Starting from the top of the stairs, use the pump sprayer to apply a generous and even coat of the wood cleaner to each stair tread. Work your way down, ensuring all exposed wooden surfaces are thoroughly saturated (as seen from 0:35-0:44). Allow the cleaner to sit on the wood for approximately 15 minutes, as instructed by the product, to break down embedded dirt, mildew, and the weathered gray layer (the undesired patina). This dwell time is crucial for the cleaner to effectively penetrate and loosen contaminants.
