Wooden stairs

[Kimberly Derodes]

We are getting a 2 story property ready to rent. Previously the stairs were carpeted. We removed old carpet and found fairly decent hardwood. I think hardwood stairs are beautiful and carpet gets stained easily. My husband thinks wood stairs are too slippery and a safety risk. Anyone have an opinion or experience? Any other way to make safer? I've also found articles online that say carpet stairs can be unsafe.

Thanks!
