With the stairs clean and dry, apply a thin, even coat of Minwax Polyurethane to the wooden treads using a paintbrush. For practical access, apply the polyurethane to every other step, allowing the untreated steps to be used for movement. Ensure consistent coverage and avoid drips or puddles. Allow the first coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
