Step 1 · Clean the Stairs

Vacuum each stair tread thoroughly to remove all loose dirt, dust, and debris. After vacuuming, wipe down each tread with a clean, damp cloth. Allow the stairs to dry completely before proceeding to the next step. This ensures a clean surface for the adhesive to bond effectively.
