Clean the Surface: Make sure the installation area is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or debris.

Smooth Out Uneven Areas: Peel-and-stick tiles work best on flat surfaces. If the area is textured or uneven (e.g., old vinyl flooring or rough concrete), consider using contact paper or a similar material to create a smooth, even base.

Degrease the Surface: For greasy or oily areas, like kitchens or bathrooms, use a degreasing cleaner to remove residue. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and let the surface dry completely.

Allow Adequate Drying Time: After cleaning and preparation, ensure the surface is fully dry before installing the tiles. This helps achieve a strong, lasting bond.
