[Bobballs]

I went to wipe down my step this morning, its a combo of bricks and tiles,

I was only using 'water' on a cloth and noticed the paint was just comming off on to the cloth. The front step now looks a dull and needs a bit of a lift.

Whats the best way to prep the front step and what paint should I be looking to use ? Worried that rubbing the tiles down would just scratch them up.

PS yes I know I need a new door mat

Thank you
Bob

Tile or floor paint from your local diy shop will do the trick...as apints are all different id stick to the preparation instructions on the tin
