Begin by inspecting the carpet on the stair to pinpoint the exact area where it has become loose or worn. Gently lift the carpet edge to fully expose the underside of the carpet backing and the surface of the stair tread (subfloor) beneath. Using a scraping tool or a stiff brush, meticulously remove all traces of old adhesive, any remaining padding remnants, dust, or other debris from both surfaces. This ensures that the new adhesive will have a clean, strong surface to bond to.
