The antique wrought iron objects have a special charm and recall to mind the skill of the craftsmen who forged the forms, bending the material ablaze above the anvils. Until a short time ago the shops of blacksmiths were still many, today’s productions hand have become increasingly rare and those who have them will do well to have the utmost care, even when cleaning.
The iron in fact, being a metal, is exposed to the phenomenon that the oxidation in the presence of moisture generates rust, responsible for harmful corrosion. We see, then, how to clean and keep intact wing, lanterns, beds, wall lights, keys, locks and raiurface intact.
Where the immersion in water is not possible, due to the size of the objects or for their immovability, on the surfaces will pass repeatedly a sheet of sandpaper and then will proceed with a wash spray. Once dry, you can hang it over a coat of anti- rust paint, not to drip absently. Alternatively, the iron can be cleaned with fine steel wool and oil that will prevent oxidation.
When the objects to be cleaned are rusty, we must leave them to soak overnight in water the next morning without letting them
dry, they will be friction with steel wool and thin with a brass brush and iron In presence of very dirty water you can add a degreasing agent to buy in stores on items for paints If there are only one or two spots of rust just pass over oil or naphtha that will create a real barrier Sometimes l ‘ extension of rust is remarkable, especially when it comes to large gates and railings: at that point it will proceed with a sandblasting as to perform to experienced people with the help of special machines.
