Because they're stairs, I probably don't want them to be as nice and smooth as my floorboards. My cat nearly stacks it every time she races into the dining room to get her breakfast.
How do I achieve this? Presumably there's a more scientific way than just finishing with lower grit paper?
Depends on the aesthetic of the rest of the place, but you could use adhesive cork tiles cut to tread size. Get them unfinished and use Osmo, or pre-finished with oil. Avoid PU lacquer as it’ll be just as slippy as polished floors.
Sanding, painting and oiling stairs...
