Step 1 · Clear Obstructions

Walk through the path the furniture will take, both on the stairs and the surrounding floors. Remove all small rugs, doormats, decorative items, shoes, plants, and anything else that is not a permanent fixture. This ensures a clear and safe path for moving, minimizing the risk of items being knocked over or stepped on.
