On similar lines to my other thread, I noticed my wife has used the Dulux Matt wall paint on some woodwork, just keying the existing gloss with sandpaper and painting over it. Same as my other post the matt just washes off when my boy splashes water out of the basin.

Before repainting with the same colour Dulux Satinwood should I?
a) sand every single spec of matt off to get a good key on the underlying gloss
b) sand off enough matt such that the Satinwood can mix with it and key to the gloss
c) just key the existing matt surface with sandpaper

d) wash off the matt paint with a little detergent in water and a sponge scourer, wipe off with a clean damp cloth, then wipe dry with paper towels?
