Once the stairs are clean and dry, begin installing the carpet treads. The video shows a person carefully positioning the first tread onto a wooden step. Align the tread by ensuring it is centered or placed according to any pre-marked guidelines. Once positioned correctly, press down firmly across the entire surface of the tread, paying particular attention to the edges and corners, to activate the adhesive backing (if applicable) or secure the non-slip material. Use your hands to smooth out any air bubbles and ensure full contact with the stair surface.
