Step 1 · Clean the Stair Treads

Before applying any securing method, ensure the top surface of each stair tread is completely clean. This involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose debris, followed by a more thorough cleaning to eliminate any grease, wax, or old finish residues. A good degreaser or a clean cloth with a mild solvent might be necessary for stubborn grime. Allow the treads to dry completely before proceeding.
