One of the easiest ways to treat slippery wooden steps is to apply a nonslip coating spray. The spray is a clear epoxy that provides a textured finish to ensure better traction on the stairs. Hardwood tile concrete and stone can all be very slippery surfaces. If this is the case coatings or other solutions might not be as effective.

Falling down stairs can lead to serious injury and slippery stairs pose a threat to anyone in your family. All three of these methods make the surface of each stair rougher add traction and significantly reduce the risk of slipping. Include a pic of your problem and your question gets posted first.

Your only choices are to apply chemical solvents or roughen up surfaces with sand paper or plain steel wool. Covering your stairs in carpeting can provide a softer and less noisy surface for you to walk up and down on. However carpeted stairs can quickly turn slippery and pose a serious safety hazard for all who walk on the staircase. The best way to make your hardwood stairs less slippery is to add traction by installing carpet anti slip adhesive stair treads or applying a coat of anti slip floor finish to the surface of each stair.
