How to remove squeaks/creaks in stairs?

[JohanÅ]

So a classic freestanding staircase in our house from -03 creaks and squeaks. Is there any way to remove the noise without taking down the staircase?

Thanks for the help!

You have no strip or wooden slat under the stair treads that are screwed, loosen the screws a bit if you have that construction.

Tighten the screws on the ladder.

joo..are they the ones that can creak?. I thought it was the actual fastening that was making the noise...

Yes, they can also creak. Nowadays, a plastic shim is placed between the child safety strip and the step to prevent creaking.

Yes, they can also creak. Nowadays, people put a plastic spacer between the child safety strip and the step to prevent creaking.

There are already spacers there..

Then you should focus on retightening the steps. Remove the cover caps and tighten the screws properly.
