How can I repair the shine to rubber coated stairs?

Question

I cleaned my stairs at work with mopping solution. They ended up looking really dry, cracked and faded. They have live a rubber coat on them and I think I stripped them. The material is like cove base baseboards. I need to make them shiny and hydrated looking. they look awful!

Answer 1

You can replace the shine with a kitchen floor product like 'MopnGlo'.

But you will still have the cracks and fading.

You can try some vinyl repair products for the cracks - find these in the automotive section of Wal-Mart.

Liquid shoe polish might take care of the fading.
