   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.

2. 0:45–0:50 Scrub and Agitate the Wood Surface From How to Make Oak Stairs Less Slippery, Step 1: Clean the Oak Stair Treads

   Once the cleaner has had sufficient time to work, begin scrubbing the stair treads vigorously with a stiff-bristled scrub brush (shown from 0:45-0:50). This mechanical action helps to remove the loosened gray, weathered wood fibers, mold, mildew, and ingrained dirt. Pay close attention to areas that are heavily soiled or discolored, ensuring complete removal of the unwanted patination. Work methodically from the top step downwards to prevent re-depositing grime on already cleaned sections.
