When cleaning the stairs, sweep them, vacuum them, then wash them. If your stairs are rough, you may want to sand it smooth. Once your stairs are squeaky clean, you\u2019re ready to go with that paint job!<\/p>\n

Step 4: Paint away!<\/h2>\n

Here comes the fun part: the actual painting! Paint every other stair so you won\u2019t step on wet paint. Once the first set dried up, paint the unpainted set.
