Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 January 1912 — For Rusty Grates. [ARTICLE]

For Rusty Grates.

Grates rust easily when fires are given up, and when the cool days come and fires are again needed the housewife looks for a means to clean and polish them. A little bath brick made into a thin paste with sweet oil rubbed over the surface of the grate or fireirons and worked fa. with a soft cloth will do the work. Polish with a chamois or old flannel. Common salt and brown paper, heated, will remove rust from steel grates or flatirons.
