Ask the Old Farmer: What can I use to clean the rusty
old flatirons my mother used to heat on the stove 7
B A , Winooski, Vt
If you clean these too much you'll spoil the antique look I
would scrub them with a steel wool soap pad and rinse
well Air-dry them, then apply a coat of boiled linseed oil
to keep them from rusting again
