Although not explicitly demonstrated in the video, it is crucial to ensure the staircase is clean before installing the treads. Thoroughly clean each wooden stair surface to remove any dust, dirt, pet hair, or debris. This preparation ensures optimal adhesion of the non-slip backing, preventing the treads from shifting and maintaining a neat appearance. Use a vacuum cleaner for loose particles, followed by a damp cloth and a mild cleaner if necessary.
