Using an orbital sander, carefully sand down the entire surface of each stair tread and riser. This step removes old varnish, paint, or imperfections, providing a clean base for subsequent finishes. Pay attention to edges and corners, using a detail sander or hand sanding if necessary. After sanding, use a shop vacuum and a damp cloth to thoroughly clean all dust from the stairs and surrounding areas. This ensures good adhesion for primer and paint.
