- 3How to put a ladder on stairs to reach light fixturesStandard ladders cannot maintain balance on angled steps, which leaves high fixtures and ceiling lights completely inaccessible for bulb changes or cleaning. Using an adjustable-leg ladder that straddles the stairs with independently locked heights provides a stable platform and eliminates the danger of wobbling.

This constant shifting makes homeowners reluctant to spend more money on expensive pads that ultimately fail to keep the rugs in place.
