You could even cut a thin piece of reel material and attach it to a door handle- to provide a visual cue and stable gripping surface.<\/li>\n<li>Our non-slip range comes in highly visible colours such as red and yellow. You can also buy products in forest green, lime, pink, silver, blue, black and white, which gives you plenty of options for tying Dycem in with the rest of your home\u2019s d\u00e9cor.<\/li>\n<li>Dycem non-slip does not feel sticky to the touch, despite its very non-slip properties. This means that if you\u2019re blind or partially sighted, you don\u2019t have to worry about objects actually sticking to the non-slip material and therefore making objects difficult to pick up and use.<\/li>\n<li>To clean any of our non-slip products, simply wash with warm, soapy water, leave it to dry and your Dycem will be as good as new.
