How do I make indoor hardwood steps non-slip?
Question:We have hardwood stairs inside our home. Is there something I could add to the steps to give traction to minimize slipping?
Answers:
There are a couple of things. The first would be a put a rough surface on top of them like carpet or or a stay put rubber-mat.
There are products designed specifically for treating hardwood to make the surface non-slip.
Check with your local Home Depot or Lowes.
