Understanding Wrought Iron
Wrought iron is an ornamental metal that has been molded for
decorative purpose. You can see this in any house or in fancy filming locations
especially those shown in Spanish eras. This has been popular for many
centuries and has been used for patios, railings, and other ornamental decors.
With its texture, the wrought iron can catch dust and dirt which may lead to
rusting if not taken care of immediately. To help it from getting rusted and
damaged, here are ways to clean it.
1.
Prepare a soap or a dish washing solution
Mix mild soap or dish washing solution or even a household cleaner with warm water. If you are cleaning a large wrought iron, you may use a bucket of this solution. For smaller items, you may use a spray bottle.
You may also work with vinegar especially if you are cleaning indoor wrought iron like those in the stairs of 5401 Olympic. The vinegar solution may be too mild for outdoor wrought irons.

cleaning solution is left in the bottle before replacing it with clean water.
