Clean Wroughtiron Exterior Lighting

Wrought-iron light fixtures are durable and ideal for outdoor use.


Wrought iron is a durable, attractive option for exterior lighting. Made from an alloy of iron and slag, wrought iron is commonly used to make outdoor furniture and fixtures such as exterior lighting. Dirt and debris can gather on the wrought-iron exterior lighting from exposure to weather, so you need to clean it periodically. Use mild products to remove dirt and cobwebs without harming the finish. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Fill a bucket with 1 gallon of warm water and add 3 tsp. of dish detergent.


2. Turn off the power to the light fixture at the electrical breaker. Unscrew the lightbulbs and set them aside while cleaning.


3. Dip a cloth into the bucket of soapy water, and wring it out. Wipe the light fixture to remove any dirt, debris or cobwebs. Rinse the cloth in the bucket as needed.


4. Dampen a cloth with warm water and wring it out. Wipe the light fixture to remove any soap residue.


5. Dry the light fixture with a clean cloth.


6. Screw in the lightbulbs and turn on the power.
