Step 2 · Apply Stair Protectors

Begin at the top of the stairs. Lay down stair treads or carpet protectors, ensuring they cover the entire tread surface and, if possible, extend slightly over the riser. Secure them with painter's tape if they tend to shift. For temporary protection, thick moving blankets can be used, carefully folded and taped to conform to the stair shape.
