Step 2 · Inspect and Clean Stair Treads

Vacuum or brush away any loose dirt, dust, or debris from each stair tread. Inspect the surface for any loose carpet fibers, staples, or nails. If present, carefully remove them. For wooden stairs, ensure the surface is smooth and free of splinters or significant imperfections. Wipe down each tread with a damp cloth to remove any remaining dust.
