you can use, but I find that applying this product, you save money, time and still get to enjoy the beauty of your floors. How can you lose?

Some of us pet parents have wood, laminate or tile flooring that may be slippery for our pets and possibly for ourselves as well.

I know I have tile flooring and I myself cannot walk on it. I have slipped and fell recently with bare feet. And when it is wet, it's 10 times worse. I have injured my arms trying to catch myself. My dog with hip dysplasia refuses to try to walk across it. I have the carpet pieces laid over the top of the floor for all of us to walk safely on it. I think all vet clinics should have this applied to their floors as well. Talking about some slick flooring. I have to put booties on her when we go to vet clinic.

So I would like to share what I discovered. I was totally unaware of these types of products and upon doing a project here at home, ran across this. If you have flooring and it is slick, you can put these products on your floors and it will stop the sliding. It's easy to apply and fairly cheap. This is my next project. I am excited to try this and will be doing this soon. They offer different sizes for different sq ft. You can also do concrete and wood as they make products for that as well. This is a golden find for those slick floors. Highly recommend you try this if you have slick floors. Can also be applied to shower floors and pool areas as well. How awesome is that?

Do wear protective clothing when applying. Good ventilation is best. This should remain a safe-on-contact product. Most surfaces are ready within 5-25 minutes..depending on what you are applying it onto.

Allow InvisaTread to dwell (exact time shall be determined by your pre-application testing). Keep surface saturated with the product during the entire dwell time. DO NOT allow to dry out, puddle or run off. Apply more InvisaTread as needed. Two coats may be needed but not usually. Test it yourself then reapply if needed. You will rinse off once ready for walking on. Read manufactures instructions for best results.

Easy and safe to apply; Simply pour or spray on, let stand and RINSE AWAY!!

After your grout with tile has completely dried out, you may notice some white residue form in a few spots over the next few days. This is a salt residue left over after application; it is not harmful and will be removed with regular cleaning. To remove right away, scrub with 1:4 dilution of vinegar to water, or 1:32 dilution of TractionWash to water.
​
NOTE: This does not occur on every application or every type of grout.

Works on porcelain, ceramic, granite, unpolished travertine, concrete, brick, honed stone, unpolished limestone, slate, quarry tile, stamped concrete and much more.

*InvisaTread® is Not for use on wood, Polished Marble, Polished travertine or Polished Limestone

It states that it should be reapplied after 3 years but this is only for high traffic areas such as commercial use. It should be permanent. You can always re-apply anytime to help it more.

Note from manufacture: Invisatread is not a coating so there is no dry time. But there is a DWELL TIME in the application process.... CLEAN, APPLY, DWELL, RINSE. Dwell time is the biggest variable, the longer you leave it on the more traction it creates. Most surfaces are 5-25 min some are multiple dwell times. Best practice is to lay out 3-4 tiles (or a small hidden area) and test different dwell times for your particular surface. If after 25 minutes it's still not as strong as you'd like; rinse, dry and do another application. Read all directions!
