Avoid sanding dust
The first step is to sand your staircase to give it a good surface for the paint to adhere to. When the surface is sanded, dust occurs. A smart alternative is to use a hand sanding support with suction. It connects to the vacuum cleaner when you’re sanding, so you don’t have dust flying around.

Paint every other step
