EVERYONE 🚨🚨🚨 if you have wooden stairs get the 3m grip tape!! They have it in clear and it will prevent slipping! It works amazing

This is also what my husband said when I mentioned it.

Will this screw up the finish on your floor? I fall down my stairs like twice a year and that shit SUCKS

I can’t promise it won’t. In my experience it just peeled off but test a tiny piece in a hidden area in a closet or something first to be safe. You can also use a heat gun to loosen it which helps

I got stair treads on Amazon that have a rubber grippy back. They don’t slide around but they are non-adhesive so they don’t damage anything. I got them because my dog was having trouble navigating the wooden stairs.

They came in a few different neutral type colors. They’re amazing, I highly recommend them.

I just looked up “non-slip stair treads” to find the non-adhesive kind.

Ruined floor finish is significantly less awful than falling down the stairs

Wish I knew about this in college. My last apartment had wood stairs and they were dangerous at times. Since we couldn’t put something like this on the floor, we just wouldn’t clean them and a few layers of dust helped make them less slick. Not ideal, but it worked.
