Step 1 · Prepare Your Stairs for a Perfect Fit

Before you begin, it’s essential to create a perfectly clean surface for your new treads. Any lingering dust or grime can prevent the special adhesive from forming a secure bond. Start by using a stiff brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to clear away loose debris. For tougher spots, a mild household cleaner on a damp cloth works wonders. Be sure to let the wood dry completely; a dry surface is critical for proper adhesion.
