How to refinish just a couple of steps?
The bottom two steps have become discolored over the years-my guess is the finish is worn off. But I don't want to refinish all of the steps. I've never done steps or wood before. Any advice?

Hi there,
very lightly sand and re-paint them with the right Gloss Paint if timber. If you are talking Concrete External Steps, use a Masonry Paint.
If they are wood, lightly sand them and restain to match the rest of the steps.

Sounds as though your steps are made of wood. If so, you can sand the entire step to remove what finish is still left, find a wood stain that most nearly matches the remainder of the steps and apply it to the newly sanded steps. It may take more than one coat of stain to most nearly match the rest. If the other steps have a shiny seler on them, then also add a sealer to keep the stain from wearing off.
Where are the steps located - indoors, outdoors?
Yes, please post a picture so that we can see what you are working with.
Clean first, then lightly sand and stain to match. Normally steps are only stained without a sealer.
