The video begins by showcasing the product box from 'OAK VALLEY DESIGNS' clearly labeled 'CARPET STAIR TREADS'. The first step involves carefully opening the package and inspecting the treads for any damage or defects. Following this, the wooden staircase needs to be thoroughly prepared. This involves cleaning each step to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that could hinder adhesion. A vacuum cleaner can be used for loose particles, and a mild cleaning solution with a cloth for any grime. Ensure the stairs are completely dry before proceeding. Although not explicitly shown, measuring the center of each step and marking a guideline can help ensure consistent placement of the treads.
