Is Your Cast Iron Furniture Clean? Prepare It for the Summer!
Do you also like to spend a sunny summer day in your yard? Just sitting down on your cast iron chair or bench, watching how the kids are playing with the dog… Sounds great, doesn’t it? But what is this which you’ve just noticed? Is it some dirt on your cast iron furniture? Oh, no! How would you clean it? Let’s see…
Cleaning cast iron itself isn’t so difficult, only time wasting. You may need to spend few hours fighting with the grime if you don’t use the services from professional cleaners London. It’s clear that they would manage with this situation without any problems but could you get rid of any dirt by yourself?
1. Choose a day
Cleaning cast iron will fill your day so it’s better if you don’t plan to do anything else. Of course, you shouldn’t start removing stains and grime from your cast iron if it’s rainy so check the forecast well in advance.
2. Prepare the area
Consider that you will make lots of mess so it’s better to cover the ground with some newspapers.
3. Scrub, scrub and scrub
Take a deep breath and start removing the dirt. Probably it will take you few hours so be patent. It’s important to take off everything until you get only the bare metal.
4. Apply paint remover
It would help you to loose any left paint or dirt. And don’t forget to protect yourself with goggles and gloves when you work with such chemicals.
5. Scrub again
Unfortunately it’s time to take the wire brush again…
6. Wipe with vinegar
Vinegar would neutralize the paint remover and in this way you would prevent rust forming.
7. Dry
Let your cast iron furniture dry in the sun for few hours and use a cloth to get rid of any rust which might have appeared.
8. Final touch
Use special paint for cast iron and when it’s dried, apply a thin layer of wax.
If you don’t have nerves of steel to carry all this process off, you could always rely on professional cleaners London.
