Wrought iron is a decorative metal.
Wrought iron is traditionally used in building ornate fences, stair railings and window guards, although it has gained popularity also as decorative art for your walls or other areas in your home. Wrought iron is not as susceptible to rust as cast iron but it will rust over time. Cleaning rust from wrought iron is not a difficult process and will restore it to its original finish with little effort. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Wash your wrought iron with a cleaning cloth moistened with water. Wipe it dry with another cloth. Do this before repairing any rust spots and periodically throughout the year.
2. Apply a small amount of kerosene to any rust spots on your wrought iron with a cleaning cloth.
3. Use fine-grade steel wool to scrub away the rust.
4. Allow the kerosene to soak into the rusted areas for several minutes if the spot is stubborn. Repeat using the steel wool and kerosene application until the rust disappears.
5. Wipe away any remaining kerosene with a clean cloth.
