| Metal Furniture--Cleaning Information |
Most indoor furniture made of metal is chrome, wrought iron or painted steel. Dust with dry or slightly- dampened cloth, or vacuum cleaner brush. If soiled, wash with cloth or sponge wrung out of mild-detergent (hand dishwashing liquid) and luke-warm water. Wipe with clean sponge or cloth wrung out of water. Wipe dry with cloth or paper towel to avoid water spots. Check label whether it may be waxed or not (some metal finishes should not be waxed). If OK, may be waxed if desired with furniture wax recommended for metal on label. Or if label on furniture does not recommend otherwise, may be cleaned with cleaner-polish for furniture.
