To Donkey Stone my steps?

Long story short I live in a block of 4 flats. There are 2 flats top and 2 bottom. I'm on the top.

The stairs leading to mine and my neighbour's flat are made of concrete...they're SO ugly and grubby looking.

There's a white stripe painted on the riser of each and it's all just old and nasty looking.

On the ground floor one of the tenants owns his flat having bought it in the 80s.

I have asked the Housing Association if they're redecorate the communal area and got a flat "no."

The HA is crap...the tenant who owns is a right old jobsworth and if I DARED to buy some non slip paint and paint the steps he'd have me strung up and put in the stocks after that.

So...short of scrubbing the steps with Cif I thought of Donkey Stone.

Apparently you can still buy Donkey Stones in Ashton Under Lyme market...so if there are any Mnrs who live there...will you please get me one and I will pay the cost and postage? Grin

AIBU to Donkey Stone my steps?

MrsW - suspect you may have actually visited Newcastle-Under-Lyme, which is contiguous with Stoke, not an hour's drive away?

I can remember steps being donkey stoned, but ours was red and therefore cleaned up with Cardinal polish - anyone remember that?
