Cleaning and polishing Chrome
-
Examine the chrome for rust spots. You can easily fix them using balled up aluminum foil; just rub it gently over the rust spots and it will make the rust disappear. Use a clean cloth with LimeAway, vinegar or rubbing alcohol to clean bad spots on the chrome.
-
Remove the rubber tips on the legs, if possible. This will allow you to clean dirt that might have collected at the top of the rubber tip.
-
Polish the chrome after it is clean by rubbing baby oil, WD-40, furniture polish or furniture polish on with a clean cloth until it sparkles.
