How to Strip Painted Wooden Stairs and Steps

Removing paint from wooden stairs and steps can be a long and laborious project. It’s one of those jobs you put off doing, even if you’re desperate to achieve a certain result! But there is one product that can help transform your hellish paint removal DIY project into a stairway to heaven…

Painted wooden stairs and steps receive a lot of foot traffic. They’re an area in your home (or perhaps outside, if you’re working with a wooden deck) that has concentrated wear and tear. Over time, the patch where people are constantly walking will start to show signs of disrepair. Oils, dirt, liquids, abrasive materials, and changes in temperature can affect how paint looks and adheres to the wooden surface below. Eventually, painted surfaces – especially flooring – can become unsightly, with flaking, blistering, and areas where paint has been rubbed away entirely.

If you’re seeing these signs, it’s a good idea to start thinking about repainting your stairs and steps. However, repainting over flaking or blistering paint may result in less than desirable results. If you’re going to go to the effort to make your stairs look fresh once more, why do a less-than-perfect job?

To get a great finish, the best thing you can do is remove the existing paint first. This may sound like a big job, but with a chemical paint remover that’s safe to use, easy to distribute, and even easier to clean up, removing paint from your stairs can be done faster than you ever thought possible.

Using a paint removal solution that comes in an easy to spray can makes light work of paint stripping. Peel Tec’s unique nozzle allows for even and fast distribution of the gel-like paint stripper. Just hold the can up to 30cm away from the surface, and get spraying! It gets to work instantly removing paint from all surfaces and works with clinical efficiency on all wood as well as a range of other materials. You can trust Peel Tec to remove paint from your stairs and steps as it’s both powerful and non-harmful. It only attacks the paint, not the surface below.
