Cleaning fireplace advice please

[Stephen Blair]

I put water on the fire 1 night back in winter to calm it down and now it's a bit rusty.

It's cast, any tips on what's best to clean it up.

Thanks

You could try a wire brush that fits onto an electric drill, you can buy them at b & q

try the finest wet and dry paper prob 2000 grit to remove the rust then brasso and elbow grease to bring the shine back

You can get wire brushes made from brass (a bit softer ) or try a bit of wire wool.
