  1. 1:01–1:17 Sand Stair Treads From How to Make Oak Stairs Less Slippery, Step 2: Sand the Stair Treads

    Once the paint is stripped, sand the exposed wooden stair treads to achieve a smooth surface and prepare them for staining. The video demonstrates sanding every other stair to ensure you can still walk up and down the staircase while working. Use a sander, such as a detail sander or orbital sander, starting with a coarser grit (e.g., 80-100 grit) to remove any remaining imperfections and then progressing to finer grits (e.g., 120-150 grit) for a smooth finish.
